Courtney Witt Counseling
www.cwittcounseling.com/A counsellor's site that makes safety its whole argument - a warm cream-and-teal system, a script wordmark and a serif headline, building to one big full-bleed teal statement: "Here, it's safe to put the armor down."

Do / Don't
Reference it for
- Reassurance as the central message: clearing a whole full-bleed band to land one safety statement ("it's safe to put the armor down").
- A warm-but-grounded cream + deep-teal + terracotta palette - calm and human, with the teal signalling depth and steadiness.
- A script wordmark + serif emotional headlines + grotesque body for a personal, warm voice.
- A plain who-and-where line (audience + locations/teletherapy) that orients the visitor quickly.
- Gentle motion that protects the calm, safe register.
Do not copy
- The literal Courtney Witt script wordmark, portrait and the exact teal #1e434b / terracotta palette (re-skin to the practitioner's own).
- Brandon Grotesque + the serif if licence-bound - substitute comparable faces.
- The Squarespace DOM and Typekit/script load. Rebuild lean on Astro.
- The specific "armor down" copy - reproduce the one-statement full-bleed PATTERN with the practitioner's own reassuring line.
Signature moves
full-bleed single-statement reassurance band
the page builds to one full-bleed deep-teal section holding a single centred serif statement ('Here, it's safe to put the armor down...'), clearing everything else away so the reassurance gets total focus and the visitor feels the safety it describes (absence as argument).
name-the-feeling then resolve
the copy first names the visitor's guarded inner state ('competent on the outside, cold and disconnected inside') and then answers it with the vivid 'armor down' reassurance, so the safety statement lands as a personal answer rather than a platitude.
warm-but-grounded cream/teal/terracotta system
a warm cream canvas with a deep-teal focal band and a terracotta accent block, a script wordmark and serif emotional headlines, feels safe, human and steady - the teal signalling depth, the cream and terracotta keeping it warm.
