Interactive Gouda Map with Dynamic Highlights

The homepage will feature a large interactive map of Gouda as its centerpiece. The map will dynamically highlight key locations such as cafes, restaurants, hidden gems, and cultural landmarks.

• Zoom and Pan: Users can zoom in and pan across the map for detailed exploration.
• Color-coded Pins: Each category will have distinct pin colors (e.g., coral for cafes, blue for museums).

Additional Elements:

• Upcoming Events Section: Below the map, a vibrant carousel will showcase upcoming events with bold visuals and clickable links for more details.
• Micro-interactions: Smooth transitions and animations will make the page feel alive, such as pins bouncing slightly when clicked or event cards flipping to reveal details.

This design concept ensures the landing page is visually striking, highly interactive, and memorable for visitors.
