Marketina Design System
Marketina is a clean, white agency site with a gallery feel. Black Inter Tight headlines sit on a white page ruled by faint vertical lines, and the colour comes entirely from glossy abstract renders: an iridescent sphere, liquid ribbons, chrome shapes. The interface itself is black and white with one grey.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Sentences that fade to grey. Lead statements start in black and switch to #999999 halfway through: Our integrated digital frameworks are meticulously (black) designed to streamline sales funnels. (grey).
- Vertical guide lines. Thin vertical lines run down the page about every 63px, each a gradient white 10% → black 50% → white 90%, so they are faint and vanish at top and bottom.
- The rotating MENU ring. The menu trigger is a thin + inside a ring of MENU MENU MENU MENU set on a circle, which turns as you scroll. Social icons sit top-left and the bow-tie logo is centred.
- Outlined giant numbers. Metrics are 120px figures with transparent fill and a thin black outline (7,000+, 10, 5.5M) that rise out of a mask.

Do’s and don’ts
- Keep the page white (#FFFFFF) with black (#000000) text and faint vertical gradient guide lines.
- Split lead statements into a black first half and a #999999 second half at the same size and weight.
- Use the black 5px-radius button-primary (17px weight 600, ↗) and hover it to #424242.
- Show metrics as 120px outlined figures with filled 17px labels.
- Frame project images with an 18px radius and put the name and grey categories on one line underneath.
- Use black blocks (testimonial card, footer) with white text for contrast moments.
- Add a brand or accent colour; colour belongs to the renders.
- Use ink-subtle #999999 for full paragraphs or text under 17px. It is only 2.85:1 on white, so keep it for 17px+ meta and the faded half of large statements.
- Turn the buttons into pills; pills are only for tags.
- Add shadows or glass effects.
- Use stock photography of people or offices.
- Speed entrances up below 1000ms or add bounce.

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

<style>tag - Use the variables anywhere:
