Premium Dark Website - Lessons to be learnt!

Dark. Slick. Confident. ⚡️

I’ve failed many times trying to make a great dark-background [only] website that I truly love - so finding one that nails it like this genuinely makes me want to try again!

Here’s what makes it so good ↓

🌌 Dark done right
I've found fully dark sites to be hard to balance - this one feels corporate, premium and still creative. I'm jealous 👀😂

🎯 About section - quick clarity
The tagline “Award-winning global experiential company with a specialism in holographic and immersive experiences,” instantly sets the tone. No filler. Just clarity and class - honestly love that this very restrained copy was green lit.

⚙️ That navigation
Two top links and a full-page overlay - it’s such a clever hybrid. Super snappy, super fast. I love that click fade as the bars vanish and the purple/ blue overlay slides in.

Nav bars are either one or the other - love the hybrid approach!

💡 Professional, not pretentious
It’s a moody site that somehow feels boardroom-ready 😂!! Fonts are clean, spacing immaculate and motion confident without screaming “creative for creative’s sake.”

🤯 …and built on Wix?!
I’m still not sure, but if this is a Wix Studio site, it’s one of the best examples I’ve seen yet. Performance, animation, UX - all flawless.

A stunning reminder that dark design doesn’t have to mean edgy or chaotic - it can be disciplined, stylish and full of light where it counts.
