A premium storefront for a luxury real estate portfolio, where the brief was explicitly about feel: the site had to look expensive.
The tension worth noting
Animation-rich and fast are usually opposing forces. Motion means JavaScript, JavaScript means main-thread work, and main-thread work means a worse Lighthouse score and a worse experience on the mid-range phones most people actually browse property on.
The build resolved that the boring way — animating only compositable properties, deferring anything below the fold, keeping the critical path small — and landed above 90 on Lighthouse performance with the motion intact.
It is a small project. It is on this list because it is a clean demonstration that "premium feel" and "actually fast" are not a trade you have to accept.
