Until now, QuickShort had a neat trick: short links that worked.
But if you visited the root domain, you hit… nothing.

That wasn’t great.

So we built a landing page — a simple place that explains what QuickShort is and hints at what’s coming. The setup leaned on AWS primitives we were already using:

  • CloudFront behavior for /
  • Lambda@Edge Origin Request Function to rewrite / → /index.html
  • Origin Access Control (OAC) for secure fetches from S3
  • S3 bucket hosting the static HTML page

It’s a small touch, but it makes the project feel more real — visitors now see a face instead of a blank stare.
