I'm currently building the official site for my animated film studio, The Iron Gate. I'm designing it to feel like a real independent film house — dark, editorial, cinematic, like A24 — not the typical AI template look everyone is using now. I'm focused on handcrafted typography, film grain, and storytelling rather than just layouts. It's live as a single-file build in HTML/CSS so it's super fast even on low data here in Nigeria."

Just wrapped up a new redesign, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. 💻
Can’t wait to share more details and the live site soon...
Sitting on this before the reveal instead of rushing to post it says you're already happy with how it landed, so now I'm curious what part of the redesign you're most excited for people to see once the site goes live.
Light or dark—which Kajabi library would you choose?
Two concepts for Northstar Lab, a fictional creative education brand. Same courses, two ways to browse:
A — Light Editorial: warm tones, serif type, and sidebar filters.
B — Dark Studio: charcoal, chartreuse accents, and compact dropdown filters.
Which would you rather learn in—and why?

Clean and professional. I prefer the light editorial style.
New tool Friday
A motion tool where every preset is a technique I'd normally charge for. (made by me)
Design taste isn't scarce because it has to be — it's scarce because most of us don't share the how.
Building > gatekeeping.
nice work
