Campaign website with a timed content reveal
The client needed a website that would build anticipation ahead of a launch and release content at a scheduled time. I handled the technical delivery, covering the website, reveal mechanism, hosting, domain configuration, and analytics.
The site
I built a lightweight, responsive Astro website centred on a prominent countdown. Typography, colours, and spacing were refined for mobile and desktop, while fixed-width digits kept the timer visually stable.
Delivery

The reveal
When the countdown ends, the page automatically displays a video or image without requiring a refresh. Visitors arriving after the deadline see the released content immediately. The scheduling accounts for the intended time zone.

Infrastructure and analytics
I configured DNS, hosting, and the domain, then verified the reveal sequence in production using test media. I also integrated self-hosted analytics and carried out updates, database backups, and diagnostics to investigate visit tracking.

The release date, media, copy, and colours were centralised in one configuration file, with documentation supporting ongoing maintenance and deployment.
The result
A deployed campaign website with a tested automatic reveal mechanism, analytics, and straightforward configuration.
