DEMO: https://nordvpn-clone.vercel.app/

ORIGINAL SITE: https://nordvpn.com/

The NordVPN Clone project is an educational journey into replicating the sleek and responsive design of the NordVPN website. The goal was to understand and implement the design patterns and strategies used by professional UI/UX designers to create highly interactive and user-friendly websites.

Short Explanation

This clone was created as a way to demonstrate proficiency in modern web development frameworks and libraries. It includes various pages found in the original NordVPN website, such as the homepage, pricing, and features sections. Special attention was given to ensure that the design is fully responsive, making the website accessible and visually appealing on any device, from desktops to smartphones.

Tech Stack

  • Next.js: Chosen for its server-side rendering capabilities, which enhance SEO and performance.
  • Tailwind CSS: Utilized for its utility-first approach, making it a breeze to style elements in a responsive and consistent manner.
  • React: Powers the dynamic aspects of the site, enabling interactive components without sacrificing speed.
  • Vercel: The platform used for deployment, providing a seamless CI/CD pipeline for Next.js applications.
  • Framer Motion: Included for adding smooth and appealing animations, improving the overall user experience.
  • TypeScript: Used to ensure type safety across the application, reducing the risk of bugs and enhancing code maintainability.
