flowmanceSkylift Design System
Skylift is a calm, polished SaaS landing page in dark navy. The page is #12141D, cards step up to #1E2028, and every heading is white Inter Tight semibold. Colour comes from two sources only: electric-blue gradient artwork (the hero card, an isometric illustration) and warm lifestyle photography of smiling people with floating finance widgets.
Signatures that make it recognisable:
- Two-tone leads. Headlines and leads change tone mid-sentence: The virtual (white) / marketing firm. (faded); In the world of digital products, whether it's a website or an app, (white) delivering a smooth and enriched user experience is essential. (60% white).
- Dark pills with ↗. The main actions are #1E2028 pills, 58px tall with a 30px radius and a thin ↗ after the label: Contact us ↗, View case ↗. Even on top of photos, the button stays dark.
- Paired 12px cards. The hero is two equal 12px-radius cards side by side: a blue gradient text card and a portrait photo. The same split (art or photo beside text) repeats down the page.
- Centred project overlays. Work cards are full images with the project name and a View case ↗ pill centred near the bottom edge.
Skylift is a dark-only design.

Do’s and don’ts
- Use #12141D for the page and #1E2028 for every card, button and footer tag.
- Write each section as a full-sentence headline-lg plus a two-tone title-lead that fades to 60% white.
- Use the dark 30px pill (58px tall, padding 19px 39px) with a thin ↗ for main actions.
- Round cards and images 12px, and pair art or photo with text in two equal columns.
- Keep paragraphs at white 70% (opacity: .7).
- Use electric-blue gradient art and bright lifestyle photos for colour.
- Add shadows, borders on cards, or a third surface tone.
- Use blue or the pink-to-cyan gradient for text or ordinary buttons; it belongs to the one round subscribe button.
- Use grey hex values for muted text; use white with alpha.
- Make buttons white or rectangular; the only white pills are the small category tags.
- Use letter spacing, uppercase, or weights above 600.
- Put 60% white (ink-subtle) on anything smaller than the 26px lead.

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:
