I spent a night rebuilding how a website feels, as a tribute to Steve Jobs.

I came across the Daddy Yankee site by Yes Chef Studio and couldn’t stop scrolling. The type was huge, the year counter rolled like a mechanical dial, and the edges between sections jittered like they were hand-drawn. So I studied exactly how it moves: the timing, the easing, the order things show up in.

Then I made my own version of that feel for someone whose story actually fits it: the garage, getting fired, the comeback.

What’s in it: • A hero where 12,000 floating pixels form Steve on stage, move away from your cursor and drift off as you scroll • Photos shown in the black-and-white dot style the 1984 Mac used, turning into the real photo as you scroll • A year counter that rolls through 1955 → 2011 as you read • A calligraphy-pen spiral around “Macintosh 1984”, a nod to the class he audited after dropping out • A wall where you can pin a sticky note, like the ones people left on Apple Store windows in 2011

Every photo is public domain or Creative Commons and credited on the site. All the writing is original. It’s a personal tribute, with no connection to Apple.

The thing I care about most is how a site feels in the hand. The animation should explain the story, not just decorate it.

If you have a launch, a portfolio or a brand story that deserves this kind of care, message me. I’d love to hear what you’re building.
