Pink Triangle Portraits — Website Starter (Version 1)

This is a real static website starter, not just a screenshot. It is designed for GitHub + Cloudflare Pages + Pages CMS. It includes an editable content model, responsive layout, search, and generated individual portrait pages.

Preview locally

1. Install Python 3 and run pip install -r requirements.txt in this folder.
2. Run python scripts/build.py.
3. Run python -m http.server 8000 --directory dist.
4. Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser.

Do not open dist/index.html by double-clicking: the site uses root-relative paths and needs a local web server.

Publish to a NEW GitHub repository and Cloudflare Pages project

Do not replace Bry's existing site or the live Pink Triangle Portraits site.

• Create a new repository and upload the contents of this folder (including .pages.yml).
• Create a new Cloudflare Pages project connected to that repository.
• Build command: pip install -r requirements.txt && python scripts/build.py
• Output directory: dist
• Once published, connect that GitHub repository to Pages CMS and authorize it.
• Keep the temporary *.pages.dev URL until the replacement is approved.

Editing content

• content/portraits/*.md: one entry per portrait. The latest published portrait is featured automatically; checking Feature on homepage overrides this (latest checked portrait wins). Uncheck older ones if you want only one manual choice.
• content/pages/*.md: Project, History, Contact, Shop, and Artist pages. Markdown images can be inserted in the rich-text body.
• content/events/*.md: published events appear on the Exhibitions page. The nearest upcoming event appears on the homepage.
• assets/uploads/: user-uploaded images managed by Pages CMS.
• assets/images/: demonstration imagery and texture; replace with approved art and properly licensed images before launch.

Before launch

• Replace all Sample Portrait records with approved names, artwork, biographies, and sources.
• Review the History page for historical accuracy and source citations.
• Replace the sample hero portrait strip with Bry's chosen images or custom banner.
• Add the real Square shop link, social profiles, and a working contact form.
• Confirm image permissions and accessibility descriptions.
• Set the actual domain only after testing.

This starter intentionally does not invent historical biographies, event dates, shop URLs, or a contact form recipient.

Version 2 — Design controls and multiple artworks

Pages CMS now has People and biographies, Artwork and gallery order, and Site design and navigation. Each artwork references the filename slug of its person (e.g. sample-1), so multiple gallery artworks can link to one biography. Gallery order uses numeric display_order values; lower values appear first. Featured portrait uses the newest flagged artwork, otherwise newest published artwork. The homepage hero uses six newest artworks until hero_banner is uploaded in Site design.

IMPORTANT: This release changes content storage from content/portraits to content/people and content/artwork. Upload the full replacement files, including deletions of the old portrait sample files, to avoid duplicate entries. Do not upload ZIP itself. For reliable migration, use GitHub's web editor or a Git client; GitHub browser uploads alone do not remove old files.

Housekeeping reminder: Add the hidden .gitignore to GitHub later (the file is included in this ZIP).

CMS controls are settings fields, not a drag-and-drop designer. Editing settings commits to GitHub and triggers a Cloudflare build. To add a callout inside rich-text, use a blockquote.

Version 3 additions

• Pages CMS → Site design and navigation: choose the painted background, enable or disable it for events and interior page headers, customize brush accents, change the navigation rule, manage social profile links, and upload a favicon.
• The included artwork-style background is /assets/images/painted-background.jpg and can be replaced using Pages CMS.
• Instagram and Bluesky icons appear in the navigation and footer. TikTok is optional; add its URL when ready.
• The painted background and brush accents are deliberately selective; text-heavy sections remain clean.
• Reminder: keep both hidden root files .pages.yml and .gitignore in GitHub. GitHub's browser upload may omit hidden files; add them manually if necessary.
• Keep the current pinktriangleportraits.com domain unchanged until the new site is approved.
