Interactive Crab Finder Website
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I’m putting together a surprise gift and need a playful, cartoon-style web experience that immediately makes visitors smile, then guides them to the closest place to enjoy crab. Picture a bright, animated landing page with a cheeky crab mascot welcoming the user and, as soon as the page loads, asking permission to use their current location. Once granted, the site should display a map (Google Maps or a similarly accurate service) with pins for nearby crab restaurants. A friendly call-out card for each pin will show name, distance, and a link to directions.
Core pieces I need from you:
• Cartoonish, fun visual theme—think bold colors, bubbly fonts, and lighthearted micro-animations.
• Automatic geolocation; no forms or dropdowns before the map appears.
• Clean, responsive layout so it feels as good on a phone as on a desktop.
• Simple CMS-free structure (a few HTML/CSS/JS files) that I can easily hand over to the recipient.
• Clear setup notes so I can deploy it on a standard shared host without headaches.
For now, the only must-have feature is the restaurant locator, but I’d like the code organized so aquariums or other crab-related stops can be added later with minimal tweaks.
Send a quick outline of how you’d handle the geolocation prompt, mapping API, and sprite animations, plus an estimated timeline. Once we agree, I’ll supply any extra artwork assets you need—otherwise feel free to suggest royalty-free alternatives that match the vibe.
