Pinwheel

Pinwheel is a colourful portfolio for a freelance graphic or brand designer. Two working tools answer what every client asks. Slots shows which months are open, nearly full, booked or away. Start Brief lets a visitor tick deliverables and see a starting price and timeline. Click an open month and the brief opens for that month; the picked brief goes out with the contact form.

Pages

• Home: intro with local time, Slots, featured work, service cards that open a pre-ticked brief

• Work: colour cards with discipline filter chips

• Project page (CMS): facts row, cover, ask / made / changed story, gallery, "Want one like this?" button, next-project card

• About: process steps, brands, Slots

• Start a brief: Start Brief plus a form with a brief summary

• 404, tablet and phone layouts, SEO

Components

• Slots: 3–12 months, Open / Spots left / Booked / Away, open months link to the brief

• Start Brief: from-prices, weeks, optional Rush, running total; the choice is kept in the page link

• Brief Summary: sends the brief as hidden form fields

• Filter chips, logo mark, LocalTime, CopyEmail

Good to know

• Prices and durations are set in Start Brief's controls, not the CMS. The total is a starting price, not a quote.

• The schedule is set by hand in the Slots controls (and in Start Brief). It doesn't sync with a calendar.

• The brief arrives as hidden form fields. Check that your form destination shows them.

• The filter chips are a code component that reads the Work grid by layer name.

• Gallery boards 3 and 4 are generated colour blocks, placeholders for your work.

• The studio and clients are made up. Photos are from Unsplash.
