Website system

Brand & Website Settings

A living reference for the People in the Gardens type scale, colour tokens, card styles, buttons, navigation, spacing, and page rhythm.

Typography

Brand paragraph style in use

These values are taken from _PitGs.-FONT_Paragraph-style.pdf and are centralized in site.css so all pages inherit the same editorial paragraph system.

Colour

Brand colour tokens

The system is white, soft grey, dark ink, deep teal, and lime. Teal carries actions and authority; lime is reserved for campaign energy and dark-section accents.

Page rhythm

Homepage section colour sequence

The homepage alternates calm white, soft grey, teal, black photography, and a lighter campaign close. Keep this progression unless the section content changes significantly.

Element labels

Inspectable website label system

Visible chips below show how Open Design-facing elements are labelled with data-od-id. Use these names when pointing at sections, cards, controls, or documentation samples.

Naming rules

Labels are stable, kebab-case handles for meaningful visible regions. They are meant for inspection, commenting, and future editing. Decorative wrappers, spacers, and tiny purely visual elements should stay unlabelled.
