unboxedesign

Built the production website for unboxedesign, a boutique graphic design studio. The site uses Next.js 16 as a headless front-end against a WordPress CMS hosted on a separate subdomain, pulling portfolio items, testimonials, and client data via the WP REST API.

Features

• Headless CMS — WordPress on cms.unboxedesign.com feeds the Next.js front-end via REST API; content editors never touch code
• Incremental Static Regeneration — Pages revalidate every 5 minutes with an on-demand webhook triggered on WordPress publish, so portfolio updates go live instantly
• Portfolio grid — Filterable by category (print, web, packaging, identity, illustration), each item linking to a dedicated project page generated at build time
• Contact form — Server-side form submission via Nodemailer routed through the studio’s own SMTP server
• Animations — Framer Motion hero with video background, scroll-driven reveals throughout
• Tailwind CSS v4 — Custom design tokens (cream palette, DM Serif Text + DM Sans type system) via @theme and @utility directives
