Project Spotlight

Aptera [Configurator]

The Aptera Reserve page features an interactive car configurator built primarily with JavaScript, which allows users to customize their vehicle in real-time. Users can select from various options such as color, range, solar power, drivetrain, interior features, and additional upgrades with instant visual updates reflecting their choices.

The interface is responsive, intuitive, and designed to enhance user engagement through smooth animations and dynamic content rendering. Once a user has finished customizing their configuration, the payload is sent to the Keap API where the user's information is stored and they can then complete the checkout process.
