+## Run Locally With Go
+

+Open `http://localhost:8080`.

+Optional custom port:

+```
+
+No build step is required. Go serves separate page routes plus the static CSS, JS, and assets. The frontend uses CDN Tailwind CSS, AOS, Lucide icons, Google Fonts, remote optimized photography images, and a local fallback image for failed media.
+
+## Replace Content Before Publishing
+
+- Replace Unsplash preview images with final Venus Photo Studio And Lab portfolio images under `assets/images/`.
+- Replace the placeholder canonical domain/path strategy with the final production domain if you want absolute SEO URLs.
+- The address, phone, hours, and reviews were based on public business listings and the supplied Google business details.
+- The contact form is UI-only. Connect it to Formspree, Netlify Forms, Google Forms, or a backend if submissions need to be stored.
