The design, up close

Every section ships exactly like this — swap the words and photos for yours.

No editor to fight. Just ask.

Once it's yours, your AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor…) stays connected — these are real requests it handles.

“Replace the grid with the 18 photos I just uploaded, best ones first.”
“Add a new series called "Coastal" and move the beach work into it.”
“Update my about text — I'm based in Lisbon now.”
“Add my Lens Culture award to the recognition list.”
“Make the site white-on-black instead of black-on-white.”

Design details

The grid is the homepage

No hero copy, no "welcome" — your strongest frames, edge to edge, the moment the page loads.

Hover-quiet captions

Titles appear only on hover; on touch screens they sit as small captions. The work stays clean.

Series pages

Group work into bodies — weddings, editorial, personal — each with its own sequence.

About + select clients

One portrait, one paragraph, a client list set in small caps. Enough, and no more.

True monochrome chrome

Pure black, pure white, one gray. Your color photography is the only color on the site.

Fast under heavy images

Lazy loading and responsive sizes built in, so a 40-image grid still feels instant.

How it works

01

Copy it

One click puts this exact site on your account, live at your-name.hatchable.site. The code is yours — no lock-in, no "Powered by."

02

Make it yours

Connect your AI and talk: "swap in my photos," "change the name to Lupa," "rewrite the about page." It edits the real files and redeploys in seconds.

03

Point your domain

Keep the free URL forever, or put the site on your own domain when you're ready.
