# Why this site matters
Cerebrium's website was selected as Awwwards Site of the Day on September 10, 2026. The product described on the site is a serverless infrastructure aimed at real-time AI: voice agents, large language models, and AI workloads that require instant scaling, global regions, and built-in observability. The site presents that technical offering through a design-forward, interactive experience.
# What the site does and how it presents the product
The site frames a technical product with cinematic 3D visuals, microinteractions, and practical UI components. Key interactive elements called out on Awwwards include:
- Lottie feature animations for UI components.
These elements aim to make an abstract infrastructure product feel tangible and navigable for visitors who need both visual context and concrete information like pricing and global region coverage.
# Design and technical evaluation
Awwwards published both jury and development evaluations. The overall SOTD score is 7.39/10. The jury-rated components are:
- Design: 7.33/10
- Usability: 7.43/10
- Creativity: 7.38/10
- Content: 7.55/10
The site also received a Dev Award of 7.5/10 with sub-scores that highlight technical strengths:
- Semantics / SEO: 7.40/10
- Animations / Transitions: 8.20/10
- Accessibility: 7.60/10
- Web Performance Optimization (WPO): 7.00/10
- Responsive Design: 8.20/10
- Markup / Metadata: 6.60/10
# People and production hints
Awwwards lists contributors and jury members involved in the evaluation. Names associated with the submission and highlights include Louis Paquet, PRO KOKI-KIKO, Domaine Public, Deven Caron, Pier-Luc Cossette, Célia Lopez, Kim Levan, and Mathis Biabiany. The technical toolset explicitly includes Three.js, GSAP, Cinema 4D, and Lottie.
# Concrete takeaways for designers, product teams, and developers
- Use interactive 3D to explain abstract technical products: a globe or scene can communicate scale and distribution better than dense text.
- Pair cinematic visuals with functional UI elements such as a transparent pricing calculator so visitors can convert interest into evaluation quickly.
- Prioritize animation polish and responsive behavior—Awwwards highlighted these as strong points.
- Don't neglect markup and performance: high animation quality can coexist with better semantics and faster load times.
# Where this sits in a portfolio
The Cerebrium site presents a technical product through creative front-end execution. It's an example of using WebGL and motion design to make infrastructure approachable while keeping practical UI components for conversion and information.
