## Overview

Belle epoque landing page, art nouveau style, alphonse mucha aesthetic, lithograph texture, floral borders, vintage elegance, pastel colors. Ideal for landing pages, modern websites. AI-ready template. The Belle Époque gave us the poster as art object. Before Mucha draped his Byzantine-haired women across Parisian kiosks, before Toulouse-Lautrec flattened the Moulin Rouge into pure graphic punch — advertising was forgettable. Lithography changed that. Suddenly color was cheap, scale was possible, and the street became a gallery. Mucha's genius wasn't just ornament for ornament's sake. Those sinuous borders, the botanical halos, the layered frames — they created hierarchy. They told your eye exactly where to land.

Translated to digital, this vocabulary is absurdly potent for luxury branding. The ornamental frame becomes a container component. The flowing hair becomes a decorative divider. The muted metallics and dusty pastels signal craft without screaming wealth. What works is restraint within excess — every curl has a job.

The frame-as-UI-pattern deserves special attention. In lithographic posters, borders weren't decoration — they were architecture. They separated title from figure from background. Modern card components, modal overlays, even navigation wells can borrow this logic: use ornamental borders not as flair, but as structural rhythm that guides the viewer through content zones.

## Implementation Checklist

- ☐ Cream/Parchment background
- ☐ Art Nouveau curves and flowers
- ☐ Muted vintage pastel colors
- ☐ Serif or Decorative fonts
- ☐ Ornamented borders

## 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.
