Website system
A living reference for the People in the Gardens type scale, colour tokens, card styles, buttons, navigation, spacing, and page rhythm.
Typography
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
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.
Components
Endorsement cards now use a shared shadow, while regular cards use hairline borders and restrained rounded corners.
Endorsement card
“Each image tells a story.”
Shadow: rgba(0,0,0,.16) 3px 8px 32px. Border: 1px solid #d2d2d7. Radius: 18px. Padding: 34px desktop, 24px mobile.
Primary action
Buttons use teal fill, white text, pill radius, 44px minimum height, and a slightly darker hover state. The attention bar uses lime with a separate circular plus link.
Page rhythm
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
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.

global-navigation | All documented pages with shared chrome | Fixed desktop header and primary navigation. |

Settings
These are the working site conventions to preserve when editing the People in the Gardens pages.
peopleinthegardens.com as the public domain. Canonical URLs use https://peopleinthegardens.com/ for the homepage and page-specific paths for subpages.logo-mark.png for header and footer marks. Footer logo should not use a dark filter.book-cover-hero.jpg, sized up to about 460px desktop and min(78%, 360px) mobile, with no shadow.book-cover-hero.jpg, hero-national-day-panorama.png, insider-guidebook-card-background.png, human-story-card-background.png, pitgs-website-blueprint.pdf. Avoid upload hashes, spaces, and generated timestamps unless the date is part of the source.site.css as the central stylesheet for tokens, typography, paragraph rhythm, buttons, cards, footer/nav basics, and responsive defaults. Page-level CSS should only handle page-specific layout.
