Palisade Door & Gate
A design-first site for a maker of architectural garage doors and estate gates, where a scroll-scrubbed film treats the front of the house as the largest design decision it actually is.
Palisade sells doors and gates as architecture — cedar, blackened steel, and glass drawn with the house rather than bolted onto it — so the site had to feel composed, not catalogued. The signature is a scroll-film hero: a cinematic sequence that moves through curb appeal, cedar and steel, and joinery over hardware, scrubbed frame by frame to the reader’s scroll and played back on a canvas image-sequence so nothing autoplays past them. I generated that footage end-to-end with ComfyUI and Wan image-to-video — no camera, no crew — then wrapped it in quiet editorial chrome: a Fraunces serif, a single green accent, and a faint blueprint substrate that lets the material do the talking. Every page, from the design-consultation copy to the white-glove install line, is hand-built in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with GSAP ScrollTrigger driving the film and Lenis smoothing the scroll. Designed and built solo, launch-ready, top to bottom.

The hero film was never actually filmed. Every frame of cedar and blackened steel was generated with ComfyUI and Wan image-to-video, then scrubbed to the scroll bar so the reader plays the whole thing at their own pace — the page moves only as fast as they do.
