flowmanceLiege Design System
Liege is a light, airy marketing-agency site. It feels like a clean product launch page: a white canvas, black Inter Tight headlines at weight 600, generous empty space, and colour that arrives only through soft pastel glows, iridescent 3D renders and one violet-to-cyan gradient button. The live brand mark is spelled Liège with the grave accent.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- One italic serif phrase per headline. Section and hero titles are Inter Tight 600 with one or two words swapped to Playfair Display italic 500 at the same size: The *web–based* marketing agency., What *we do*.
- Half-grey lead sentences. Lead lines are 26px weight 600; the first half is black and the closing words turn grey (#808080): Build a customer-focused business approach., Trusted by over 4,000 clients worldwide.
- The rotating MENU ring. There are no visible nav links. Top right sits a 2-line hamburger inside a circle of the word MENU repeated four times, which spins; it opens a full-screen white menu of 90px links.
- Pastel mesh glows and square cards. Cyan and lilac blurs bleed in from the page edges, while every card, tile and image keeps square (0px) corners on #F7F7FC.

Do’s and don’ts
- Pair Inter Tight 600 with one Playfair Display italic 500 phrase at the same size in every big heading.
- End lead lines in ink-subtle #808080 while the start stays ink #000000, both at 26px weight 600.
- Keep cards and images square (0px) on surface-1 #F7F7FC; save radius for pills, circles and fields.
- Use the gradient pill (#CB8BE2 → #2C6393 → #48D4E8, 30px radius) once per screen and outline pills (2px #000000) for tags.
- Set paragraphs at 18px weight 500 in black at 70% opacity.
- Let colour come from pastel glows and saturated 3D or product imagery on a white #FFFFFF canvas.
- Put ink-subtle #808080 or ink-faint #A1A1A1 on text under 17px or on paragraphs; they only work on 17px+ semibold names and large lead lines.
- Round cards or images, or add drop shadows to them.
- Add visible nav links to the header; the MENU ring and overlay are the navigation.
- Use the gradient on text, borders or backgrounds, or a fourth accent colour.
- Use uppercase outside the footer pill tags, or negative letter spacing on headings.
- Make scroll reveals faster than 1000ms or hovers slower than 300ms.

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor and v0, or any other AI tool that builds pages or code.
How to use it
- Put
DESIGN.mdin your project and mention it in your request, or save it as.cursor/rules/liege.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
- Put
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:
