About

Made for the
earliest years.

SPROUT is an imaginary storefront and a very real demonstration of front-end craft. It exists to prove a point: a small, honest ecommerce base — real cart, real filters, no backend — can be reskinned into a completely different, gentler store without a rewrite.

Filters that mean it

Every checkbox here maps to a real material, age range or safety claim — not a mood board. Swap the catalog for a completely different kind of store and the same engine keeps working.

02

Honest by default

Nothing here pretends to be a backend it isn't. The cart is real, the checkout total is real math, and the confirmation says plainly that no order is placed.

03

Calm, then considered

A soft palette and a gentle grid, with motion that always has a reduced-motion twin. The craft is in what's left out, not piled on.

How it's made

Every product photograph on this site is real, self-hosted photography — downloaded once, converted to WebP, and committed to the repo. No hotlinking, no external requests at runtime, and explicit dimensions everywhere so nothing shifts while it loads.

The storefront runs entirely in your browser: no backend, no API calls. Adding to cart and placing an order update local state directly, persisted to this browser's localStorage — instant, and honestly labelled as a demo. Nothing is ever charged and no order is transmitted anywhere.
