A detailed case study of building a creative culture capsule website for Better Off® Studio. The project features multiple content views (timeline, surf, index), complex GSAP-powered page transitions with image flip animations, CSS 3D perspective layouts, and a custom music player. Built with Nuxt 3 for static generation, DatoCMS via GraphQL for content, Tailwind CSS and SCSS for styling, and Pinia for state management, deployed on Netlify. Key engineering challenges included viewport-aware animations, performance optimization for content-heavy pages, mobile-specific adaptations, and contextual transitions between different view modes.
