Electric Studio
Bold, clean professional landing page with a two-panel vertical split layout. Ideal for estúdios de design, digital agencies, portfolios profissionais, consultorias. AI-ready template.
Use case: Design studios, Digital agencies, Professional portfolios, Consulting firms
Historical Context
The split panel didn't emerge from theory. It came from print — specifically from the Swiss poster tradition of dividing a surface into opposing fields of tension. Black ink on white stock, reversed out. When the web matured past single-column blogs, studios grabbed that same device: cleave the viewport in two, let contrast do the talking. What makes it stick is the violence of the join. A white upper half breathes — airy, typographic, restrained. Then the dark lower half absorbs. It's not decoration; it's pacing. The eye lands on lightness, reads the headline, then drops into density. Agencies figured this out early because their work demands theatrical framing. You don't present a rebrand inside a beige container. The convention solidified around 2016–2018 as studio sites competed for visual authority. Two panels, hard edge, no gradient softening the seam. It signals confidence. The layout says: we understand composition well enough to let negative space and darkness coexist without mediation.
When to Use
When the page needs immediate visual hierarchy without relying on imagery alone. Split panels work best for hero sections where a studio name or tagline needs room to land before portfolio content takes over below. Ideal for sites that carry minimal navigation — the division itself becomes the architecture. Avoid it on content-heavy pages where the hard split fights readability. Best deployed when you want the layout to feel like a statement, not a container.
Design Principles
- Commit to the hard edge — no gradients, no feathering. The contrast only works when the boundary is absolute.
- Let the white panel do less. Resist filling it. A single line of type in generous space outperforms a cluttered light section every time.
- Anchor typography to the split line. Headlines that sit near the boundary create gravitational pull between the two zones.
- Use the dark panel for weight, not just color. Dense imagery, solid blocks, or heavy type — it needs mass to counterbalance the emptiness above.
- Scale the split ratio intentionally. 50/50 is safe but static. A 60/40 or 70/30 division introduces asymmetry that feels more composed, less default.

## 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
