SECTION 0 — ACTIVE DIALS

BRAND_INTENSITY:    8   (1=Neutral/safe  / 10=Full brand personality saturated)
CONVERSION_FOCUS:   8   (1=Editorial/informational / 10=Every pixel earns clicks)
MOTION_DRAMA:       7   (1=Static / 10=Cinematic scroll choreography)

Dial reading from prompts:

• "bold / aggressive" → BRAND_INTENSITY +2
• "clean / minimal" → BRAND_INTENSITY −2
• "high conversion / sales-focused" → CONVERSION_FOCUS = 9
• "informational / content-first" → CONVERSION_FOCUS = 4
• "cinematic / scroll effects" → MOTION_DRAMA = 9
• "simple / fast" → MOTION_DRAMA = 3

SECTION 1 — THE LANDING PAGE IDENTITY CONTRACT

A landing page has one job: move the visitor to a single, specific action.

Every design decision must answer: does this help the visitor say yes?

1. The hero must communicate the value proposition in under 5 seconds
2. Every section exists to resolve a specific objection
3. The CTA is never more than one scroll away from the user
4. Social proof appears before the fold on mobile
5. Motion serves comprehension — it never competes with copy
6. Brand identity is expressed through typography + color, not decoration

Violation of this contract = page that looks good but does not convert.

---

SECTION 2 — ABOVE THE FOLD (HERO)

The hero is the most expensive real estate on the internet. Treat it accordingly.

2.1 Hero Layout Options (never use AI defaults)

| Pattern | When to Use | |---|---| | Split: copy left / visual right | B2B SaaS, tools, developer products | | Full-bleed background + left-anchored text | Creative agency, portfolio, luxury brand | | Statement typography + minimal visual | Bold brands, editorial, high-confidence products | | Video or animated background + overlay text | Consumer product, entertainment, events | | Two-column asymmetric (60/40) | Product-led growth, app landing pages |

BANNED hero patterns:

• Centered H1 + centered subtext + centered CTA button (AI default #1)
• Stock photo background with dark overlay (AI default #2)
• "Your product name + tagline" with no specific benefit (AI default #3)

2.2 Hero Copy Formula

[OUTCOME the user gets] — not the feature, the outcome
[WHO it's for] — specific, not "everyone"
[HOW it's different] — one sharp differentiator
[CTA] — action verb + benefit, not "Get Started" or "Learn More"

Example (SaaS):

H1:  Cut your code review time in half
Sub: Harlowe runs async reviews on every PR — catches bugs before your team
     even opens the file.
CTA: Start reviewing free →

Example (Agency):

H1:  We build brands that close deals
Sub: Vellum Studio has shipped 140+ brands for funded startups and F500s.
     From logo to launch in 6 weeks.
CTA: See our work →

2.3 Hero Visual Requirements

• Product screenshot: always show the actual UI in use, not a blank mockup
• Illustration: brand-consistent color palette, NOT generic vector clipart
• Video: autoplay muted loop, poster frame loads first, ``
• 3D/WebGL: only when it communicates the product — not for decoration

---

SECTION 3 — BRAND IDENTITY SYSTEM

Every landing page must express a coherent visual identity. Not a template.

3.1 Brand Color Construction

Build from ONE brand color. Everything else derives from it.

:root {
  /* Brand anchor — chosen for the product's emotional register */
  --brand:       hsl(var(--brand-h) var(--brand-s) var(--brand-l));

  /* Derive the full system */
  --brand-light: hsl(var(--brand-h) calc(var(--brand-s) * 0.4) 96%);
  --brand-dim:   hsl(var(--brand-h) var(--brand-s) var(--brand-l) / 0.12);
  --brand-border:hsl(var(--brand-h) var(--brand-s) var(--brand-l) / 0.20);

  /* Neutral grays — always harmonize with brand hue */
  --neutral-50:  hsl(var(--brand-h) 8% 98%);
  --neutral-100: hsl(var(--brand-h) 8% 95%);
  --neutral-200: hsl(var(--brand-h) 8% 90%);
  --neutral-600: hsl(var(--brand-h) 6% 42%);
  --neutral-900: hsl(var(--brand-h) 14% 8%);
}

3.2 Brand Color by Product Type

| Product Category | Brand Hue Direction | Saturation | Feel | |---|---|---|---| | B2B SaaS / Enterprise | Cool blues hsl(215-225) | 60–70% | Authority | | Developer tools | Near-neutral hsl(220-230) | 30–50% | Precision | | Consumer / Lifestyle | Warm oranges/rose hsl(15-350) | 65–80% | Energy | | Fintech / Wealth | Deep green hsl(155-165) | 50–65% | Growth | | Creative / Agency | Contextual — match the brief | Any | Unique | | Luxury / Premium | Desaturated hsl(any) | 15–30% | Restraint |

