MoodBuying helps visitors explore products that fit one of 51 moods. Each mood changes the colors, type, layout, and product order.

The site prepares every theme and product list before publication. A mood change loads static files instead of requesting live recommendations.

S3 stores the site, and CloudFront serves it near the visitor. No application code runs when a visitor requests a page.

This approach gives fast page changes and low hosting cost. Product rankings update during a new build, so they do not track live stock.
