Taste Test
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?👇

I like both, but would go with the pill because of the functionality on Mac, it would be better than the notch.
This started as a fully AI-generated website, but with a designer's eye and attention to detail, it became something far more refined.
Sometimes AI gives you a solid starting point, but the real magic is in the craftsmanship.
Which version do you prefer?

Sharing something I'm working on right now.
Two directions for the same screen. One keeps everything in a focused card – the button and the conditions right where you look. The other turns the whole screen into the place: more atmosphere, less interface.
Which one feels easier to use? And if the prettier one isn't the easier one for you, tell me in the comments – that's the part I'm stuck on.

Both of looks clean and well thought out. How long did it take you to bring everything together?
