A founder reached out about Danny Studio, a wedding template I made.

"I love it," they said. "But I feel like I want more."

Nothing was broken, so I scrolled it like a visitor to find the "more."

The homepage started well. A three-column grid that morphed into a masonry as you scrolled it genuinely built emotion.

Then two things cut it short.

One: the photos were finite. The grid ran out and dropped you straight into a Story section right when the feeling peaked.

Two: none of the photos were clickable. Lots of images, but they led nowhere. Beautiful decoration, and nothing more.

So the redesign kept the grid and changed what it did.

The gallery is infinite now a CMS loop of album covers, so the scroll never dead-ends into a story block.

And every cover opens its album. The images went from wallpaper to the main navigation.

The story moved to where it doesn't interrupt: the About page, and the end of each album, once the photos have earned the attention.

One side effect worth noting: Home scrolls forever, so it never reaches a footer. All navigation has to live in the sticky header.

Still refining About and Services. The homepage and album flow are in the clip. Curious how others here think about it when a gallery builds emotion, what do you do with that momentum?
