EXAMPLE SITE / Independent design and front-end development
Ines Kerrowe — a site for a designer-developer
A personal site for an independent designer who builds what she designs, where the craft is visible if you look for it.
Ines Kerrowe — designer-developer portfolioPersonal portfolio with case studies
How it looks
A dark, single-lamp direction with an elegant serif; a headline that reveals its own construction; an index that behaves like a good archive; case studies told as chapters that end in a working piece of each client's interface; and an enquiry that asks the right four questions.
Who it suits
A complete fictional portfolio: filterable work, three case studies with running components, a process and about story, and a validated enquiry with confirmation. No real clients, results or messages.
LOOK AND FEEL
Mood, color and pages.

Pages included
- A home page whose headline hides its own construction: a cursor-following lamp and a site-wide Construction switch that shows grid, glyph boxes and type specs.
- A work index with discipline filters and live counts, list and grid views, a trailing image preview, and short notes that open in place.
- Three cinematic case studies with a chapter rail (brief, constraint, process, build, outcome), each ending in a working component: a night-mode sky planner, a seed-lending counter and a type tester with a licence calculator.
- A 'Work with me' enquiry with project type, start, budget and up to three links, plain-language validation with an error summary, and a confirmation with a reference and next steps.
DESIGN CHOICES
Three choices that shape the site.
Construction lamp
A lamp follows the cursor over the headline and reveals how it is built, glyph boxes, grid and type specs; a switch shows all of it for touch, keyboard and reduced motion.
Working case studies
Each case study is a sequence of chapters that ends in a running piece of the client's interface: a red-light night mode, a lending counter, a type tester.
Qualified enquiry
One enquiry form that asks what a freelancer needs to reply well, project type, start, budget and links, validates in plain words and confirms with a reference.