3.3 Brand Typography

Landing pages use typography as a brand signal. Font = personality.

| Brand Archetype | Display | Body | |---|---|---| | Modern SaaS | Geist / Cabinet Grotesk | Geist / DM Sans | | Bold/Disruptive | Space Grotesk / Syne | Plus Jakarta Sans | | Premium/Luxury | Cormorant Garamond / Playfair Display | Jost / Lato Light | | Creative/Agency | Fraunces / Unbounded | Outfit / DM Sans | | Technical/Dev | Space Mono / JetBrains Mono | Geist / Inter | | Playful/Consumer | Sora / Nunito | DM Sans / Manrope |

Non-negotiable rules:

• Display H1: clamp(3rem, 7vw, 6rem), letter-spacing: -0.04em, line-height: 1.0
• Eyebrow labels: 0.6875rem, letter-spacing: 0.14em, text-transform: uppercase
• Max line length on body: 58ch

SECTION 4 — PAGE ANATOMY

Every high-converting landing page follows this proven structure. Adapt, don't skip.

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. HERO — Value prop + primary CTA       │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 2. SOCIAL PROOF BAR — Logos or numbers   │  ← above fold on mobile
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 3. PROBLEM — Agitate the pain point      │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 4. SOLUTION — How it works (3 steps max) │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 5. FEATURES — 3–5 core capabilities     │  ← NOT equal 3-card grid
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 6. SOCIAL PROOF — Testimonials + stats   │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 7. PRICING — Simple, anchored            │  ← if applicable
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 8. FAQ — Top 5 objections answered       │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 9. FINAL CTA — Repeat the primary CTA   │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 10. FOOTER — Minimal, trust signals      │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

4.1 Section-Specific Rules

Social Proof Bar (Section 2)

• Show company logos OR one strong number, not both
• Grayscale logos at 40% opacity — color on hover
• "Trusted by 2,400+ teams" > "Trusted by leading companies"

Problem Section (Section 3)

• Write from the user's internal monologue, not from product features
• Use second person: "You've tried X. It never quite works because..."
• Visual: split comparison OR a before/after animation

How It Works (Section 4)

• Maximum 3 steps. If it takes more, simplify.
• Each step: number + verb headline + one sentence
• Animate steps sequentially on scroll (stagger in)

Features (Section 5)

• Layout: zigzag (alternating text/visual) OR bento grid — NEVER 3 equal cards
• Each feature: eyebrow label + headline + 2-line benefit + optional visual
• The visual MUST show the feature in action, not an icon

Testimonials (Section 6)

• Real names. Real job titles. Real company names. Real photo.
• Pull the most specific, outcome-focused quote — not "Great product!"
• Format: quote → name + role + company logo
• Show at minimum 3. Use a horizontal scroll carousel on mobile.

FAQ (Section 8)

• Answer the 5 real objections: price, trust, time-to-value, technical fit, support
• Accordion component. Open the first item by default.

SECTION 5 — CONVERSION ELEMENTS

5.1 CTA Button Rules

.cta-primary {
  /* Size: generous — this is the most important button */
  padding: 0.875rem 2rem;
  font-size: 1rem;
  font-weight: 600;
  border-radius: 0.75rem;

  /* Color: full brand, high contrast */
  background: var(--brand);
  color: white;

  /* Motion */
  transition: all 220ms cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1);
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 0 var(--brand-dim);
}
.cta-primary:hover {
  transform: translateY(-2px);
  box-shadow: 0 8px 30px var(--brand-dim);
}
.cta-primary:active { transform: scale(0.97) translateY(0); }

CTA copy rules:

• Start with an action verb: "Start", "Get", "Try", "See", "Build"
• Include a micro-benefit: "Start free", "Get your report", "Try for 14 days"
• NEVER: "Get Started", "Learn More", "Click Here", "Submit"

CTA placement:

• Hero (above fold)
• After problem section
• After features section
• Final CTA section (full-width, high-contrast background)
• Sticky header (appears after 200px scroll, small variant)

5.2 Sticky CTA Header

// Appears after hero scrolls out of view
// Contains: logo + condensed value prop + small CTA button
const StickyBar = () => {
  const { scrollY } = useScroll()
  const opacity = useTransform(scrollY, [400, 500], [0, 1])
  return (
    
      
      
        Cut code review time in half
      
      Start free →
    
  )
}

5.3 Trust Signals

Include at least 3 of these, placed near CTAs:

• Number of users/customers (be specific: "2,847 teams" not "thousands")
• Security badge (SOC2, GDPR, etc.) if applicable
• Money-back guarantee
• "No credit card required" near pricing CTA
• Review platform score (G2, Product Hunt, Trustpilot)

