Front-end performance work for a niche hobby site is a fun challenge. Mobile layout + max page speeds for 3D model browsing is no joke. What was the biggest bottleneck you had to solve?
Thanks Rafee!
The absolute biggest bottleneck was image payload overhead and layout shifts (CLS) caused by dynamically loading 3D render preview cards.
I solved it by hard-coding explicit aspect-ratio container blocks and stripping out layout bloat to keep the initial mobile render path lightning-fast.

You only get to keep one. Which stays?
The circular layout has a bit of playfulness to it. The landscape gives you a much bigger sense of place.
I can see a case for both. Curious where you land.

I'd keep the landscape one honestly, that sense of scale feels right for anything talking about sustainability at an industry level. Did the client push back on the crop at all, or were they on board with circular from the start?
Hot take: hair growth products don't have to look like medicine to work like it.
Most brands in this category go clinical white and blue, it reads safe, but it also reads like something you'd hide in a drawer, not something you'd want visible on your sink. For Maneup Labs, I went almost fully black instead.
That was a real risk. In a category this saturated with sterile, pharmacy-white packaging, going dark could just as easily read cold, or get lost next to competitors leaning into "clean = trustworthy." But it did the opposite: next to every clinical-looking bottle on the shelf, black reads premium, not medicinal, closer to what you'd expect from a grooming or fragrance brand than a hair-loss aisle.
That's the audience shift the whole rebrand was built around, not the guy who wants to feel like he's medicating something, but the guy who wants a product that looks like it belongs on his counter.
Would a bottle like this make it out of your bathroom cabinet and onto your sink?
Looks amazing! 💙
