Komorebi

Most sites ask a visitor to read. Komorebi asks only that they scroll, and the story opens at the pace they choose. They are not watching a video that plays itself, they are the one moving it, and from the moment their hand controls the pace, they stay. By the time they reach the contact form they have already seen the whole story, which means they arrive warm rather than because a banner interrupted them.

It works because there is no pattern to catch. Five stops, and the image opens differently at every one. A visitor who spots a pattern stops looking, which is why most sites lose people by the second scroll. You can see it in the thirty second video here: watch the moment the scroll runs backwards and the image runs backwards with it. That is the difference between an experience someone controls and a video they sit through.

And none of it comes at a cost. The site opens fast on a phone, because what a phone downloads weighs less than half of the desktop version. It reads right to left in Hebrew, it can be navigated by keyboard, it has an accessibility menu, and it was audited against the Israeli accessibility standard. Beautiful, and not a problem waiting to happen.
