The problem with AI-generated websites: They're flat, generic, and forgettable.
Most AI coding tools build functional websites — but they lack soul. You get working HTML, proper semantics, responsive layouts... and zero emotional impact. Every site feels the same: static sections, basic transitions, predictable layouts.
This changes now.
This isn't another AI-generated template. This is what happens when AI has domain expertise — when it understands cinematic design, scroll storytelling, and the psychology of depth.
Built using the epic-design skill from the claude-skills repository — an open-source collection of production-ready skills maintained by the community.
Generic AI sites:
- Flat, static sections
- Basic fade-in animations
- No depth or spatial awareness
- Feels like a template
Epic Design sites:
- 6-layer depth system with real parallax
- Scroll-driven storytelling
- Cinematic text animations (13 techniques)
- Apple/Awwwards-level polish
- Feels handcrafted by a senior designer
- Pure CSS + JavaScript — 45+ animation techniques
- GSAP ScrollTrigger — industry-standard scroll engine
- WCAG 2.1 AA compliant — reduced-motion, ARIA, semantic HTML
- Performance optimized — GPU acceleration, will-change management
- Single HTML file — self-contained, easy to deploy
- 6-layer depth system (depth-0 to depth-5)
- Elastic drop entrance with impact shake
- Ghost outlined background text
- Word-by-word scroll lighting
- Scrub timeline (scroll = animation frames)
- Float loops on all depth layers
- Mobile-optimized with reduced effects
- Accessibility built-in from day one
This site was built by Claude AI using the epic-design skill — part of the claude-skills repository, an open-source library of 177+ production-ready skills for AI coding agents.
Epic-design is a comprehensive instruction package that gives AI the knowledge to build cinematic web experiences.
- SKILL.md — 45+ techniques across 8 categories
- 9 reference files — depth system, motion patterns, text animations
- Asset inspection pipeline — judges when to remove backgrounds vs keep them
- Python automation — image analysis, validation scripts
- Production-ready — accessibility, performance, best practices built-in
Before epic-design:
"Build me a landing page" → Generic template with basic animations
After epic-design:
"Build me a landing page" → Inspects assets, assigns depth layers, chooses cinematic techniques, builds with scroll storytelling
AI is getting better at writing code. But code isn't design.
Design is about:
- How elements enter and exit
- The relationship between layers
- The rhythm of scroll
- The feeling of depth
- The moment of delight
Epic design teaches AI to think about these things.
It's not about generating more code — it's about generating better experiences.
Epic-design is part of the open-source claude-skills repository:
- Get the skill: epic-design in claude-skills
- Install: Follow the installation guide
- Use with: Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, or any AI coding tool
- Provide product assets — PNG images with transparent backgrounds work best
- Build cinematic websites in minutes, not hours
Pro tip: The skill includes an asset inspection pipeline that analyzes your images and recommends depth assignments. For best results, provide:
- Product images (bottles, devices, objects) as transparent PNGs
- Multiple assets at different sizes for compositional hierarchy
- Background images or textures for depth-0 layer
The AI will inspect each asset, judge whether backgrounds need removal, and assign optimal depth levels automatically.
- Product launch pages
- Portfolio sites
- SaaS marketing pages
- Event landing pages
- Brand experiences
- Hero sections that actually convert
This is just the beginning.
Right now, AI can write code. Soon, with skills like epic-design, AI will craft experiences.
The difference between a developer and a designer isn't the tools — it's the taste, judgment, and domain knowledge.
Skills give AI that knowledge.
