Cutwave is a premium festival & event website theme built with Astro 6. It ships as a static frontend — no CMS or payment provider locked in — so agencies and freelancers can brand it, connect their own stack, and deploy anywhere.
The visual language is a high-energy collage / scrapbook system: rotated cutouts, sticker CTAs, expressive display type, cream card sections, and intentional home-page motion (GSAP + Lenis).
Who it’s for
Festival, rave, conference, and cultural-event organizers
Agencies building one-off event microsites for clients
Freelancers who need a distinctive Astro starter that isn’t another SaaS landing page

Love the playful visuals and bold typography! The ticket builder looks easy to use too. Nice balance between a fun festival vibe and a practical booking experience.
"Capturing light, emotion, and the moments you never want to forget." That line set the tone, and the layout follows it.
The hero is one motion-blurred portrait washed in red. The photographer's name runs across the bottom in a condensed white face, so large the screen cuts it off. The photo keeps its soft focus, and the name still reads first.
Thin grid lines split the page into narrow columns, and the small copy sits justified inside them. The loose photo gets a strict structure to lean on.
A single round red button with an arrow sits right on the letters and marks where to go next.
The heavy condensed white FLORENCE over the red portrait is bold, and keeping the same red across phone, laptop and type tile makes the case study read as one system. Did the red come from the photographer's own work, or was it your call?
One page with brand, web and product UI together is a strong move. Clients see the range without clicking around. Rebuilding mine with AI coding tools taught me the same thing: the speed lets you spend the saved time on the case study writing, which is what actually wins work.
A website hero and motion identity concept for Cycle.
The experience takes the viewer through seven historical eras in one continuous forward journey, while the logo, camera path and core composition remain consistent.
The concept explores how a static identity can become a living digital experience through motion, environment and interaction.
Workflow included Spline, Claude via MCP, Midjourney and SeaDance.
Available for brand identity, motion and digital design projects.
