I built a website where the only interaction is waiting.
No buttons. No scroll. No clicks. You just stay. The longer you stay, the more it reveals — poetry, meaning, beauty. And then it all disappears. Because nothing is permanent. Not even the things you earned by being patient.
Your cursor becomes a flashlight into the past — briefly illuminating what was there. But you can never see the whole thing again.
Still Here — built for the Figma Makeathon.
A screen that asks for nothing but your presence.

Fascinating exploration of passive interaction. Interesting how removing control shifts the experience from navigation to contemplation.
Thank you! That's exactly the shift I was going for. Every interface assumes the user needs to act, I wanted to see what happens when the screen does the work and the user just has to be present.
Turns out removing control doesn't remove engagement, it just changes what engagement means
That’s a beautiful insight — engagement as presence rather than action. It’s interesting how most interfaces equate interaction with productivity.
This feels less like a website and more like an experience. Designing interaction around patience instead of action is such a powerful inversion of modern digital behavior.
Really appreciate that. 'Less like a website, more like an experience' is exactly what I was aiming for. The web has so much untapped potential beyond just serving content, it can make you feel something if you design for presence instead of productivity.
This is giving me existential dread (am I waiting for Godot?) yet it's so therapeutic at the same time. Love this experience. :D
Hahaha love the Godot reference 🤣 Dread and therapy in the same tab is exactly the vibe I was going for. Thanks! :D
I definitely don't have the attention span for this 🤣
Trust me neither do I 😄 but honestly that's the whole point, none of us do anymore. That's what made it interesting to build
what was the thought process for this this is really cool
Thanks!
I wanted to explore the interaction experience that is totally opposite of conventional interactions that we all know.
The thought process started with a question: what if a website didn't want anything from you? Every screen we use today is designed to make us act....

How do you explore ideas without fully committing to building them? 👀
I used Figma Make to quickly generate a website layout and then test two different color directions on top of it.
For early exploration, having a solid base to experiment on makes conversations much clearer and helps move decisions forward.
If you’ve been curious about Figma Make, this could be a simple way to bring it into your process. 🙌
Just started my Figma course early this year, and whenever I see exciting projects like this, it just keeps me motivated 🙌.
Good design isn’t decoration — it’s communication.
I focus on clear layouts, thoughtful UX, and subtle motion that makes products feel premium without trying too hard.
Currently taking on new UI/UX projects 🚀
The "The Perfect Home" hero is stunning, that mountain backdrop combined with the interior mockup preview is a great way to sell the experience.
Found some old design work from the archive 🔓 I design so many things over time I lose track of what I've even done sometimes lol
What do you think?
Really nice visual direction — the contrast + atmosphere feel very polished.
From a UX perspective, I especially like how the onboarding screen feels calm instead of “system heavy”. Curious — was the goal more emotional branding or conversion optimization?
