Introduction

The verdant-brand project aims to create a professional website for UA Present Hub, a handmade gift brand.

The focus is on a clean, modern design with easy navigation and high-quality images to appeal to the target audience.

System Overview

Signature Design Concept

The homepage of verdant-brand will feature an interactive "Gift Carousel" using framer-motion. Users will be greeted with a 3D carousel of rotating gift items that they can click to explore further. Each item will animate with a smooth transition, revealing detailed information and images. The carousel will be set against a dynamic watercolor background that subtly changes color based on the time of day, providing a fresh and engaging experience every visit. Hovering over items will trigger a gentle bounce effect, inviting users to interact and explore.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will employ a "parallax" interaction model to create a layered depth effect. As users scroll, decorative elements like watercolor splashes and floating gift icons will move at different speeds, enhancing the storytelling aspect of the brand. The main content will scroll naturally, ensuring a seamless user experience. Internal pages will adopt a "static" model to prioritize clarity and ease of navigation.
