The Icaros Festival website was designed to embody the festival's core values of connection, transformation, and sacred practice. The site captures the essence of a community gathering in Portugal, where medicine music, rituals, and art come together to create an immersive experience. This digital space reflects the nurturing energy of the festival, inviting visitors into a harmonious space that honors sacred songs, movement, and deep connections.
To bring this vision to life, I incorporated various technologies including GSAP animations for smooth, interactive effects, Swiper.js for image galleries, and Cloudinary to manage media files efficiently. For email integration, Zoho and Brevo were used to create professional email systems. Additionally, I employed Python to automate the creation of spreadsheets for the gallery and used Handbrake and RioT to optimize images and videos for web use. The site also integrates Ticket Taylor and Stripe for seamless ticket sales, alongside custom JavaScript and CSS to enhance interactivity and user experience.
This project blends modern web technologies with the spirit of Icaros, creating a digital space that mirrors the festival’s commitment to honoring sacred practices, unity, and transformation.
