Template Details

Vernissage is a portfolio website theme for photographers, artists, and designers, built on the Astro static site generator, using Tailwind CSS for styling and PhotoSwipe for image browsing interactions. The theme originates from João Franco's photography portfolio project, and the author also maintains an Eleventy version with the same visual style (vernissage-11ty).

The repository README explicitly states that the theme is still a work in progress, and the author welcomes feature requests, pull requests, or users forking it to continue development. Therefore, it is better suited as a starting point and foundation for further development of a portfolio site, rather than a finalized product.

The code is released under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution; however, third-party assets such as images, fonts, and icons in the demo need separate license verification, and external services like domains and hosting may incur costs.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Astro as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.

# Vernissage – a photo-focused theme for Astro

A portfolio website theme for photographers, artists, and designers using the [Astro](https://astro.build) static site generator. The template is built upon on [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com) and [PhotoSwipe](https://photoswipe.com).

The theme is based on the [photography portfolio](https://github.com/JoaoFranco03/photography-portfolio) originally created by [João Franco](https://github.com/JoaoFranco03). I also created a template based on the same theme for Eleventy ([vernissage-11ty](https://github.com/ngdio/vernissage-11ty)).

This theme is a work in progress. Feel free to request features, send pull requests or take this project further in your own fork.
