Aurelia
Mediterranean Hotel · Independent Concept Project
Aurelia is an independent hotel website concept inspired by the atmosphere, architecture, and slower rhythm of the Mediterranean.
The project explores how a hospitality website can communicate a sense of place while making practical information — rooms, experiences, and the next step toward booking — easy to discover.
The Approach
The experience was built around three priorities:
Sense of Place
Use imagery, typography, composition, and motion to establish Aurelia's Mediterranean character before the visitor begins exploring.
Editorial Storytelling
Present the hotel, rooms, surroundings, and experiences through an immersive visual hierarchy inspired by luxury hospitality websites.
Clear Journey
Keep navigation and calls to action intuitive so the visual experience supports the practical needs of a hotel website.
My Role
I handled the visual direction, website design, responsive interface design, interaction design, and front-end development.
What I Built
Responsive hotel website structure
Hospitality-focused visual direction
Room and experience presentation
Responsive desktop and mobile layouts
Interactive navigation
Motion and micro-interactions
Front-end implementation
Result
The finished concept combines Mediterranean atmosphere with a structured digital experience, demonstrating how a hospitality brand can use its website to communicate destination, character, and experience while keeping the user journey clear.

My feed on X is full of impressive motion videos made with Claude, so I decided to try Opus 5.5 for the FTCG project. I asked it to create a dynamic video inspired by the FTCG game. The initial prompt was incredibly simple, and it took only an hour or two of experimentation to refine the result and add sound as the finishing touch. Not bad at all.
Great work
Hi Contra Community! I'm new here, what do you think about this design? I'll love to have your feedback.
Welcome to the Contra Community Juan!
I can’t stop obsessing over details
Some might call these designs boring.
Fair enough.
They’re not gimmicky.
...and I’m not adding things just to make the page look busier.
I care more about whether people understand your offer and have a reason to choose you.

Not just a better-looking website.
Is your website getting traffic, but not enough enquiries?
