Custom-Coded Animation Agency Website

I need a clean, fully custom-coded website that puts our animation portfolio front and center. No WordPress or template builders—I’m after hand-written HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (or a lightweight framework such as Vue or React if it helps performance) so the site loads fast and feels uniquely ours.

Core pages and flow
• Landing page that instantly plays or displays selected show-reel pieces without slowing the visitor down.
• About Us, Services Offered, and Testimonials sections woven naturally into the experience rather than isolated tabs.
• A filterable portfolio grid where studios or brands can sort by style (2D, 3D, motion graphics, explainer, etc.). Clicking a piece should open a lightbox or dedicated case-study page with video, stills, and a short project breakdown.
• Prominent enquiry CTA that captures basic lead info and auto-routes to our CRM.

Visual direction
Bold, playful micro-interactions that match an animation studio yet remain professional. Think subtle parallax, hover reveals, and scroll-triggered transitions—nothing overly heavy that could affect UX.

Code expectations
• Semantic, accessible markup
• Modular SCSS or equivalent for easy future updates
• Animated assets optimised through Lottie or compressed MP4/WebM
• Vanilla JS or framework components annotated for handover
• SEO-ready structure and schema tags

Please include links to past work that shows custom front-end builds, especially any projects featuring advanced motion or portfolio presentation. If you handled both design and code, note that. Shortlisted freelancers may be asked to walk me through their favourite snippet so I can gauge coding style.

Launch target is three weeks from hire; let me know if that timing feels realistic and what you’d deliver in each milestone.
