7. Signature Design Concept

The SportsLife homepage will feature an interactive sports venue map. Users can click on different venue icons to view details, availability, and make bookings. The map will be dynamic, with venues lighting up as users hover over them, providing a lively and engaging experience. This will be implemented using motion/react for smooth animations and transitions.

LANDING HERO MOTION BRIEF

The landing page will showcase a dynamic illustration of a sports venue transforming from an empty field to a bustling sports event. Users will see athletes warming up, spectators filling the stands, and the venue coming to life. This animation will loop every 10 seconds, providing a continuous narrative of the venue's transformation. The animation will be built using CSS and motion/react to ensure smooth transitions and interactions.

8. Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Intended Interaction Model: Animated
  • The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions to enhance user engagement.
  • Interactive elements will have spring physics for a polished feel.

9. Non-Functional Requirements

• The platform must support high concurrency to handle multiple users and venue owners simultaneously.
• Payment processing must be secure and comply with local regulations.
• The platform should be optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.

10. Tech Stack
