Love this... can't go wrong with good use of blue in a design. 👏
Static or video? The hero section decides in three seconds. Same layout, same headline, same colors. Only the background changes.
01 Static. Loads instantly. Keeps the focus on typography. Nothing competes with the message.
02 Video. Sells the atmosphere before a single word is read. You don't read about the retreat, you're already there.
The trade-off is real: video costs loading time and can pull attention away from the CTA. Static is safer, but safer isn't always stronger.
For a wellness brand built on atmosphere, which one would you pick: 01 or 02?👇

The masking tape, polaroid reveal effect, almost as if it's developing in your hand, are a small piece of that. 📸

The masking tape and polaroid reveal is what carries the human feel here. I find one tactile motif held consistently reads as far more intentional than stacking several effects. Nicely restrained.
