THESEUS

Project Description

Theseus Landing Page is a visually rich, minimalist marketing website designed to communicate a complex AI + blockchain concept through clean typography, dark-themed aesthetics, and subtle motion. The project emphasizes UI craftsmanship, responsive interaction design, and accessibility-aware behavior, making it suitable for both desktop and mobile audiences.

The landing page includes a hero section with strong messaging, feature highlight blocks, content sections explaining the core technology, and multiple call-to-action areas such as whitepaper downloads. While the project is intentionally lightweight in scope, it demonstrates strong frontend fundamentals, attention to UX details, and production-level polish.

A key technical focus of this project was implementing adaptive tooltip behavior that changes interaction patterns and visual styles depending on the device type, ensuring usability across all screen sizes.

Key Features & Implementation Details

• Modern Dark-Themed UI Design
  Designed a premium dark UI with subtle gradients, texture overlays, and consistent spacing to align with AI/blockchain branding and enterprise-level aesthetics.

• Fully Responsive Layout Across Devices
  Built a responsive grid and typography system that adapts seamlessly from large desktop screens to tablets and mobile devices without layout breakage.

• Adaptive Tooltip Interaction (Desktop vs Mobile)
  Implemented tooltips that behave differently based on input type:

  • Hover-based tooltips for desktop users

  • Click/tap-based tooltips for mobile users
    This ensures accessibility and usability without relying on hover on touch devices.

• Device-Specific Tooltip Styling
  Tooltips dynamically switch styles depending on screen size:

  • Compact, subtle tooltips for desktop

  • Larger, touch-friendly tooltip layouts for mobile
    This improves readability and avoids accidental dismissals on smaller screens.

• Performance-Focused Static Landing Page
  Optimized assets and layout to ensure fast load times and smooth animations, making it ideal for marketing and product-launch use cases.

• Reusable UI Components
  Structured components in a reusable and scalable way, allowing future expansion or integration into a larger marketing site or CMS-driven system.

🔹 Challenges & Solutions

🔴 Challenge 1: Responsive Tooltip Behavior Across Devices

Problem:
Hover-based tooltips work well on desktop but completely fail on mobile devices where hover does not exist.

Solution:

• Implemented conditional interaction logic based on screen size and pointer type

• Enabled hover events for desktop and click/tap events for mobile

• Ensured tooltips close gracefully on outside click or second tap
  This approach delivered a consistent UX across all devices without breaking accessibility.

🔴 Challenge 2: Different Tooltip UI Requirements for Desktop and Mobile

Problem:
A single tooltip design was either too small for mobile or too large and intrusive for desktop users.

Solution:

• Created device-specific tooltip styles

• Used responsive breakpoints to switch layouts dynamically

• Adjusted spacing, font size, and positioning for touch-friendly interaction
  This resulted in tooltips that feel native to each device type.

🔴 Challenge 3: Maintaining Visual Consistency in a Dark UI

Problem:
Dark-themed UIs can easily suffer from poor contrast, readability issues, or visual noise.

Solution:

• Carefully balanced contrast ratios for text and UI elements

• Used subtle gradients and overlays instead of harsh colors

• Maintained consistent spacing and alignment throughout sections
  This ensured clarity while preserving the premium visual feel.

🔹 Learning Outcomes

• Gained deep experience designing device-aware UI interactions

• Learned how to build adaptive tooltip systems without relying on third-party libraries

• Improved skills in responsive UI engineering beyond layout

• Strengthened understanding of UX differences between mouse and touch input

• Enhanced ability to deliver high-quality UI even in small-scope projects
