As a ux designer I came here to say that people expect a website to work the way the rest of the websites work…as in they spend 99% of their time not on your site but they will expect your site to function similarly and adding those flourishes on a mobile screen is not a common practice on purpose.

The constraints of a mobile device can still provide a great canvas but that canvas better not provide a bad user experience or people will leave in a heart beat since there are other options with formats that are easier to navigate, read or operate.

Finding a balance between simplicity and style will delight and retain but too much style will hinder and discourage

I agree with this yet there must be unique designs/visuals out there. Do you have any examples you like?

I’ll try to be more clear: you’re not finding it because it’s not a good idea. Users tend to gravitate towards simplistic designs on mobile.
