flowmanceAvocats Design System
Avocats is a serious, premium law-firm site set at night: a deep indigo-black page (#070418), white semibold BDO Grotesk headlines, and gold as the single accent, used for gradient pill buttons, outlined section tags and round quote badges. Photography is warm and human (lawyers at desks, the statue of Lady Justice, clients in conversation) and is darkened where text sits on it.
Signatures:
- Gold gradient pills. Every call to action is a 30px pill filled with linear-gradient(50deg, #EECC6E, #BD9936) with white text, often paired with a round gold phone button: Schedule Consultation, +1 449 143 007, Browse All Articles.
- Gold outline tags. Several sections open with a small pill outlined in 2px #EECC6E and gold text: About us, Testimonials.
- Scroll-lit statements. Large statements (For over four decades, we've been champions of justice…) start at 24% opacity and brighten to white as they scroll in, so part of the line reads grey.
- Gold quote badges. Testimonial cards carry a large gold circle with white quote marks, centred above the text.
Avocats is a dark-only design.

Do’s and don’ts
- Keep the page #070418 and alternate with #151324 bands.
- Use the gold gradient (#EECC6E → #BD9936, 50°) for every filled button, with a 30px radius and 50px height.
- Open sections with a gold outline tag (2px #EECC6E, 30px radius, padding 8px 18px).
- Set headlines in BDO Grotesk 600 with −1px tracking at 40px, paragraphs at white 80%.
- Darken photos with a #070418 overlay where text sits on them, and fade them into the page.
- Show the phone number in the nav and hero.
- Put small white text on gold: white on #EECC6E is about 1.6:1, so keep button labels at 16.8px semibold or larger and never use gold fills behind body text.
- Add a second accent colour or let the leftover #0019FD show.
- Use pure black (#000000) instead of the indigo #070418.
- Add drop shadows; use band steps and white 3% cards instead.
- Use Newsreader or another serif; it is loaded but not part of the design.
- Leave input text at the measured #333333 or #211F54; use ink.

DESIGN.mdin your project and mention it in your request, or save it as.cursor/rules/avocats.mdc - For the rule file, start it with a front-matter block that sets
alwaysApply: true, so every chat uses it - Ask: “Build a pricing page using DESIGN.md.” Cursor follows the colors, fonts, spacing and rules

DESIGN.mdin the project root - Add one line to
CLAUDE.md: “Follow DESIGN.md for all UI.” - Ask for any page or component; Claude reads the file first
- Attach
DESIGN.mdto the chat (or paste it in) - Ask: “Build a landing page in this design system.”
- Keep the file in the chat or project knowledge, so follow-up pages stay on style

- Add it to your stylesheet, or in Webflow paste it into Site settings → Custom code inside a
<style>tag - Use the variables anywhere:
