Envira Gallery Portfolio?

[RavenManiac]

I don't like having a lot of plugins in my WordPress websites, because if you have enough of them one will eventually break your site. 🙂

So here's my idea, and I'm sure it's not unique. I'm thinking about using Envira Gallery (which I'm already using in most of my sites) to create a portfolio. Basically I would link each image to a WordPress page that I custom create. The linked page would provide additional details about the portfolio project, but would give me the flexibility to custom design the page for my specific needs or those of my clients. I think most portfolios use posts instead of pages, but I'm not sure that it matters. Instead of using taxonomies I would use the gallery tags feature within Envira Gallery.

Before I go down this path, does anyone see anything wrong with this approach? If you've done something similar, could you post a link so I can see how it works?

Thanks!

Okay, I just thought of a problem. What if one of the projects falls into two categories? I'm not sure the Envira Gallery plugin can accommodate that.
