Let’s first define the templates and design them

Path split: One pager like we have VS multi page with preview on main page (def better for more materials)

Then options on how to display:

bio page
Images - gallery full width, gallery with captions, slider gallery, masonry without captions,
videos - gallery thumbs to click and open, full screen thumbs, actual player embed, or gallery player embed (?)
audio - single track with images side by side, artist meta, in list format, gallery format, etc

short term, we're looking at 2 single-page templates:

"Artist" pages (single-page profiles like we have now)
"Collection" pages (ability to link other collections and get a sidebar like we have on the landing page)

This would give the ability to display content for our current use cases in a structured manner.

Subpages are more involved as they require a change in how we think about/structure pages from the technical end. Probably outside the scope of this issue (see #99)

has the 'collection' page template been drafted? I see there is a radio toggle between collection formats on the portal edit page. once I click the first one, the second one is not clickable. let's discuss subpages elsewhere. without subpages, the options on how to display the content will be an action item

It's currently greyed out because the template in the renderer is hardcoded. this issue is for selecting the template to render with dynamically based on which one of those radio buttons has been pressed. (they are disabled as they don't do anything yet)
