Spotlight Sweep
A single soft beam of light passing over a dark section with a quiet top-down vignette, like a stage spotlight crossing the back wall. One deliberate moment of motion for dark hero panels and feature reveals, not a busy texture. Pure CSS, no canvas or JS.

astroSoft, out-of-focus circles in varied sizes and blur drifting gently behind your content, like camera bokeh behind a subject. Warm and photographic rather than geometric — a gentle backdrop for testimonials, pricing, and about pages.
astroA slow, restrained drift of diagonal bands behind a section — reads as quiet motion rather than decoration, so body copy, forms and pricing tables stay fully legible on top.
