Magdalena Vlastelica
Magdalena Vlastelica paints Tuscan landscapes, rooftops, doors and windows, often on several canvases that together make up one painting. Her website is a single page that puts the paintings first. We carried over 69 works from the old site, and she now adds new ones herself, from an admin panel on her phone.

Paintings before anything else
Magdalena Vlastelica is a painter from Čačak with a master's degree in painting. The page follows the order in which a visitor gets to know a painter: the name and one large painting, then the works, biography, exhibitions and contact. The menu leads to those four sections, and on a phone it sits behind the “Menu” button.
The intro features her polyptych “Journey to Tuscany in Four Parts”. When the page opens, the four canvases line up side by side, the way a painting is hung on a wall. That motion is written in CSS, so it does not wait for any script.

A gallery of 84 works
Works are filtered by subject: Tuscany, doors and windows, rooftops, miniatures, Prague and multi-part paintings. Each work shows its title, dimensions and medium, where known. A click opens an enlarged view with its own URL, so a single painting can be shared as a link.
Every photo exists in several widths, in AVIF and WebP, so a phone does not download an image made for a large monitor. On a phone, the first 24 works are shown, and the rest appear with the “Show more works” button. Mobile PageSpeed was 100 on November 6, 2026, and the W3C validator and axe found no errors.

Biography and exhibitions
The biography and the list of exhibitions were carried over from the old site and laid out clearly: birth, her undergraduate and master's degrees from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, membership in ULUS and the Union of Visual Artists of the Czech Republic, then solo and group exhibitions by year.
The structured data describes the page as the artist's profile: education, memberships and every work as an artwork with a title and image, all 84 of them. Old image URLs from the previous site lead to the new ones through permanent redirects.

An admin panel on the phone
Magdalena adds works herself, from an admin panel built for the phone. She picks a photo, enters the title, dimensions and group, and the site creates smaller versions of the image on its own. She can move a work to the top, hide it from the site for a while and bring it back, or delete it.
Logging in requires a password, and after several failed attempts the login is locked for a while. Messages from the contact form go to her email. The site runs on PHP with an SQLite database, without WordPress, on our server, and the domain stayed in her name.

On a phone
The same site, in your hand.
Most visitors come from phones, so the layout, buttons and images are arranged for the small screen first.
Questions
What clients ask.
Can the painter add a new painting herself?
Yes. In the admin panel on her phone, she picks a photo, enters the title, dimensions and group, and the site creates smaller versions for phones and computers on its own. She can also reorder works, hide them for a while or delete them.
What happened to the works from the old site?
We carried over 69 works with their original photos, and the old image URLs lead to the new ones through permanent redirects. The gallery now has 84 works.
Why is everything on one page?
Visitors come to see the paintings and find out who painted them. The works, biography, exhibitions and contact fit on one page, and the menu takes you straight to each section.
