Typefaces

Libre Franklin and DM Mono already make the sturdy, crafted builder tone, and neither is overused, so the set stays.

• Libre FranklinHeadings: hero 96px 500 at -4%, section heads 48px
• Libre FranklinBody: body 16px
• DM MonoFigures and code: ticker, buttons, table headers and meta, uppercase +0.2em

Layout

1. Mustard ticker bar with monospace event name, date and city repeating
2. Header: wordmark with lighter year numerals left, outlined 'GET YOUR TICKET' button right
3. Two-cell sub-nav: SESSIONS | SPEAKERS split 50/50 with rules
4. Hero: very large brown sans headline over three lines, monospace date/location, outlined ticket and speaker buttons; right-aligned tagline

7. Sessions table: title column and speakers column with square avatars, name and company; View all
8. Workshops table, recap paragraph with gallery, five-tier sponsor logos, footer with legal links

Palette

Warm, crafted, confident, understated, editorial. It feels like a thoughtful indie conference rather than a flashy expo.

• background (cream)#f3f2ec
• text/primary (espresso)#422914
• accent (mustard)#7d5c17
• muted#e4e1d8
• border#cfcabe
• video band blue#1c2f8f

As vibld’s tokens

The palette on the fifteen colour tokens vibld styles a project with, each text colour on the fill it is read on. Marked tokens are solved from the palette, because no swatch held that role at 4.5:1.

Build prompt

The baseline every prompt in the catalog assumes, then this design’s own ten sections, from goal to guardrails.

Copy the baseline and build prompt

### How to use these prompts
Paste a template'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 (full-stack templates)
- Enable Row Level Security on every table before inserting data. Default-deny, then add owner-scoped policies (`auth.uid() = user_id`) and explicit role checks for admin views.
- Store roles in a separate table checked by a security-definer function, never in a user-editable profile field.
- Upload files to private storage buckets with size and MIME limits, and serve them through signed URLs.
- 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 colour 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, labelled form fields, and alt text on meaningful images.
- Respect `prefers-reduced-motion` for every animation. Give drag-and-drop and carousels keyboard and button alternatives.
- Build mobile-first and test at 375px, 768px and 1280px.

### Content guardrails
- Use original copy, fictional sample data and placeholder or licensed imagery. Do not reuse another product's name, logo, screenshots or marketing text.
- Label demo testimonials and metrics as samples. Collect the minimum personal data the feature needs.

### Goal
Build **Makers Forum 26**, a one-day conference site for product builders in a fictional city. Visitors are product managers, designers and engineers deciding whether to buy a ticket; sponsors want visibility. The site must communicate date, place and quality at a glance, list sessions and workshops with speakers, sell two ticket types, and show last year's recap and sponsors.

### Stack
React 18 + TypeScript + Vite, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui (Card, Table, Dialog, Form, Sheet, Toast), lucide-react, Embla Carousel for the recap gallery, Vaul for the mobile drawer, Sonner for toasts, react-hook-form + zod. **Supabase** for `registrations` (and optional speaker CMS tables) with an Edge Function that validates registrations and creates hosted checkout sessions for paid tickets. Everything else can be static content.

### Pages & layout
1. **Home** – mustard ticker repeating "event · date · city" in monospace; header with wordmark (year in a lighter weight) and an outlined "Get your ticket →"; a two-cell sub-nav (Sessions | Speakers). Hero: huge three-line headline, monospace date · city, two outlined buttons, and a short right-aligned tagline. Full-width muted video band with a play/pause control. "Register now": two ticket cards with perks and price. Sessions table (title | speakers with small square avatars, name, company) with "View all". Workshops. Recap: a paragraph with numbers and a photo carousel. Sponsors in five tiers (logo sizes shrink by tier). Footer with code of conduct, privacy and terms.
2. **Sessions**, **Speakers** (grid + detail), **Workshops**, **Register**, **Showcase** (past talks), legal pages, 404.

### Design system
- Tokens: `--background: #f3f2ec`, `--foreground: #422914`, `--primary: #422914`, `--primary-foreground: #f3f2ec`, `--accent: #7d5c17`, `--muted: #e4e1d8`, `--border: #cfcabe` (decorative rules), `--input-border: #968b70`, `--radius: 0`.
- Fonts: Libre Franklin (400/500) and DM Mono (uppercase labels, +0.2em). Scale: 12 / 14 / 16 / 20 / 28 / 48 / clamp(56px, 8vw, 96px) with -0.04em on display.
- Spacing: 8px base; sections 128px; tables with 24px row padding and 1px rules.
- Motion: ticker 35s linear; reveals 500ms fade/rise; arrow translate 4px on hover.

### Components & interactions
Ticker (pausable), outlined button (hover fills espresso with cream text, focus ring, disabled), sub-nav cells (active underline), ticket card (sold out, few left badge, selected), sessions table (responsive: collapses to stacked cards on mobile), speaker avatar group (+N overflow), speaker dialog (bio, sessions), video band (poster, play/pause, reduced-motion shows poster only), registration form (fields: name, email, company, role, ticket; errors; submitting; redirect to checkout; success page), sponsor tier grid.

### Data & state
`Session{id,title,track,startsAt,room,speakerIds[]}`, `Workshop{id,title,level,capacity,speakerIds[]}`, `Speaker{id,name,company,role,photo,bio}`, `Ticket{id,name,price,perks[],remaining}`, `Sponsor{name,tier,logo,url}`, `registrations(id,name,email,company,role,ticket_id,status,created_at)`. Seed nine fictional speakers from invented companies, 12 sessions, four workshops and placeholder sponsor marks.

### Accessibility
Espresso on cream is ~12:1. The mustard accent is deepened to `#7d5c17` so cream ticker text on it reaches 5.5:1 and mustard text on cream passes too. The registration form uses `--input-border: #968b70` (3:1+); `#cfcabe` rules are decorative. The ticker is `aria-hidden` with the same info in visible static text, and stops under reduced motion. Tables use `<th scope>`; on mobile, stacked cards keep labels. Avatars have name alt text or are decorative when the name is adjacent. Video has captions and no autoplay with sound. Visible focus outlines.
Verified contrast: body text on cream #422914 on #f3f2ec = 12.01:1; cream label on espresso primary button #f3f2ec on #422914 = 12.01:1; cream ticker text on mustard bar #f3f2ec on #7d5c17 = 5.48:1; mustard accent text on cream #7d5c17 on #f3f2ec = 5.48:1; espresso text on muted surface #422914 on #e4e1d8 = 10.3:1.

### Security
Registration via Edge Function: zod validation, honeypot, per-IP rate limit, unique email per ticket type. RLS: `registrations` insert only through the function (service key in function env), no public select; organizers read through an authenticated role check. Payment only via hosted checkout; confirm via signed webhook. No secrets in the client. Sponsor links `rel="noopener noreferrer sponsored"`.

### Performance & SEO
Event JSON-LD (dates, location, offers), OG image with the headline, prerendered pages. Lazy-load speaker photos and gallery; video uses `preload="none"` with a poster. Lighthouse 90+.

### Guardrails
- Fictional event, speakers, companies and sponsor marks; no real brands or logos.
- Recap numbers labeled as sample until real.
- Store minimal attendee data.
- Small typed components, no `any`, visible errors.
- Done when: ticker, hero and tables render from data; registration validates and hands off to checkout; tables are readable on mobile; ticker contrast and motion issues are solved; legal pages and 404 exist.
