Problem
Creative Twinkles is a digital agency that needed a marketing platform that did three things: convey the brand's aesthetic, convert visitors into qualified leads, and run as a recurring-revenue funnel for the team's services. The existing site was a slideshow; the agency needed an asset.
Approach
Full-stack React with GSAP-driven motion design that felt like a designer cared, performance-tuned so the animations didn't tank Core Web Vitals, and a lead-capture flow that fed straight into the agency's CRM. Backend handled form validation, qualification scoring, and a small CMS layer for case studies the team could update without a dev.
Outcome
$50K+ in recurring revenue attributed to the platform. Lead generation lifted 30% versus the previous site. Lighthouse Performance held above 90 despite the heavy motion, thanks to lazy-loading and reduced-motion preference handling.
Role
Full-stack engineer: frontend, animations, backend, lead pipeline. Worked with the agency's design and account teams.
What I learned
GSAP timelines scale better than ad-hoc CSS animations once a site has more than a handful of moving pieces. Lead scoring is a content problem, not a code problem — the algorithm that converts is the one informed by the people who close the deals.
