Pagespeed scores don’t mean everything…
…but hitting a high score still feels very good 😅
Here’s why I actually cared about performance on this project:
I’m building a site for hikers on the edge of a forest.
Which means: spotty connection and slow loading
Having a site run fast isn’t optional here, it is the difference between people seeing your brand or literately walking past it.
This is my first real project so I wanted it to feel right.
I went a bit deeper and did some very advanced demographic research:
I looked out the window 👀
Most people hiking here are a bit older.
What that meant in practice:
– bigger, clearer text
– simple layouts without much movement
– fewer heavy elements
I removed a lot of “cool” things and honestly… it made the site better.
Desktop still gets the fun stuff.
I didn’t do anything crazy.
No custom code.
No over-engineering.
Just a few targeted decisions based on the audience.
Great Idea
This is seriously impressive work. The attention to detail and level of execution stand out immediately. You’ve set a high standard here, well done.
Great job 👌
Great stuff!!
Was a fun exercise
Hey Maxime, this is beautiful, congrats! It's crazy that you were able to hit those numbers with a custom site like that!
Thanks. knowing how performance works in Framer does help a lot.

How do you make a landing page feel like a product — not a pitch deck?
For UNUS, we designed a landing page concept built around clean structure and premium visual storytelling.
The core of the experience is a set of 3D animated cards and icons, designed to communicate value instantly — with depth, clarity, and a strong product feel.
Instead of overloading the page with text, we used motion and hierarchy to guide attention naturally: sharp sections, controlled spacing, and visuals that actually support the message.
Built to feel modern, confident, and conversion-ready.
Created via our design subscription.

I am really loving this.
