MLG Images
A fine-art photography portfolio and print shop, run from its own console.
About
Michael Girdwood's photography: galleries, prints to order and digital downloads, and a console to upload, caption and sell from.
Built without a database: photographs, orders and settings are files, which keeps it fast and simple to back up.

- Print and download shop with Stripe Checkout.
- Mailing list with one-click unsubscribe.
- Posts new work to social media automatically.
Security statement
- Prices always set on the server; Stripe webhooks verified.
- Admin sign-in with a scrypt-hashed password and a signed session; sign-in rate-limited; fail2ban.
