I've been meaning to do this and move away from Smugmug. Would you be okay to share your portfolio and/or source?

Someone beat me to the punch and added the URL (thanks!).

The site is what's left over after trying a few different options, most notably Ghost and later Zola.

Most of the current layout mimics what can be created within Ghost's editor. I then migrated to Zola which shares the bulk of the layout. Currently most of my images are coming from Zola's "/processed_images" directory. You can view the Zola codebase here[1] if you like.

The layouts I'm currently working on (not yet published) are heavily influenced by Andrew Clarke's work [2] and his book "Art Direction for the Web" [3] which I highly recommend if you want to explore less generic layouts online. I hope that on day my site can be example that web design can be as varied and interesting as print!
