flowmanceLawyers Design System
Lawyers is a quiet, trustworthy law-firm site in cool greys. The page sits on a pale blue-grey canvas (#E9EAEC), headlines are Inter 600 in near-black navy, and everything else (body text, buttons, icon circles, links) is one slate grey, #63666D. There is no accent colour; warmth comes only from natural-light office photography.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- The two-tone headline. Big headings run in ink and then switch to ink-muted grey for the second half: Providing top-tier / legal services., Explore the feedback and / testimonials from our valued clients.
- The diagonal photo cut. Hero, testimonial and CTA photos are cut on a 45° diagonal, so a person seems to step out of a triangle into the grey canvas or the navy band.
- The ghost category title. Each practice area opens with a full-width white band (01 - Corporate Law), then the category name in 80px light grey (#63666D at 25%) that the white service cards overlap from below.
- Underlined text links. Secondary actions are Learn More, Meet attorney, Get a Consultation: 16px semibold with a 2px underline that wipes across on hover.
Lawyers is a light-only design.

Do’s and don’ts
- Set the page on canvas #E9EAEC and put content in white (#FFFFFF) cards with a 7px radius.
- Split big headings into two tones: ink #212530, then ink-muted #63666D.
- Use the underlined link-underline for most actions and save the slate button-primary (#63666D, 7px) for forms and one main action.
- Cut large photos on a 45° diagonal and anchor them to a page edge.
- Use thin line icons in #212530 with the soft dot behind.
- Keep headings at weight 600 and body at 500, both in Inter.
- Add an accent colour, gradients or drop shadows.
- Use ink-ghost (#63666D at 25%) or ink-faint #C7C7C7 for readable text. They are only for the 80px ghost titles and icon dots.
- Make the nav sticky or give it a background; it sits on the hero.
- Use a serif. Newsreader is loaded but not part of the design.
- Round cards beyond 15px or square off the pill tags and nav links.
- Put photos in plain rectangles where the section uses the diagonal cut.
