What was going wrong
A motion-design studio is judged on how its work looks the moment it loads. The studio needed a portfolio that did the reels justice: fast, clean, and theirs. Not a rented template on someone else's account that they would have to move off later.
What I did
A build, then a handoff. I designed and built the site to show the motion work at full quality, then handed over the whole thing: code, hosting, all of it.
No lock-in, and no monthly tether to me. The client owns it outright and can run it, extend it, or hand it to another team without asking anyone.
What changed
Delivered, and live as the studio's public portfolio, fully owned by the client.
This is the clean version of a project: build it well, hand it over, and leave the client independent. Not every engagement should turn into a retainer, and this one was right to end at the handoff.
What's next
Nothing from me, by design. The client runs it. If you want a site built well and then handed to you, that is a shape I am happy to work in. Tell me what you need.
