Most design conversations start with “go find three websites you like.” That is homework, and
it usually produces three sites from three different industries that cannot be reconciled.
So here is the shortcut. Each card below is a complete direction — colors and
typefaces chosen to work together, not a menu of parts to assemble. The words are deliberately the
same in every preview so the only thing changing is the design.
Pick one or two, hit Copy my picks, and paste the codes into your build brief.
Nothing here is binding — it tells me which direction to run at, and we refine from there.
Already been sent a build brief? The picker is built into step 2 of it,
so you can choose there instead — this page is just the bigger, slower look.

None of these quite right? Say so — these are a starting point, not the whole universe. Tell me which
one is closest and what is wrong with it, and that is usually a faster route than starting from blank.
