Just uses Bricks + custom child theme, ACF, and a bunch of GSAP code. Check it out:

Love the in your face look of the the site, but that spinning cube on the home page is super distracting from your above-the-fold copy.

Appreciate the feedback. I went back and forth on that cube a lot, in terms of the behavior, how much it spends based on velocity, etc.
Curious- did you view from mobile or desktop?
Thank you Sinan! I did come across your SNN-BRX theme while working on the gsap stuff, but was way too far in to things already to go back and see if I could build the effects with your theme.

I checked your site on desktop, and there is enough time to read the hero line, and than the cube pops up. I really like it. Especially how the colour of the font changes with the passing images. It keeps my eye on the hero. But the cube becomes annoying when I scroll down, and it is still there.

Appreciate the feedback @Lydia
So basically in the 2nd āsectionā is when it bothered you / got distracting? (it should disappear after that)
This is the point where I feel it starts to distract me. The cube is a strong visual item, its like hot chili in a dish.
It is possible to shorten the subtext visually: so the word āwhereā on desktop comes on the second line. There is enough space for this, as the second sentence is now about half the first sentence. That might make it possible for some dropping of the cube, but I would limited this and not having it continueing as far as it goes now.
Apart from this, I think the cube is really clever. I also appreciate how the brand names pop up just in between the lines of the hero.
I also love to see this kind of webflowy style done in Bricks, as it shows the versatility of this tool.
Some other things: You might want to check on the Google PSI score for improvements.
Also, as I use AI tools a lot - the last sentence on the homepage drew my attention as it feels very much written by ChatGPT.
Just some quick notes. It is a great looking site!

Honestly Iāve rewritten that subhead and some other parts so many times Iāve lost count. But youāre absolutely right about the line break on that subhead, it no longer lines up nicely with the most recent copy changesā¦ Iāll probably add a <br> to force it at certain widths.
Iāll be doing some more performance optimization after I switch hosting, so havenāt gone too deep on that yet like we would with client sites. Iām trying to avoid a pre-loader if possible. Love that even with just the basics on Bricks, still getting roughly 90 on desktop and 60 on mobile with all the GSAP stuff (though PSI can vary at times).
Appreciate all the notes and feedback!!!

Thatās totally understable, at one point it becomes really hard to see a site with fresh eyes if you have worked so long and hard on it.
Bricks is an amazing tool, and I love the scores on Google PSI that I get. Especially, after working first with Elementor.
Looking forward to see more of your work!
