Savage Nation: NFT World with Next.js

Project Overview

Savage Nation is an NFT-world platform built on Next.js, designed to deliver a visually rich, highly interactive experience for collectors and community members. The project required a bold, flashy interface with smooth animations, fast performance, and pixel-perfect UI across all devices.

My Role & Approach

I worked as the Frontend Developer, responsible for building an immersive, high-quality user interface that captured the energy and style of the NFT brand.
My approach focused on:
Developing highly responsive, pixel-perfect layouts
Implementing flashy UI elements and smooth animations
Ensuring strong performance despite heavy visuals
Creating dynamic, modular pages using Next.js
Delivering a polished, seamless user journey
I handled the frontend build — structure, interaction flows, animations, and optimization.

Technical Stack

Framework & Rendering:
Next.js (SSR, dynamic routing, nested page rendering)
UI & Interactivity:
TailwindCSS for layout and styling
Framer Motion for transitions, hover states, parallax-style movement, and micro-interactions
Performance & Optimization:
Optimized gradients, blurs, and high-contrast visuals
Reduced layout shift and improved scroll performance
Responsive scaling across all breakpoints
Deployment:
Production-ready build on Vercel

Challenges I Solved

Optimized complex gradients, blurs, and layered visual effects while maintaining smooth performance.
Recreated unique, custom layouts using CSS, matching detailed design references with precision.
Synced vertical and horizontal scroll interactions, ensuring smooth multi-direction scrolling experiences.
Handled nested dynamic pages and ensured content versions were synced across the interface.
Improved render performance by reducing re-renders and optimizing animation triggers.

What I Learned

This project strengthened my ability to:
Build flashy, animation-heavy Next.js websites without compromising speed
Achieve pixel-perfect UI fidelity across screens
Solve complex UI/UX engineering challenges involving scroll, motion, and rendering
Handle dynamic content and nested pages in Next.js
Balance creative animations with performance considerations
harpened my skills in creating visually stunning and highly interactive interfaces — perfect for clients who want their brand to stand out.
