Plumestow

Dark cinematic online store site on near-black with a sparing azure accent

Dark · Dark cinematic · E-commerce · front-end app (local state)

A dark and atmospheric visual system for a consumer brand store. Its look rests on 600-weight display type up to 64px, short uppercase labels with open tracking and a sparing azure accent on a near-black canvas. Apply it to a marketing site or the public pages of an app; the tokens and component specs carry the identity.

Spacing and imagery

comfortable density on a 4px base unit; container 1200px; section gap 24px; card padding 16px; element gap 4px; radii cards 28px, links 10px, pills 9999px, badges 5px, inputs 9999px, buttons 9999px; no shadows

Photography, illustration, 3d renders, line icons. Use placeholder or generated imagery only; partner marks are neutral placeholders in the muted text color. Photography is shown under a scrim wherever text overlaps it. Icons are outline style at 20-24px in the text or muted color.

Layout

  1. top navigation: wordmark left, 4-6 text links, primary action right; collapses to a menu sheet under 768px
  2. centered hero: headline, one-line lede and a primary plus secondary action, visual below
  3. metrics band with three or four large figures and captions
  4. feature grid of icon, title and two-line description cells (3-4 columns desktop, 1 column mobile)
  5. tabbed showcase that swaps a panel per tab
  6. FAQ accordion
  7. footer with grouped link columns, legal line and social icons
  8. content sits in a 1200px centered container with 24px side padding (16px on mobile)
  9. sections are separated by 24px of vertical space on desktop, roughly half that on mobile

Guardrails

Experience

  • Keep one primary action style (#0071e3 fill, #ffffff label) and use it once per view; secondary actions stay outlined or text-only.
  • Use the azure accent for small marks only (links, active states, icons), at most two or three times per screen.
  • Buttons and chips are pills; cards keep their own radius so the two read differently.
  • Limit headline sizes to the type scale; the 64px display size appears once per page, in the hero.
  • Separate layers with surface tone and hairlines, not shadows.
  • Keep gradients to backgrounds and decorative fields; they are never a button or text fill.
  • Keep copy short and concrete: one idea per section, with a heading that states the benefit.

Accessibility

  • Text, links, focus rings and input borders use only the verified pairs listed in contrast checks.
  • Focus ring: 2px solid #0066cc with 2px offset on every interactive element.
  • Body text is 16px or larger at 1.5 line height; nothing is smaller than 12px.
  • Decorative colors (dividers and supporting accents) never carry text or the only signal of state.
  • Uppercase labels stay short, use at least 0.05em tracking and keep sentence-case text in the HTML source.
  • Text over photos or gradients sits on a scrim that keeps it at 4.5:1 against the lightest area.
  • Respect prefers-reduced-motion; no parallax or autoplay video without a pause control.

Security

  • Validate every form with a shared zod schema on the client and again in the edge function; reject unknown fields.
  • Rate-limit form endpoints per IP and add a honeypot field; store leads in a Supabase table with RLS allowing insert only for anonymous users and select only for staff.
  • Set a strict Content-Security-Policy, self-host fonts and icons, and avoid third-party scripts beyond privacy-friendly analytics.
  • Open external links with rel="noopener noreferrer" and never put secrets or API keys in client code.
  • Checkout goes through a hosted payment provider; the site never handles card data, and prices are re-validated on the server.

Build prompt

The rules every style in the gallery assumes, then this style’s own ten sections, from goal to guardrails. A build in the style also gets its tokens as a file, so the colors and type above are exact.

The rules every style assumes
### How to use these prompts
Paste an entry's build prompt into your coding agent as the first message. Each prompt names its own stack, tokens and acceptance criteria; the rules below apply to all of them and can be prepended once per project.

### Engineering baseline
- TypeScript strict mode, no `any`, small typed components, feature folders, and one source of truth for design tokens (CSS variables consumed by Tailwind).
- Validate every input with a shared zod schema on the client and again on the server or edge function. Never trust client-side checks alone.
- Show loading, empty and error states for every async view. Surface errors in plain language with a retry, and log details to the console in development only.
- Keep secrets out of the bundle. Only publishable keys (for example a Supabase anon key) belong in client code; service-role keys, API keys and webhooks live in server or edge-function environment variables.

### Data and auth baseline
- Enable Row Level Security on every table before inserting data. Default-deny, then add the narrowest policies the feature needs (for a lead form: insert-only for anonymous users, select for a staff role).
- Store roles in a separate table checked by a security-definer function, never in a user-editable profile field.
- Rate-limit public endpoints (forms, auth, AI calls) and add a honeypot field or captcha to anonymous forms.
- Take payments through a hosted checkout and verify webhooks by signature. Never handle raw card data.

