Grace Bungoni — Professional Model Portfolio

Live site: gbmodelling.com

1 | Client & Context

Grace Bungoni is a London-based fashion and commercial model who needed a fast, minimalist website to showcase high-resolution imagery and give brands an easy way to hire her.

2 | The Challenge

  • No single hub for organised images — agencies need quick access to downloadable shots.
  • No enquiry workflow — DMs get lost; brands expect a short form collecting shoot details up-front.
  • Mobile traffic > 70 % — the site had to load fast on 4G and feel friction-free on small screens.
  • DIY content control — Grace wanted to add new shoots without touching code.
