Interactive Business Command Center
The landing page of Business Pulse will feature an interactive business command center. Users will see a dynamic dashboard that updates in real-time as they connect their data sources. The dashboard will feature animated KPI cards that flip to reveal more detailed insights when hovered over. The central feature will be a rotating 3D globe representing the business's global reach, with data points lighting up as they are updated. This will be built using @react-three/fiber for 3D interactions and gsap for smooth animations.
Landing Hero Motion Brief
The hero section will feature a continuously moving 2D composition built with motion/react. The animation will depict a business owner's desk with papers and devices that update with data visualizations. As the animation progresses, the papers will transform into a single, consolidated report, emphasizing the tagline "Your Business. One Report. Every Night." The loop will last 10 seconds, with subtle interactions allowing users to click on elements for more information.
8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction
- Intended Interaction Model: Animated
- The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions. KPI cards will have spring physics for interactive elements, providing a polished experience. Internal pages will maintain a static layout for clarity.