### Accessibility and UX baseline
- Target WCAG 2.2 AA: 4.5:1 contrast for normal text and 3:1 for large text, input borders, focus rings and meaningful icons or chart lines. Every palette in this catalog lists its verified pairs; re-check with a contrast tool after any color change.
- Keep body text at 16px or larger with 1.5 line height, nothing below 12px, no light weights under 24px, and uppercase only for short labels.
- Give every interactive element a visible focus ring, full keyboard support, semantic landmarks, labeled form fields, and alt text on meaningful images.
- Respect `prefers-reduced-motion` for every animation. Give carousels and drag interactions keyboard and button alternatives, and never auto-advance them.
- Build mobile-first and test at 375px, 768px and 1280px.

### Content guardrails
- Use original copy, fictional sample data and placeholder or generated imagery. Do not reuse another product's name, logo, screenshots or marketing text.
- Partner and customer logo rows use neutral placeholder marks. Label demo testimonials and metrics as samples. Collect the minimum personal data a form needs.

### Style preset baseline
- Treat the entry's palette, type scale, radii, spacing and shadows as the complete token set. Do not introduce new colors; derive hover and pressed states by moving one step lighter or darker within the same hue, then re-check contrast.
- Colors marked decorative (dividers, supporting accents) never sit behind text and never carry meaning on their own.
- Fonts are open Google Fonts chosen to match the observed letterforms. Self-host them with `font-display: swap` and keep to the listed weights.
- Keep the signature moves listed for the entry, and keep everything else quiet so they stay recognizable.
- One primary action style per view. Secondary actions are outlined or text-only, and links are distinguishable by more than color (underline or weight).
### Goal
Build a responsive dark-theme marketing site for a fictional consumer brand store in the "Plumestow" style: dark and atmospheric, with 600-weight display type up to 64px, short uppercase labels with open tracking, pill-shaped buttons. Use invented copy and placeholder imagery throughout.

### Stack
React 18 + Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui (Radix), lucide-react, TanStack Query, Motion, zod, Supabase (form submissions only). Design tokens live as CSS variables and are mapped into the Tailwind theme.

### Pages & layout
Home page sections, in order:
- top navigation: wordmark left, 4-6 text links, primary action right; collapses to a menu sheet under 768px
- centered hero: headline, one-line lede and a primary plus secondary action, visual below
- metrics band with three or four large figures and captions
- feature grid of icon, title and two-line description cells (3-4 columns desktop, 1 column mobile)
- tabbed showcase that swaps a panel per tab
- FAQ accordion
- footer with grouped link columns, legal line and social icons
- content sits in a 1200px centered container with 24px side padding (16px on mobile)
- sections are separated by 24px of vertical space on desktop, roughly half that on mobile
Also build a simple contact page with a lead form and a 404 page in the same style. Test at 375px, 768px and 1280px.

- forms: inline validation, disabled submit while sending, success message and retryable error
- mobile menu open and closed states
- hover, focus-visible, active and disabled states for every button style
- reduced-motion variant with no transitions beyond opacity
- out-of-stock product tile with a disabled add button and 'Notify me' alternative
- cart count badge updates after add

### Accessibility
- Text, links, focus rings and input borders use only the verified pairs listed in contrast checks.
- Focus ring: 2px solid #0066cc with 2px offset on every interactive element.
- Body text is 16px or larger at 1.5 line height; nothing is smaller than 12px.

### Security
- Validate every form with a shared zod schema on the client and again in the edge function; reject unknown fields.
- Rate-limit form endpoints per IP and add a honeypot field; store leads in a Supabase table with RLS allowing insert only for anonymous users and select only for staff.
- Set a strict Content-Security-Policy, self-host fonts and icons, and avoid third-party scripts beyond privacy-friendly analytics.
- Open external links with rel="noopener noreferrer" and never put secrets or API keys in client code.
- Checkout goes through a hosted payment provider; the site never handles card data, and prices are re-validated on the server.

### Performance & SEO
- Static generation for every content page; ship no JavaScript to sections that do not need it.
- Images in AVIF/WebP with explicit width and height, lazy-loaded below the fold; preload the hero image and the display font only.
- One h1 per page, descriptive titles and meta descriptions, Open Graph tags with a generated preview image, and a sitemap.
- Target Lighthouse 95+ for performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO.

### Guardrails
- Keep one primary action style (#0071e3 fill, #ffffff label) and use it once per view; secondary actions stay outlined or text-only.
- Use the azure accent for small marks only (links, active states, icons), at most two or three times per screen.
- Buttons and chips are pills; cards keep their own radius so the two read differently.
- Limit headline sizes to the type scale; the 64px display size appears once per page, in the hero.
- Separate layers with surface tone and hairlines, not shadows.
- Keep gradients to backgrounds and decorative fields; they are never a button or text fill.
- Keep copy short and concrete: one idea per section, with a heading that states the benefit.
