  • Create a custom plugin to display portfolio items for the client’s paintings. The plugin should have an admin options page that allows the user to choose how the portfolio is displayed.
  • The client would like the name of the painting and an image of the painting displayed for each portfolio post.
  • The client would like the paintings to be classified into three galleries.
  • The client would like an about page, and a contact form page. You can makeup a fake bio for the about page, include the author’s picture (site assets folder) on the about page.
