What I built Toran a 5-page luxury editorial website for a heritage leather brand rooted in Rajasthan. It features a parallax arch gallery, glass-morphism navigation, scroll-reveal animations, a custom magnetic cursor, and a warm Material Design 3 color system. The goal was simple: make it feel alive.
How I used Stitch I started from scratch an idea in mid and, just a prompt. Stitch's streaming generation built each page directly to the canvas in real time. I refined sections using in-place AI edits, clicking exactly what I wanted to change and describing the fix. The QR Preview was my most-used feature scanning the live prototype on my phone after every iteration kept me grounded in how the site actually felt to use.

My feedback: QR Preview is the most underrated feature Stitch has it should be front and center in every demo. Streaming generation keeps you in flow state in a way no other tool does; watching the page build itself is genuinely exciting. One request: more control over typography tokens and the ability to lock elements before running in-place edits so you don't accidentally overwrite things you loved.
One more thing: I found out about this challenge 5 hours before the submission deadline. I sat up the entire night, building, iterating, and refining and honestly, I still feel like I could've pushed the edits further. There are hover states I wanted to polish, transitions I wanted to smooth out, and a mobile layout that deserved more love. But that's also kind of the point Stitch got me further in one night, starting from nothing, than I thought was possible. For an 18-year-old with a deadline and a dream, that means everything.
Highly creative work. The delivery is flawless.
Great work Samar - Make sure to include a link to the project in the comments here so it can be reviewed.
Thank you so much! I forgot to attach it because I only had a minute left for submission.
Wow, Samar, this is incredibly beautiful! Creating a 5-page luxury editorial site with a parallax arch gallery and glassmorphic navigation in just one night is an absolute feat, let alone for an 18-year-old. The heritage vibe fits a luxury Rajasthan brand perfectly.
Incredible...

Great designs @Samar Udawat , transitions. Warm theme to potray the tropic location resonates the colour of the tan coloured products seen in the product page.
You know, I believe app experience of a travel/ tour app must be a soothing and cool one, not a serious business dealing page...

When u realize, there are websites with crazy animation but simple web like this has more conversations rate
Week 1 of moving into web design - building my first portfolio piece.
For the project, I picked a fintech company that runs live auctions for debt portfolios, a marketplace where banks sell and investment funds bid in real time.
Its a genuinely interesting product, but their current website looks like it was generated with AI in one go, and it doesnt properly show what the product actually is and how it works.
So far I've researched the company and its market, written a brief, and started moodboarding.
Its still in progress, but I like where the direction is heading.
For a product that's hard to see, I'd be curious whether the hero could simply show the auction itself, a portfolio listed and bids coming in, instead of explaining it. Are your moodboard references leaning that way?
5 things that make a website look expensive (and none of them cost extra)
Most websites don't look cheap because of the budget. They look cheap because of a few small details.
After building sites with Next.js and Framer Motion, here are the 5 things I always get right:
Spacing, then more spacing
Cheap sites are cramped. Premium sites let content breathe. Doubling the padding between sections is the fastest upgrade you can make.
One typeface, used with confidence
Two fonts max. Big, bold headlines, quiet body text. The contrast does the work, not a dozen styles.
Motion with purpose
Elements that fade up as you scroll, buttons that respond on hover. Subtle and fast, under 0.6 seconds. If you notice the animation, it's too much.
A tight color palette
One main color, one accent, neutrals for everything else. Every extra color makes the site feel less sure of itself.
Speed
A site that loads instantly feels premium before anyone reads a word. Optimized images and a modern framework make the difference.
None of these need a big budget. They need someone who sweats the details.
That's exactly how I'm building 10 custom websites in 10 days, for $100 each. If you want one of the 10 spots, send me a message.
