Finora is a responsive and visually refined digital banking web application built entirely with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The project was developed from the ground up to demonstrate the strength of core front-end technologies, showing that a professional, interactive, and user-centered experience can be built without relying on frameworks.
Inspired by the clean design systems of modern fintech platforms, Finora focuses on clarity, consistency, and user trust. It simulates a complete banking website journey, from homepage navigation to pricing, sign-up, and portfolio sections. The project emphasizes responsive layouts, modular CSS, and smooth microinteractions that bring a polished, real-world product feel.
Many banking interfaces, while functional, often appear cluttered or overly technical, making users feel disconnected or overwhelmed. The challenge was to create a lightweight, front-end-only banking experience that communicates professionalism and reliability, all while staying minimal, intuitive, and device-agnostic.
The project needed to demonstrate how core web technologies could deliver high-end results similar to modern UI frameworks. This meant achieving pixel-perfect responsiveness, intuitive navigation, and fluid interactions that reflect the trust and elegance expected from a financial institution, without compromising performance or maintainability.
To achieve this, I adopted a fundamentals-first approach, prioritizing structure, scalability, and maintainability. The site was coded using semantic HTML5 for accessibility, CSS3 with Flexbox and Grid for layout precision, and Vanilla JavaScript for interactivity.
A modular CSS architecture was designed to ensure reusability and consistency across multiple pages. I developed a professional color system featuring soft beige tones paired with teal accents, balancing approachability with sophistication. Each component, from buttons to forms, followed a cohesive design language to maintain brand consistency.
For interactivity, lightweight JavaScript modules were used to power dynamic elements such as the hamburger navigation menu, pricing plan toggle, and form validations. Smooth transitions and hover states were added to create an engaging, modern browsing experience while ensuring minimal load overhead.
By eliminating dependencies on frameworks, I was able to focus on performance optimization, semantic structure, and clean code practices, key aspects that align with real-world development standards.
