Overview.
Pure Awareness teaches Tai Chi and Qigong in Sevenoaks, Kent, drawing on a lineage of masters. The site carries the calm of the practice: a slow slideshow hero, an optional ambient soundtrack and plain, welcoming information about every class.
Behind the scenes, the enquiry form sends email through Brevo, and a members area built on Google Apps Script, a Google Sheet and Drive keeps class notes, recordings and files behind a login without running a server.
What stood out.
- 01
Atmosphere with restraint
A Ken Burns hero slideshow, a parallax quote and an ambient audio toggle that only plays when a visitor chooses it.
- 02
A members area without a server
Login, sessions and visible content are managed from a Google Sheet. Private Drive files are streamed through the script, so they are never publicly shared.
- 03
Proof that is easy to trust
A reviews page with ratings and a featured review, plus YouTube videos that load as a thumbnail first so pages stay quick.
