⚡ Create Paradise Now: Sub-Second Quiet Luxury Web Architecture
Why I hand-coded this as a zero-dependency HTML5/CSS3 architecture instead of using Webflow or WordPress:
Most modern landing pages are 15MB digital cemeteries — bogged down by 40+ plugins, tracking bloat, and 4-second load times that destroy mobile conversions.

Loving the direction
Solid layout, Miguel! The contrast between the clean typography and those interactive bento-style cards is crisp. Building this layout with smooth CSS grid transitions or GSAP pin scrolling would make the UX feel incredibly interactive.
The Client: Alumo is a student impact fund that pools collective influence from influencers and partner schools to deliver a $250,000 annual grant program for student-led projects across Canada.
The Issue: The fund needed a website that could communicate trust and purpose to two very different audiences — students applying for grants and partner schools or influencers considering joining — while also showcasing past winners and guiding applicants through the process clearly.
The Solution: A multi-page website was designed with a warm, approachable visual identity using earthy tones, generous imagery, and clear information hierarchy. Each section — About, Past Winners, and How to Apply — was structured to reduce friction and build confidence, making it easy for students to understand eligibility and take action before the deadline.
Love how you're tackling trust + purpose for a $250K fund - that's a tough balance with two audiences. Communicating credibility for a student-led initiative across Canada is huge. Would love to see how you solved it!
