flowmanceTraining Design System
Training is a bright, approachable online-course site. It is white and roomy, with near-black type and buttons, and a single soft baby blue (#89CFF0) used for small highlights: the active nav link, a hand-drawn underline in the hero, price tags, event months and footer headings. One dark charcoal band (#26272B) holds a carousel of colourful course cards and breaks up the white page.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Blue blob portraits. People are cut into soft, irregular blob shapes on pale blue, with angled blue stripes behind them (a "stacked waves" SVG anchored to the right of the hero).
- The brush underline. One word in the hero title (future.) gets a hand-drawn baby-blue stroke under it.
- Search-first hero. Instead of only a button, the hero has a wide search bar: white, 80px tall, a magnifier icon, a faint blue glow shadow and a black Search for Classes button inside it, followed by two checkmark bullets.
- Abstract-art course cards. Course thumbnails are flat geometric artwork (violet waves, blue facets, green blocks) rather than photos, with a white level pill and a blue price pill floating top-right.
Training is light-first, with one dark band.

Do’s and don’ts
- Use black primary #020202 buttons with white text, 5px radius, and a ↗ arrow; hover to #26272B.
- Keep #89CFF0 for highlights: the active nav link, one brush underline per hero, price pills, event months.
- Set headlines in Inter 600 with −2px tracking at 71px and −1px at 34px.
- Put portraits in soft blue blobs and use flat abstract artwork for course thumbnails.
- Use one dark #26272B band for the course carousel, with white cards and a soft −20px-spread shadow.
- Keep body text black at 17px / 500.
- Make filled buttons blue or use #89CFF0 for body text or text under 14px bold.
- Rely on white-on-#89CFF0 for important text; it is a low-contrast pairing kept only for short 14px / 600 price pills.
- Use Finger Paint or a second typeface.
- Use grey (#7E7E7E) for anything longer than a one-line meta.
- Add heavy shadows beyond the card shadow and the blue search glow.
- Use photos for course thumbnails or put busy imagery behind text.

The whole design system in one markdown file, written for AI: every color, type style, spacing value, component and motion rule, plus do's, don'ts and a ready prompt.
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/training.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
What it is
Every token as data, in the W3C Design Tokens format: colors with their roles, type styles, radius, spacing, and component tokens that point at them.
Best for
Figma (Tokens Studio), Style Dictionary and other design-token tools, and build scripts.
How to use it
- In Figma, open Tokens Studio, choose Import, and pick
tokens.json - Or point Style Dictionary’s

What it is
A Tailwind CSS v4 theme: every color, font, type style, radius and spacing value becomes a Tailwind utility, like bg-canvas, text-headline-lg or rounded-md.

How to use it
- Save
theme.cssnext to your main CSS file - Import it after Tailwind:
@import "tailwindcss"; @import "./theme.css"; - Use the classes:

Best for
Any website: plain CSS, Webflow custom code, Framer, WordPress.
How to use it
- Add it to your stylesheet, or in Webflow paste it into Site settings → Custom code inside a
<style>tag - Use the variables anywhere:
