Build and deploy a stunning GSAP-powered cocktail website using React and Tailwind CSS—a modern, scroll-driven experience packed with advanced animations. Bring your design to life with dynamic SplitText reveals, smooth parallax scrolling, and scroll-triggered effects using GSAP’s ScrollTrigger. Lock sections in place with pinned animations, sync video playback to scroll position for cinematic storytelling, and enhance visual impact with scroll-based image masking. Create a custom animated carousel, craft seamless timeline animations across sections, and ensure a fully responsive UI that adapts beautifully across all screen sizes.

GSAP is a powerful JavaScript animation library used in this project to create dynamic, scroll-driven visuals. Features include SplitText animations for bold text reveals, ScrollTrigger for timeline control, parallax scrolling, pinned sections, scroll-synced video playback, seamless multi-section timelines, image masking effects, and a fully custom animated carousel.

React is a declarative JavaScript library for building interactive UIs. It provides the component structure for modular development, allowing smooth integration of GSAP animations, reusable logic for scroll behavior, and support for responsive layout and state-driven UI features like carousels and video sections.
-
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that allows developers to design custom user interfaces by applying low-level utility classes directly in HTML, streamlining the design process.
