"Lisogorka" is a personal portfolio website of Iryna Lisogor - a visual designer and illustrator. She needed a digital space to showcase her creative work while maintaining full control over content management.
The Challenge
Creating a personal web "space" for artists involves the following:
- showcasing work in the desired way
- ensuring easy content management for non-technical users
- keeping fast performance
- and providing admin capabilities for portfolio updates
The challenge was to build a solution that would be both visually appealing for visitors and practically manageable for daily use.
Solution & Features
Content Management System - Custom admin dashboard allows Iryna to easily add, edit, and organize her portfolio pieces. It supports rich text editing, image uploads, and project categorization.
Performance-First Architecture - SvelteKit brings optimal loading speeds and SEO resulting in perfect PageSpeed Insights score.
Responsive Design System - Developed a fluid typography system and responsive layouts using CUBE CSS methodology.
Secure Authentication - Integrated OAuth-based authentication through Supabase for secure admin access.
Technical Implementation
Frontend Architecture - Built with SvelteKit leveraging its App Router for optimal performance, SEO, and developer experience. TypeScript provides comprehensive type safety across the entire codebase, while vanilla CSS with fluid typography creates a maintainable and performant styling system.
Backend & Database - Integrated Supabase for PostgreSQL database management and authentication, with DrizzleORM providing type-safe database queries. Cloudinary handles image optimization and delivery.
