  Animations + Cleanup + New Nav

  • Redid homepage and work intro animations
  • Cleaned up some CSS - less CSS is the best CSS
  • Added in more subtle interactions here and there.
  • New navigation design implemented along with interactions.
  • All Herokid type now. Armin Grotesk was nice but did not offer so much value to have two typefaces. Love ya Armin, but bye.

  After much consideration...

  I am a mess lol - but I have decided I cannot move forward with Framer. I am going to be sticking with Webflow. With that said there has still been massive progress:

  1. Phase 2 Design for the homepage has been implemented.
  2. Bolstered and developed visual branding better.
  3. Tweaked copy
  4. Building an interactive hero section.
  5. Implemented variable font for use on the site, and implementing into our brand typography.
  6. Currently working out a morphing action of the bento boxes so essentially the website is a one pager for Info, Work, Hire Us

  
  More to come!

  2. Lots of experimenting with components and fit text
  3. Navigated a lot of learning curve type stuff
  4. Components are so powerful and spurring ways to think about interactions 
  5. Variables in components is a game changer
  6. Set up responsive breakpoints
  7. Got basics completed and compinentized

  Switching to Framer

  I have decided to migrate to Framer. As robust as Webflow? No way. But it has an arc that I beleive in and functionality that is super dope that Webflow does not have. 
  
  Also as an added bonus: saving money.

  Updated 3D Images

  Using the MAGICAL Magnific AI to upscale and add incredible details to the existing generations that I have on the site. Then using Webflows webp conversion: big magic, small footprint.
