Help wanted: Making the project website more visually appealing

[wuyoscar]

Our project website is functional but pretty basic — dark theme, Bulma CSS, static layout. I'd love to make it more polished.

Things I'm looking for:

• Animations: Smooth scroll reveals, hover effects, entrance animations — anything that makes it feel alive
• Better templates: Are there good open-source academic project page templates? I've seen Nerfies style pages and they look great. Any recommendations?
• Interactive elements: The leaderboard is already paginated + searchable. What else could be interactive?
• Mobile experience: Currently works but not optimized. Tips for making it feel native on phones?
• Design inspiration: Links to project pages you think look amazing — I'll study them

Current stack: HTML + Bulma CSS + vanilla JS, deployed on GitHub Pages from docs/ folder. No build step, no framework.

I'm not a frontend expert — if you're good at web design and want to contribute, PRs are very welcome. Even just pointing me to a good template would help a lot 🙏

Looks great already — for the biggest improvement with minimal complexity, I’d suggest starting with a clean academic template like Nerfies, then adding lightweight scroll-in animations, better spacing, and stronger mobile polish. Since you’re on HTML + Bulma + vanilla JS + GitHub Pages, keeping it simple is probably the best move. A few nice upgrades would be section fade-ins, smoother hover states, sticky nav, image/lightbox previews, and better phone spacing/fonts. If you want, I’d be happy to help point out a few open-source project page templates that fit your stack well.
