## Overview

Landing page using grade school primary colors — the kind you remember from crayons and traffic signs. Ideal for startups consumer, apps educacionais, ecommerce jovem, plataformas de comunidade, marketing de produto, food delivery. AI-ready template. The grade school palette isn't arbitrary — it's the direct descendant of Bauhaus color theory filtered through mid-century American manufacturing constraints. When Binney & Smith reformulated Crayola's core box in 1958, they weren't just picking cheerful hues. They were codifying what decades of child psychology research suggested: saturated, unambiguous primaries reduce cognitive load for developing minds. Red is RED. Blue is BLUE. No subtlety, no apology.

What's fascinating is how this palette became cultural shorthand. The specific warmth of that yellow, the slightly orange-leaning red, the blue that sits between royal and cobalt — these aren't pure primaries in any color science sense. They're *remembered* primaries. The colors we collectively hallucinate when someone says "elementary school." They carry the waxy smell of a 64-count box and the specific friction of construction paper.

The retro revival of these tones in contemporary design isn't nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. It's designers recognizing that maximum saturation plus maximum simplicity creates instant emotional access. No onboarding required.

## AI Visual Direction

Design a landing page using grade school primary colors — the kind you remember from crayons and traffic signs. ORANGE is the DOMINANT color replacing traditional corporate blue as the primary action color. Use pure red #E53935, blue #1E88E5, yellow #FDD835, green #43A047 as supporting colors. Apply modern tints and shades to prevent childish appearance — subtle saturation adjustments, soft colored shadows. Generous border-radius (12-20px). Bold friendly typography (rounded sans-serif like Nunito or Poppins). Large solid color blocks as section backgrounds. Warm cream #FFF8E1 as base. Colored box-shadows matching element colors at 20% opacity. Hover states increase saturation. The overall feel should be warm, energetic, and action-oriented — NOT childish.

## CSS Technical

```css
font-family: 'Nunito', 'Poppins', sans-serif; font-weight: 600-800; border-radius: 12-20px; box-shadow: 0 4px 20px rgba(color, 0.2); background: solid color blocks; color: #1A1A1A on light, #FFFFFF on dark; transition: all 250ms ease; filter: saturate(1.1) on hover; padding: 2rem 3rem on buttons
```

## 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.
