Page transitions on Heron are treated as view changes rather than document loads. Motion exits one page and continues into the next, with no hard reset and no white flash between states.
The reasoning is product-led. Heron runs inside Revit, Rhino, ArchiCAD and SketchUp, where switching context means panels updating around a drawing that stays put. A site built to sell that experience shouldn't behave like a set of separate files.
The transition also gives us somewhere to hide load time, which keeps the heavier interactive sections feeling immediate on slower connections.
The brief was simple. Show a new personalized news feature.
The obvious solution was to show a few clicks in the UI as you choose your topics. Clear, but not very interesting.
So I pulled that moment out of the interface first and turned it into a cloud of topics. You get the idea before you even see the product, then the video drops you back into the real UI and shows where it lives.
I really like these tiny decisions. The feature stays the same, but it feels easier to get and a lot more fun to watch.
I’m especially happy about this because working on this template was a creative outlet for me.
I wanted to build something useful for a business: a website that covers what a studio needs when it opens, from an easy-to-use schedule to clearly structured class information, with a solid foundation for SEO.
At the same time, I wanted it to feel beautiful. To bring a sense of movement, lightness, and the joy of taking a class into the design. To capture that friendly atmosphere that makes you want to walk into a studio and give it a try.
Huge congrats on getting featured! 🤍 MOVVA looks stunning - love the mindful movement vibe and that hero image. Super useful concept for studios. Well deserved feature!
