Modern Tech Stack
Built with cutting-edge technologies:
- Next.js 16 with App Router and React Server Components
- React 19.2.0 leveraging the latest features
- TypeScript for robust type safety
- Tailwind CSS 4 with custom design tokens
- Biome for consistent code quality
Custom Design System
One of the project’s key achievements is a comprehensive design system implementation:
- Responsive Typography Scale: Fluid typography that adapts across three breakpoints (mobile, 800px, 1280px)
- Three Integrated Google Fonts: DM Sans, Encode Sans Expanded, and Encode Sans Semi Condensed
- Semantic Color Tokens: Meaningful naming conventions using CSS variables
- Mobile-First Architecture: Responsive navigation with hamburger menu for smaller screens
Architecture & Code Quality
The project demonstrates modern React patterns and best practices:
- Clean separation of Client and Server Components following React 19 conventions
- Reusable component architecture with conditional styling utilities
- Semantic HTML for enhanced accessibility
- TypeScript throughout for type safety
- Biome-enforced code consistency
Design Philosophy
The site features a sophisticated black and white photography aesthetic with strategic color accents (hot pink/red) that create visual impact. The design emphasizes movement and flow, perfectly aligning with the studio’s philosophy: “Find your flow, and dance your truth.”
Project Origin
This project serves as a portfolio implementation of the “Moody Dance Studio” Figma Community design, demonstrating the ability to transform design mockups into production-ready web applications. All visual design credit is attributed to the original Figma designer.
