• Headless CMS with WordPress: Leverages WordPress as a powerful backend for content management while maintaining full control over the frontend presentation.
• GraphQL Integration: Utilizes GraphQL to fetch precise data, minimizing API overhead and ensuring fast page load times.
• Original UI/UX Design: Every visual element and layout was designed from scratch, focusing on a minimalist and intuitive aesthetic.
• Dynamic Interactive Motion: Features sophisticated transitions and scroll-based animations that enhance user engagement and provide a premium feel.

The most challenging aspect was implementing complex and natural-feeling animations across the site. As this was my first time using Framer Motion, I initially struggled with orchestrating multiple animation sequences—such as page transitions and entrance effects—while maintaining optimal performance. Synchronizing the data fetching from the CMS with the animation timing required a deep understanding of component lifecycles.

To overcome these challenges, I took the following approaches:

1. Deep Dive into Framed Motion: I studied Framer Motion’s "variants" and "AnimatePresence" features to manage complex animation states efficiently, ensuring that components mounted and unmounted smoothly.
2. GraphQL Optimization: To prevent lag during transitions, I optimized data queries using GraphQL to retrieve only the necessary fields, significantly reducing the payload and keeping the frame rate stable.
3. Design-to-Code Workflow: Since I handled the design myself, I prototyped layouts with motion in mind. This allowed me to simplify the code logic by making design decisions that were both visually striking and technically feasible to animate.
