Design analysis
A confident single-viewport landing page with no top navigation, split roughly 40/60 between a narrative text column and one large product screenshot. The left column builds a three-line argument (claim, focus, outcome) in a modest-scale grotesque, with a single italic-serif phrase for emphasis, then backs it up with label-value link rows ('Product:', 'Research:') and one solid-black pill CTA. The right side holds a light-mode macOS app shot on a marble-textured rounded card; below it the page drops in density to a carousel caption with dash indicators, then closes with a quiet footer of backing badges (Y Combinator, NVIDIA Inception), compliance claims and legal links — two colours plus tiny third-party accents carry the whole page.

Wait for the answers before writing any code. Everything below is applied to *their* product, not to the reference site. ## Page structure Build a single-viewport landing page with **no navigation bar** — the page opens straight into the hero. Sections top to bottom: 1. **Hero, left column (~40% width, vertically centred)**: a small circular logomark sits inline at the start of an opening one-line claim in bold. Below it, two follow-up statements, each on its own line, the last one containing an emphasised phrase. Then two label–value link rows (e.g. `Product: …`, `Research: …`) where the label is small grey text and the value is a black underlined link. Close with exactly one call-to-action: a solid near-black pill button. 2. **Hero, right column (~60% width)**: one large rounded card with a subtle stone/marble texture background containing a single light-themed product screenshot (a desktop app window with traffic lights). Nothing else competes inside the card. 3. **Carousel caption (directly under the card)**: a row with the product/platform name in bold on the left and five short dash indicators on the right (first dash active/darker), and below it one plain sentence describing what the screenshot shows. Additional screenshots swap in place; the active dash moves. 4. **Footer (single quiet row)**: on the left, a third-party programme badge, a short backing statement with a small partner mark, and compliance claims separated by middots; on the right, two social icons and `Privacy · Terms`. All small grey type, separated from the page by whitespace only. ## Design language - **Composition**: one viewport, two asymmetric columns, generous margins, content vertically centred. Density *decreases* down the page: dense screenshot → one caption line → one footer row. - **Hierarchy through sequence, not size**: three short declarative lines where each answers the previous one. Bold only the opening claim; reserve *italic serif* for exactly one emphasis phrase inside the sans text — that contrast is the page's signature move. Do not inflate the hero type; ~30–36px is enough. - **Colour**: near-white page (`#FAFAF9`–`#FFFFFF`), near-black text (`#111111`), mid-grey for labels and meta (`#8A8A8A`), hairline grey (`#E5E5E5`) only if a rule is truly needed. Colour must never be used as page decoration — it appears only where real third-party marks or in-app states (success greens, tag pills) require it. - **Type**: one grotesque sans (Inter/Söhne class) for everything; a serif italic used once for emphasis. Scale: hero 30–36px, captions/body 15–16px, footer 12–13px, relaxed ~1.5 line-height in the narrative block. - **Links**: two-part rows — grey label, black underlined value. Underlines are the only link affordance on the page. - **Buttons**: exactly one CTA. Solid near-black pill (fully rounded), white 14–15px label, no gradient, no shadow. - **Imagery**: one large light-mode product screenshot inside a rounded card (16–24px radius) set on a tactile texture (marble/stone) with a soft, low shadow. The screenshot must show the user's own product. - **Carousel pattern**: dash-style progress indicators, right-aligned, with captions below the image rather than overlaid on it; subtle ~200ms crossfade between slides is the only motion. - **Footer rhythm**: no columns, no newsletter — trust signals as small text or badges separated by middots, legal links far right. ## Never - Do not reuse Reason's name, logomark, copy, claims (e.g. "world's best coding agent", performance percentages) or its app UI content. - Do not fabricate Y Combinator, NVIDIA, SOC 2 or any other third-party badges or endorsements unless the user actually has them. - Do not copy the marble photograph; choose a different texture or drop the texture if the user has no asset. - Never present the result as Reason or imply any of its affiliations.
