Obstacles & Solutions
Obstacle 1: Cross-Browser Audio Playback Restrictions
The Issue: Browsers like Safari and Chrome aggressively block autoplaying audio to prevent spam, which made it difficult to provide the immersive sonic experience the band wanted on initial load.
The Solution: Instead of forcing autoplay and being blocked, I engineered a prominent, beautifully styled interaction button that required intentional user consent. Once the user clicks "Enter" or "Play," the audio API is unlocked contextually, delivering uninterrupted sound.
Obstacle 2: Complex Layered Visuals
The Issue: The band requested a "stacked" logo design (combining cursive text, photos, and standard text) that often broke completely on smaller mobile screens, overlapping text and making it illegible.
The Solution: I built a robust `position: absolute` architecture bound by a `position: relative` container that scaled dynamically using percentage-based `calc()` functions in CSS. This guaranteed the layered assets shrank uniformly in relation to each other regardless of screen size.
