## Description

Minimal Gallery Page is a **simple and minimal WordPress gallery plugin** built 
for users who want a clean, fast, and distraction-free way to display images.

Instead of relying on shortcodes or page builders, the plugin creates a **custom
post type gallery** that integrates naturally into WordPress. Each gallery automatically
gets its own **single page gallery view**, along with a generated **gallery archive
page** that lists all galleries.

This plugin is ideal if you’re looking for a **really simple gallery**, a **minimal
gallery plugin**, or a lightweight **custom post type based image gallery** without
unnecessary features or visual clutter.

Galleries are easy to manage from the WordPress admin using a familiar drag-and-
drop image interface. On the frontend, galleries are displayed using responsive,
optimized layouts that work seamlessly on desktop and mobile devices.

Minimal Gallery Page is perfect for portfolios, photography websites, and anyone
who wants a **single page gallery** for each collection of images – clean, fast,
and easy to maintain.
