Client came in with a big project full custom website, animations, e-commerce, the works.

Everything was going well until payment came up. They wanted us to build the entire thing first, then they'd pay "if they liked it."

We said no.

Not because we couldn't deliver — but because that's not how a studio operates. Our work has value before it's handed over, not after.

They went quiet. Probably found someone who said yes.

Still don't regret it.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Where do you draw the line with spec work?

What do you think?

We're a web design studio and we're always keeping an eye on what's trending in the animation space.

Lately we've been heavy on GSAP + ScrollTrigger for most of our builds. Experimenting with Three.js for 3D stuff.

Curious what the community is seeing. what libraries or tools are showing up on the most impressive sites you've come across recently?
