Overview

A bank that feels like an experience

Nexus Bank needed a landing page as modern as its app - premium, animated, and impossible to scroll past. I built it in WordPress with full-screen GSAP parallax that reveals the story one section at a time.

End to end: design direction, a hand-coded WordPress theme, and scroll-driven GSAP & ScrollTrigger animation tuned to stay buttery on every device.

Challenges

Getting heavy motion to feel effortless

A scroll-driven banking site lives or dies on the details - it has to feel premium and alive, stay fast under heavy animation, and still read as a bank you'd actually trust.

Motion with a purpose

Every scroll beat had to reveal exactly one idea - guiding the eye, never animating just for decoration.

Buttery at full weight

3D cards, video and layered parallax - all locked to a smooth 60fps with GPU-friendly transforms and lazy loading.

Flashy, but still a bank

A fintech has to feel secure and credible - the motion adds delight without ever undercutting that trust.

Smooth, and accessible

A reduced-motion mode and keyboard-friendly markup keep it usable for everyone - no one's stuck behind the animation.

Scroll-driven storytelling

Every scroll tells the next part of the story

Instead of static sections, the page unfolds as you scroll - cards rotate in, the phone tilts, balances count up, and card tiers reveal one by one. Built with GSAP ScrollTrigger and pinned timelines, synced to a smooth Lenis scroll.
