Senior Shopify + GSAP Developer
Worldwide
We have a Shopify store (Dawn-based custom theme) for a premium consumer product. The homepage centerpiece is a full-screen, scroll-driven product animation: about 430 frames drawn to a canvas, pinned with GSAP, with Lenis smooth scrolling. It works well on Safari and Mac trackpads. On Chrome and on Windows PCs with a mouse wheel it feels laggy and unresponsive. We need someone who has shipped this kind of thing before to make it smooth everywhere and get us launched. What we need Make the homepage animation smooth and responsive on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, desktop and mobile (iOS Safari, Android Chrome), including mouse wheel, trackpad, and touch Review the current approach (canvas image sequence vs. video) and recommend the right one.
