Signature Design Concept

The homepage of Rangla Punjab will feature an interactive "Golden Night" theme. As users scroll, they will experience a parallax effect where golden particles float across the screen, mimicking a luxurious night sky. The menu items will appear as constellations, with smooth transitions and animations powered by gsap for a seamless experience. Hovering over menu items will trigger subtle gold highlights, and clicking will expand the item into a detailed view with rich imagery and descriptions. This interactive experience will captivate users, making the website both memorable and engaging.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll. Decorative elements like golden particles will translate at different speeds, enhancing the luxurious feel. Internal pages such as the customer and admin dashboards will adopt a "static" model for clarity and ease of use.
