flowmanceLiege Design System
Liege is a bright, friendly agency site in black on white with pastel light leaking in from the edges. It feels like a tech-product launch page: confident Inter Tight headlines, one word in an elegant serif italic, soft cyan and pink glows behind the hero, and glossy iridescent 3D objects. Cards are flat, square and pale; the only rounded shapes are the buttons, tags and circles.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- One serif italic word. Each big headline swaps a word or two into Playfair Display italic 500 at the same size: The web–based / marketing agency., What we do.
- Two-tone leads. Lead lines start in black and finish in grey #808080: We build comprehensive digital solutions to efficiently + manage and improve sales funnels.; Trusted by over 4,000 + clients worldwide.
- The gradient pill. The main button is a 30px-radius pill filled with a 45° gradient #CB8BE2 → #2C6393 50% → #48D4E8 and white text: Send a Message ↗.
- The MENU ring. Top right, MENU repeated four times in small uppercase around a two-line hamburger. The ring sits at a different angle in each screenshot.
Liege is a light-only design.

Do’s and don’ts
- Set headlines in Inter Tight 600 and swap one word into Playfair Display italic 500 at the same size.
- Write leads as one sentence in two tones: ink #000000, then ink-subtle #808080.
- Use the 45° gradient pill (#CB8BE2 → #2C6393 → #48D4E8, white text, 30px radius) for the one main action.
- Keep cards and images square, on surface-1 #F7F7FC with no shadow.
- Put soft cyan and pink glows behind hero and work bands, fading to white.
- Set paragraphs in black at 70% opacity.
- Round cards or images; only buttons, tags, fields and circles are round.
- Use Playfair for whole lines, body text or bold weights.
- Use ink-subtle #808080 below 17px semibold; it is 3.9:1 on white and is meant for big two-tone leads and names.
- Fill sections or cards with lilac or cyan; those colours live in the gradient and the glows.
- Add heavy shadows; the two measured shadows are 6–10% alpha and 3px offset.
- Change the button's colour on hover; the gradient stays, only the arrow moves.
- Put text on the lilac #CB8BE2 hover of the circle button; white on it is 2.5:1, so it carries only the white arrow icon.

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.”

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