![Qitchen animated restaurant website preview](outputs/qitchen-site/assets/readme-preview.png)

Qitchen is a dark, cinematic sushi restaurant website inspired by a premium Framer template. It recreates the editorial restaurant experience with original generated food photography, responsive layouts, and a polished animation layer built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

## Animation Details

The site includes a CSS-first motion system designed to feel smooth and high-end without adding animation libraries.

| --- | --- |
| Page fade | The whole interface softly fades in on load. |
| Navigation reveal | The nav bar slides and scales into place. |
| Image settle | Hero images animate from slight blur and zoom into focus. |
| Panel veil | Image cards reveal with a dark cinematic wipe. |
| Title reveal | Large serif headings rise in with a clipped text reveal. |
| Card stagger | Home cards and about cards enter one by one. |
| Menu stagger | Menu items animate into view with subtle vertical motion. |
| Hover polish | Cards, buttons, pills, and thumbnails lift or zoom on interaction. |
| Reduced motion | `prefers-reduced-motion` is supported for accessibility. |

## Deploy

This repository includes `vercel.json`, so Vercel can serve the correct static output folder without a build step.

For static hosting services such as Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, or GitHub Pages, use this folder as the publish directory:

```text
outputs/qitchen-site
```

For GitHub Pages specifically, you can also move the contents of `outputs/qitchen-site` to the repository root or to a `docs/` folder, then configure Pages to serve from that location.

## Customization

Global colors, type, and radius values are defined in `outputs/qitchen-site/styles.css`:

```css
:root {
  --bg: #050605;
  --cream: #f2ead9;
  --gold: #d7c59a;
  --radius: 14px;
}
```

The main animation keyframes are also in `styles.css`:

- `pageGlow`
- `veilOut`
- `imageSettle`
- `riseIn`
- `titleIn`
- `navIn`
- `lineIn`

## Notes

This is a static front-end project. The reservation form displays an in-page success message and does not submit data to a backend.
