Overview

Lara's is a luxury bridal-beauty salon and training academy, and this is its landing page — eleven crafted sections built pixel-perfect from a set of design mockups. Rather than approximate the design, every colour, type size and gap was read off the mockups with pixel scripts and captured in a written spec, then implemented and verified against the mockup in a render → screenshot → diff → converge loop until the build matched.

It runs on Next.js 16 (App Router, React 19) + Tailwind v4, with a centralised cream-and-gold token system and three self-hosted typefaces (Playfair Display, Poppins, Great Vibes). The page moves through a hero, a grand-opening offer, the salon's story, a filterable services grid, featured packages, a training academy, a gallery, testimonials, an FAQ and a booking/contact section with a location map — fast, mostly-static and fully responsive.

Problem

A luxury salon's site lives or dies on how it looks, so "close enough" was not acceptable. The build had to match the designer's mockups exactly — the gold gradients, the swash headings, the pixel-level spacing. The problem was to turn a stack of static mockups into a fast, maintainable, responsive Next.js site without drifting from the design: a disciplined way to measure the intent, a token and typographic system faithful to it, eleven distinct sections assembled cleanly, and a verification loop that could prove the result matched rather than assert it.
