Agency — Software / Dev Shop Landing
A dark, engineering-grade landing page for Northbyte, a fictional software and product studio, built on a near-black canvas with a mono-lime accent, slate highlights, and a Space Grotesk and JetBrains Mono pairing. The hero pairs a strong headline with a live typewriter terminal that runs a deploy log on loop, plus count-up proof stats. Below sit a scrolling tech stack, a four-practice services grid, case studies with hard metrics, a four-step engagement model, a senior team row, a rotating testimonial carousel, and a validated start-a-project form.

</html>Software / Dev Shop Landing
A full one-page marketing site for Northbyte, a fictional software and product engineering studio. The design leans technical and precise: a near-black #0c0e12 canvas, a single mono-lime accent with a slate secondary, a faint masked grid in the hero, and a Space Grotesk body paired with JetBrains Mono for labels and code. A transparent sticky nav condenses to a blurred bar on scroll and collapses into an accessible slide-down mobile menu.
The hero motif is a working terminal that types out a deploy log on a loop — tests passing, image building, canary rollout, p99 latency — with a blinking caret, while three proof stats count up as they scroll into view. From there the page moves through a hover-reactive tech-stack row, a four-practice services grid (web, mobile, AI & data, platform), three case studies with hard before/after metrics, a numbered engagement model, a senior team row, and a rotating testimonial carousel with clickable dots and autoplay. A “start a project” section closes with an inline-validated brief form (name, work email, scope) that confirms via a toast. Scroll-reveal, hover and active states, keyboard support, full responsiveness down to ~360px, and prefers-reduced-motion fallbacks are wired throughout in vanilla JS.
Illustrative UI only — fictional brand, not a real product.
