Comet Design System
Comet is a bright, airy startup template. It is mostly white space and near-black Inter Tight in weight 600, with one electric-blue button colour, soft grey fills and very round 30px cards. The tone is friendly SaaS: a smiling cut-out portrait in the hero, floating UI chips, and headlines that fade from black into grey halfway through the sentence.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Two-tone sentences. Leads and kickers start in full ink and finish in a faded grey: "Comet stands out as a leader among Webflow templates, offering designs that users love and prefer." (the second half faded), "Leading businesses choose Comet.", "Write a brief tagline here that supports the headline above."
- Cut-out hero with floating chips. The portrait sits on a pale grey oval, with a rotated blue Webflow tile, a hand-drawn arrow, a hand-drawn scribble under the word "building" and a white "Daily spending" bar-chart card overlapping the bottom-right corner. Faint diagonal hairlines run across the hero background.
- Centred-logo nav. Social icons on the left, the "Comet" logo with a sunburst glyph in the centre, Cart [0], a 1px vertical divider and a 2-line hamburger on the right.
- A giant scrolling word. "Recent work" runs at 7vw and is scaled up by scroll until single letters fill the screen, before the project grid.
Comet is a light-only design with one saturated band: the violet gradient metrics strip.

Do’s and don’ts
- Keep the page white (#FFFFFF) with near-black #060609 text in Inter Tight 600 for every heading.
- Write leads and kickers as two-tone sentences: first half in ink, second half at 40% (ink-faint).
- Use the blue button-primary (#0058F8, 8px radius, 54px) for transactional actions and the grey 30px pill for "Get in touch".
- Round cards and images at 30px and fill quiet cards with secondary (#C7C7C7 at 20%).
- Set paragraphs at 17px / 500 with the 70% opacity (ink-muted).
- Give one band per page the violet gradient (#331CD2 → #483EFD) with white 96px metrics.
- Add box shadows; depth comes from grey fills and overlap.
- Use blue for decoration, borders or headings, except the featured plan's 2px border and the "Most Popular" tag.
- Use ink-subtle #777777 for paragraphs: it sits at 4.48:1 on white, so keep it to placeholders and 16px+ meta.
- Use weights above 600 except the 700 uppercase footer tag, or add letter spacing to headings.
- Mix radii outside the scale: 8px buttons, 30px cards and pills, 50px tags, circles for avatars.
- Run text animations longer than about 1.25s or loop anything but the logo marquee.

CLAUDE.md: “Follow DESIGN.md for all UI.” - Ask for any page or component; Claude reads the file first
- Attach

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