Usage Tips
- The multiple homepage variants differ only in visual presentation; the core structure is consistent. Pick the version that best matches your project's style as a starting point.
- Video background pages (YouTube / Vimeo / HTML5) depend on video resource loading and may be slow on first open. Enable gzip compression and use a CDN in production.
