Designed and built the full website for Táncfórum, the only professional association uniting Hungarian folk dance in Slovakia — 30+ ensembles and close to 1,500 dancers.
Six pages, a pixel-art motif system drawn from embroidery, and a hand-coded front-end with scroll-driven animations — from first sketch to deployment.
The homepage opens with the wordmark and the pixel-art mark, then straight into the Táncháztalálkozó date — the site's biggest event gets top billing.
The loading screen is drawn from the same embroidery pattern that runs through the rest of the site.
The association had no visual identity online. The site had to speak to village children's groups and national-level workshops alike, so the language stays archival and quiet: a serif display face, a visible six-column grid, and embroidery motifs redrawn as pixel art — a centuries-old craft given a screen-native form.
The Szlovákiai Magyar Táncháztalálkozó is the community's largest annual gathering, and its page carries the heaviest load on the site. The full line-up, a stage-by-stage programme grid across two days and five venues, and ticketing — all of it had to stay readable on a phone in a crowded hall.
The date reveals through the same pixel mask that opens every page, then the hall photography takes over.
Every member ensemble sits in a black-and-white archive grid, each tile carrying its home town and category.
Photographs arrived from thirty different sources in thirty different qualities. Stripping them to monochrome turned that inconsistency into a single, coherent voice.
Hover a tile and the pattern breaks apart to bring up the ensemble's home town and category.
The association's leadership gets its own page — a quiet, portrait-led directory of the people running it, in the same serif and same grid as everything else.
From the homepage straight through to a board member's portrait — one continuous visual language.
TáncPódium, the association's own competition, gets a bolder sans-serif voice — a deliberate break from the rest of the site.
Joining used to happen by word of mouth. The site turns it into three clear steps — download the declaration, send it in, get a reply — with the membership tiers stated up front.
The three-step join flow in motion — declaration, submission, confirmation.
