flowmancePortfolyoX Design System
PortfolyoX is a loud, single-person designer portfolio. The whole page sits on a flat mint green, and the type and UI on it are pure black (white only on photos and inside buttons): a name set in uppercase Unbounded at billboard size, a portrait cut into the letters, black pill buttons and 2px black rules. Project work runs as wide, square-cornered image cards that carry most of the other colour on the page, alongside the violet portrait square and two small category tags.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- The layered name. The hero spells the owner's name (PARIE / DOE) in display-hero at 274px across two lines, and a portrait on a violet square sits between the letter layers: some letters pass in front of the photo, others behind it (z-index on .hero-title.first).
- Mint everywhere. #74CBAE (the Webflow variable is misleadingly called --ghost-white) fills the hero and the .page-content wrapper, so every section, including the nav, sits on the same green. There are no alternating bands.
- Uppercase Unbounded for all UI. The body tag itself is text-transform: uppercase in Unbounded; paragraphs and list items switch to Inter Tight in sentence case, and the small category pills and footer copyright are Inter Tight too.
- Black outline geometry. 270px outlined skill circles, 50px outlined FAQ toggles, 3px underlines under section titles and a 2px timeline track: drawn in black on green (the track at 15%).

Do’s and don’ts
- Put every section on canvas #74CBAE and keep type on the green and all rules ink #000000.
- Set headings and labels in uppercase Unbounded 500; paragraphs in Inter Tight 18px weight 600.
- Use the black button-primary pill (40px radius, 60px tall, 20px 45px padding) for the one main action.
- Draw outlines and dividers at 2px solid black, and underline section titles at 3px.
- Keep photos square-cornered and full-width in the work section.
- Use circles for secondary shapes: 150px black buttons, 270px outlined skills, 50px toggles.
- Add white or grey bands, cards with shadows, or a second background tone.
- Use grey or muted body text; the template keeps paragraphs in full black.
- Round images or project cards.
- Use tag-green #00E20F with white text for anything but a short 14px category pill; white on that green is low contrast. Prefer tag-orange #E25300 for longer labels.
- Set Unbounded in sentence case or above weight 600 for headings.
- Animate longer than 600ms outside the 1000ms page fade.

Best for
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/portfolyox.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:
