Signature moves
deep-navy dev-tool canvas with brand-pair
a deep navy #000d25 page (dev-credible without pure black) carries a single saturated brand-pair (red + royal blue + cyan accent) with light slate-grey #cacdd8 body text
offset floating-cube drift
three cube-float keyframes (cube-float-1/2/3) at slightly different durations animate isometric 3D illustrations so the drift feels natural rather than synchronised, with drop-shadows simulating physical lighting
product-mode tabbed architecture cards
a two-card product-visualisation layout (text-left card plus isometric diagram right) sits under product-mode tabs with real architecture diagrams, and period-terminated H2s give a confident editorial register
