Time2RP Landing Page
Fresh landing re‑design ready for their 2.0 update!
Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated with Time2RP — this is a personal passion project. If it’s a concern to the team or community, please reach out via Email or Discord and I’ll remove it immediately.
Background & Motivation
I’ve followed Time2RP since its early days, and with the upcoming 2.0 update, the existing site felt visually dated and lacked modern responsiveness. I decided to rebuild it from the ground up — not as a criticism, but as a showcase using a clean, performant, and responsive design system.
Technologies Used
| Technology | Role in Project |
|---|---|
| Astro | Lightweight frontend framework with component-based structure. |
| TypeScript | for developer confidence and robust interfaces. |
| TailwindCSS | utility-first styling method built for speed |
Design & UX Breakdown
Landing Section
- Headline: Pulled directly from the original brand messaging — “Your imagination drives the action” — reinforcing their identity.
- CTA Buttons: Primary “Apply Now” in their signature red (
#e52b40), paired with a secondary “Join Discord”. Both buttons are visually balanced, responsive, and optimized for both mouse and keyboard navigation. - Visuals: Full-width, high-res background with ample padding and overlay for accessibility, ensuring text contrast and clarity.
Rules Section
- Toggle View: A clean tab switcher between “Server Rules” and “Gang Rules”, reducing scroll fatigue and visual noise.
- Dynamic Markdown: Content is stored as structured Markdown — easy to update, style, and render responsively.
- Readability: Crisp typography, heading hierarchy, and collapsible sections enhance scanning and mobile friendliness.
Socials Section
- Grid Layout: Minimal cards with icon, platform branding, hover state, and link.
- Consistency: Tight spacing, clear iconography, and succinct copy make it intuitive and visually cohesive.
Header & Navigation
- Sticky Header: Always-in-view nav with smooth scrolling for internal links, plus external links for “Store” and direct contact.
- Responsiveness: Mobile hamburger menu morphs into a clean dropdown, preserving accessibility and performance.
Visual & Interaction Details
- Dark mode bias: Low-light friendly defaults, aligning with typical gaming panel environments.
- Micro-interactions: Subtle hover transitions on buttons/links, accordion animations for rule toggles, and responsive feedback during scroll.
- Performance-first: Image optimization via Astro, lazy-loading hero assets, and Tailwind JIT builds for lean CSS delivery.
- Accessible typography: High contrast, variable font sizing, and safe fallback fonts ensure readability across platforms.
Developer Experience
- Component-first: Atomic components for headers, buttons, markdown, cards, allowing reuse and consistency.
- Type-safe props provide early error detection and self-documenting APIs.
- Tailwind’s theming (JIT): Easily adjust brand colors, spacing, and typography.
- Local dev feedback: Hot-reloading in Astro ensures instant visual updates during styling and layout tweaks.
Responsiveness & Device Support
- Fluid design scales elegantly from small (360px) mobile up to large desktop and ultrawide screens.
- Breakpoints are consistent and deliberate (
sm,md,lg,xlin Tailwind), ensuring all CTAs and sections stack gracefully. - Pages are tested across major browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Safari — and behave smoothly on real-world mobile devices.
What I’d Do Next
- Analytics: Add event tracking for CTA clicks and scroll depth to iterate on content placement.
- A/B Testing: Try variant CTAs (“Apply Now” vs “Get Started”) and hero copy for conversion insights.
- Rich Hero Media: Consider looping video or canvas animations for dynamic backgrounds.
- Team Collaboration: Invite Time2RP devs to review, contribute, or consider integration into the live site.
