## Overview
Webcore / Old Web visual system, translated from the Claude Artisan catalog for use in digital products. GeoCities clutter, tiled backgrounds, GIFs; Guestbooks, hit counters, 'under construction'
- **Category:** niche
- **Era:** 2019–present (evokes 1997–2005)
- **Origin:** Nostalgia for early personal internet.
- **Reference:** GeoCities/Angelfire pages; Neocities revival.
- **Structural base:** grade modular responsiva
**Defining traits:**
- GeoCities clutter, tiled backgrounds, GIFs
- Guestbooks, hit counters, 'under construction'
- Comic Sans, marquee, bevel buttons
- DIY, chaotic, nostalgic
## Colors
- **bg** — #ff00ff
- **surface** — #c0c0c0
- **surface-strong** — #e0e0e0
- **border** — #000080
- **text** — #000000
- **text-muted** — #333366
- **primary** — #0000ff
- **accent** — #00ff00
- **link-visited** — #800080
## Typography
- Display: 'Comic Sans MS', 'Impact', cursive
- Body: 'Comic Sans MS', 'Comic Neue', cursive
- Mono: 'Courier New', monospace
## Layout
- grade modular responsiva
- Use a responsive grid and preserve content hierarchy.
- Collapse columns below 768px without horizontal overflow.
## Elevation & Depth
- GeoCities clutter, tiled backgrounds, GIFs; Guestbooks, hit counters, 'under construction'; Comic Sans, marquee, bevel buttons; DIY, chaotic, nostalgic; sombras e elevação
## Shapes
- Radius scale: 0px, 0px, 0px.
## Components
- Buttons keep visible focus and predictable hover/pressed states.
- Cards use the surface and radius scale from the tokens.
- Forms expose persistent labels, textual errors, and keyboard focus.
## Do's and Don'ts
- Do: follow the tokens and the structural composition.
- Do: maintain WCAG AA contrast and `prefers-reduced-motion`.
- Avoid: using the style as decoration without functional hierarchy.

## Implementation Checklist
- Contraste WCAG AA; foco visível; navegação por teclado; estados hover/pressed; responsividade; prefers-reduced-motion; Tailwind v4 via @theme.
## Execution Rules
1. Strictly follow the defined visual style.
2. Use high-quality inline SVG icons (Heroicons or Lucide style) — NEVER use emojis as icons.
3. Add `cursor-pointer` and smooth `hover` states (transition-all) on all interactive elements.
4. Required Page Structure:
- Navbar (Logo + Links + CTA)
- Hero Section (Impactful Headline + Subtitle + 2 buttons + 3D/Abstract visual element via CSS)
- Features (3 cards with icons)
- Testimonials (3 cards)
- Pricing (3 tiers, highlight the middle one)
- Final CTA
- Full Footer with social links, privacy policy, terms of use, contact and SEO links.
5. All text content must be in English.
6. The visual must be CLEARLY distinct — do not create a "default Bootstrap" design. Force the use of the provided design system variables.
7. Use `<style>` tags in the head for custom classes (especially for complex backdrop-filter effects and animations) that Tailwind CDN doesn't cover.
8. Full Responsiveness: Layout must adapt perfectly to Mobile, Tablet and Desktop (vertical stack on mobile).
9. Include basic SEO, Viewport and Open Graph meta tags in `<head>`.
10. Footer must contain: Copyright 2026, Secondary navigation links and Social media icons.
11. Make the creative decisions needed to deliver the complete, functional result now.Related
