The main challenge in developing Autolayer was achieving a flawless visual match to the original site while improving the performance and fluidity of the user experience. Reproducing detailed animations and transitions required precision and an in-depth understanding of GSAP. Ensuring that the clone was responsive across devices and browsers while maintaining pixel accuracy demanded meticulous layout planning and styling. Performance optimization was also key, as the goal was to reduce load times and eliminate jank during animations, even on lower-powered devices.

To overcome these challenges, the frontend was carefully hand-coded with semantic HTML and modular CSS to ensure maintainability and scalability. GSAP was employed to recreate and improve upon original animations, enabling smooth, hardware-accelerated transitions. Responsive design techniques were implemented to ensure the layout adapted seamlessly to all screen sizes, while media queries and flexible units preserved design integrity. Performance was fine-tuned by optimizing image assets, minimizing reflows, and using GSAP’s performance-friendly features, resulting in a fast, responsive, and visually rich experience.
