Projects using CSS3 in HoustonProjects using CSS3 in HoustonRia Braids Studio — Luxury Brand Website
A fully responsive, motion-designed website built for Ria Braids Studio, a braiding salon serving Royse City and Dallas, Texas. The brief called for a luxury aesthetic that matched the brand's existing visual identity — warm rose, coral, and gold tones extracted directly from the client's logo and marketing materials.
Key features: Fixed glassmorphism navigation with mobile hamburger menu, animated hero section with twinkling star field and rotating SVG badge, scroll-triggered reveal animations throughout, service cards with hover micro-interactions, three-tier pricing layout, a step-by-step booking flow, and a contact form that pre-populates and opens WhatsApp for instant client communication.
Design approach: Paired Cormorant Garamond (luxury display) with DM Sans (clean body copy) to balance old-world elegance with modern readability. Custom SVG braid-pattern dividers echo the brand's craft. All motion respects prefers-reduced-motion for accessibility.
Tech: Vanilla HTML, CSS, JavaScript — no frameworks, no dependencies. Fully self-contained single file. Designed and developed a full single-page marketing website for Elite Barbers, a 4.9-star rated barbershop located in Bloomsbury, London. The site was built from scratch with a premium dark-and-gold aesthetic to match the brand's upscale positioning.
