Post excerpt:
Hey HN, been working on this for a while and finally put it out there. I've used YNAB for a few years for zero-based budgeting. It works, but I never once used the automatic bank import — I just manually enter everything. Paying $109/yr (plus tax) for that felt like a lot. Their pricing went up over the years too and there's only one plan, so you're paying f

# Design Brief: Enterprise Clean (with Soft & Friendly)

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f2f7fc;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #171c27;
  --muted-foreground: #626b78;
  --accent: #1e5fa8;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F2F7FC (~76%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~8%) · Text #171C27 (~9%) · Muted Text #626B78 (~4%) · Accent #1E5FA8 (~3%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Metrics Strip, Floating Multi-Cards
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Enterprise Clean (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + cta 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.