---

SECTION 6 — LANDING PAGE MOTION

6.1 Motion Hierarchy for Landing Pages

Level 1 — Always present (MOTION_DRAMA 1+)

• Hero text: stagger-fade from bottom (40px, 600ms, spring)
• CTA button: magnetic pull toward cursor
• Nav: backdrop blur on scroll

Level 2 — Standard (MOTION_DRAMA 4+)

• Section reveals: clip-path wipe or fade+slide on scroll enter
• Feature sections: alternating zigzag with scroll-triggered animation
• Testimonial carousel: smooth drag with momentum

Level 3 — Cinematic (MOTION_DRAMA 7+)

• Hero: SplitText character-by-character reveal on load
• Product demo: scroll-scrubbed animation (GSAP ScrollTrigger)
• Background: animated gradient mesh or subtle particle system
• Sticky parallax: hero image moves at 0.3× scroll speed
• Number counters: count up when entering viewport

6.2 Hero Animation Sequence (MOTION_DRAMA ≥ 6)

// Orchestrated entrance — use staggerChildren
const heroSequence = {
  hidden: {},
  show: {
    transition: { staggerChildren: 0.08, delayChildren: 0.1 }
  }
}
const fadeUp = {
  hidden: { opacity: 0, y: 32, filter: 'blur(8px)' },
  show: {
    opacity: 1, y: 0, filter: 'blur(0px)',
    transition: { type: 'spring', stiffness: 80, damping: 16 }
  }
}
// Apply to: eyebrow → H1 → subtext → CTA → trust signals
// Each is a separate motion.div with the fadeUp variant

6.3 Scroll-Triggered Feature Reveal

// Each feature section animates in as it enters viewport
const { ref, inView } = useInView({ threshold: 0.2, triggerOnce: true })

---

SECTION 7 — COMPONENT LIBRARY

7.1 Logo Cloud (Social Proof Bar)

// Infinite horizontal marquee — smooth, no gaps

  
    {[...logos, ...logos].map((logo, i) => (
      
    ))}
  

7.2 Testimonial Card

  
    {Array(5).fill(0).map((_, i) => (
      
    ))}
  
  
    "{quote}"
  
  
    
    
      {name}
      {role} · {company}
    
  

7.3 Pricing Card

// Recommended: 3 tiers, middle one highlighted
// Highlight: brand background, white text, "Most Popular" badge

  {isPopular && (
    
      Most Popular
    
  )}
  ${price}/mo
  {/* Features list with checkmark icons */}

7.4 FAQ Accordion

// Open first item by default
const [open, setOpen] = useState(0)

  {faqs.map((faq, i) => (
    
       setOpen(open === i ? -1 : i)}
        className="w-full flex justify-between items-center py-5
          text-left font-semibold text-[--neutral-900]">
        {faq.question}
        
          
        
      
      
        {open === i && (
          
            
              {faq.answer}
            
          
        )}
      
    
  ))}

---

SECTION 8 — CONTENT & COPY STANDARDS

8.1 Conversion Copywriting Rules

• Lead with outcomes, not features. "Ship 3× faster" not "Automated CI/CD pipeline"
• Use specific numbers: "2,847 teams", "saves 4.2 hours/week", "$180K ARR in 90 days"
• Active voice: "Harlowe reviews your code" not "Code is reviewed by Harlowe"
• Short sentences: max 18 words per sentence in hero copy
• No filler: cut "revolutionary", "innovative", "cutting-edge", "next-generation"
• Second person: address the reader as "you" throughout

8.2 Banned Copy Patterns

| Banned | Replace with | |---|---| | "Get Started" | "Start free", "Try it now", "See it in action" | | "Learn More" | "See how it works", "Watch the demo" | | "Elevate your X" | Name the specific outcome | | "Seamless integration" | "Connects to [Tool] in 2 minutes" | | "Trusted by thousands" | "Trusted by 4,200+ engineering teams" | | "Best-in-class" | Name the specific benchmark | | "Innovative solution" | Describe what it actually does |

SECTION 9 — PERFORMANCE & TECHNICAL

Landing pages live or die on performance. Every 100ms of load time costs conversions.

• **LCP `
• CLS = 0: Reserve space for all images with width + height attributes
• Font loading: font-display: swap always. Preconnect to Google Fonts.
• Images: next/image with priority on hero image. WebP format. Responsive sizes.
• Video: preload="none" for background video. Use poster attribute.
• Bundle: Lazy-load everything below the fold. Hero is the only above-fold priority.
• Analytics: Add data-event attributes to all CTA buttons for conversion tracking.
