Integrating liked features into the main site

The situation

A user requested to build a site that showcases liked features working together, with existing prototypes for gaze and gallery interactions. The current homepage is a simple coming-soon page with a contact link. The goal is to create a demonstrable combined experience. The user wants to see the features integrated into the actual site, rather than as separate prototypes. This requires deciding how to incorporate the liked features into the site.

What they weighed
