The need for a fresh online identity and improved user experience became apparent.

Emotive 'About Us' Page

I redesigned the "About Us" page to tell the compelling story of Raajbarir Khawa, fostering a stronger emotional connection with visitors. This narrative approach humanized the brand and resonated with customers on a personal level.

Slick Interactions

Slick interactions were integrated into the website to enhance the overall user experience. Smooth transitions, hover effects, and interactive elements were strategically placed to make the website not only visually appealing but also highly engaging.

Scroll Trigger Animations

To add an extra layer of engagement, I incorporated scroll trigger animations throughout the website. These animations revealed images and content in an intriguing and dynamic manner, captivating users as they scrolled down the pages.
