Signature Design Concept

The homepage of golden-bot will feature an interactive "Product Carousel" that allows users to scroll through featured products in a 3D rotating display. Each product card will flip to reveal details when hovered over, using framer-motion for smooth animations. The carousel will be set against a dynamic background that changes color based on the time of day, providing a fresh and engaging user experience.
