# Design Brief: Enterprise Clean (with Dark Developer)

Trustworthy blue-anchored palette, structured grids, and prominent customer logo walls.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f0f0f0;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #1f1f20;
  --muted-foreground: #333333;
  --accent: #0069cc;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Segoe WPC", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Segoe WPC", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "Segoe WPC", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F0F0F0 (~79%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~7%) · Text #1F1F20 (~7%) · Muted Text #333333 (~4%) · Accent #0069CC (~3%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Headline Over Large Product Shot
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Code & Terminal
- Spatial layout notes: Headline Over Large Product Shot hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Enterprise Clean (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring headline over large product shot layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Experimental navigation patterns
- Low-legibility decorative fonts
- Visual novelty that obscures the value proposition

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
