[ FIG.01 ] 2023 LAUNCH
In 2023 I designed and built the club's site end to end from raw requirements, with performance, SEO and accessibility treated as first-class features, and a Sanity CMS so the team manages events and content without engineering involvement. It has been live on animaunderground.it since.
[ FIG.02 ] 2026 REBUILD
In 2026 I rebuilt it as a camp, neon-lit motion-driven landing page (hero video deferred on mobile) rendered from an editable content model stored as versioned JSON in S3, with a single-owner dashboard and preview.
[ FIG.03 ] PLAYBOOK
The 2026 build's AWS playbook — OpenNext on CloudFront and Lambda, CDK stacks, warmers — became the template every later client site here reuses.
