The site’s opening, recorded live

02 The project

A one-page website for a car repair company in St Albans, built around a scroll-driven scene: a light reveals the car, a scan line turns it to wireframe, the engine opens into its groups and the parts land in the service cards.

  • Scroll-driven 2.5D scene
  • Layers registered with OpenCV
  • Vite

03 The direction

Composition
The car fills the whole scene; the text sits in a narrow column, never competing with the machine.
Typography
Heavy uppercase Inter Tight for headings and JetBrains Mono for technical labels.
Colour
Black, silver and a single red, with a cold blue kept for the scan line.
Central gesture
A scan line crosses the bodywork and reveals the mechanics.

05 The motion

  1. 01 Car
  2. 02 Scan
  3. 03 Engine

Light reveals the car; the scan line sweeps the bodywork and shows the structure; the engine separates into groups and the parts slot into the service cards.
