01 — Light & Dark Mode

Built for Both

Toggle the button in the top right to see the whole guide switch live. Every color below has a light-mode and dark-mode value tuned for the same comfortable reading contrast — nothing recolors itself, it just adapts.

02 — Color

Color Palette

Base colors come straight from the logo. Lumen Violet is the primary accent — CTAs, eyebrows, and sub-headings. Cerulean is a second, supporting accent reserved for tags, links, and active navigation states, so it never competes with violet for attention. Gladiator Blue stays the everyday brand color for secondary buttons and UI surfaces.

Accessible by design: both accents carry two values — a bright "fill" for buttons/backgrounds (constant across themes) and a deepened "text" variant for light mode. Lumen Violet: #B583F5 fill / #6B2FBF text. Cerulean: #7B9EFF fill / #2B5BA8 text. That keeps every text use at or above WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1) in both themes instead of just looking good in one.
03 — Typography

Type System

Rajdhani carries headlines — condensed, geometric, and athletic, the same quality that reads well on a jersey or a banner. Quantico handles labels, eyebrows, nav, and buttons with a tighter, more structural voice. Inter stays the body workhorse, set in a soft accessible gray rather than flat black/white so long paragraphs are easy on the eyes.

Spacing, Radius & Shadow

The structural tokens underneath every component — an 8px spacing rhythm, a small set of corner radii, and three shadow depths. Reusable well beyond this page: same tokens should drive the website, a future customer portal, or printed order forms.

Buttons, Cards, Alerts & Forms

Lumen Violet carries primary actions, eyebrows, and card labels. Cerulean handles tags, links, and active navigation. Cards, tags, and the eyebrow share one signature treatment: a partially transparent fill with a 1px tinted border, instead of a flat solid panel. Green/amber/red stay strictly functional (success / caution / error), never brand accents.

07 — Why It Works

Design Rationale

The short version of why each major call was made — useful when explaining the system to anyone outside this conversation.

Accent Strategy
2 Accents

Violet Leads, Cerulean Supports

Lumen Violet stays the one color that means "act here" — CTAs, eyebrows, sub-headings. Cerulean covers the quieter, high-frequency UI moments (tags, links, active nav) so violet never gets diluted by overuse.

Typography
3 Faces

Rajdhani · Quantico · Inter

Rajdhani's condensed, athletic geometry carries headlines the way it would on a jersey or banner. Quantico handles labels, eyebrows, nav, and buttons with a tighter, structural voice. Inter stays the body workhorse so long-form copy stays easy to read.

Color Discipline
AA+

Every Pairing Checked for Contrast

Every text/background combination in both themes meets or exceeds WCAG AA (4.5:1) — including Cerulean, which needed its own deepened light-mode value to hold up next to Lumen Violet's. Functional colors (success/warning/danger) stay strictly out of brand use so they always mean what they say.

Component Treatment
1 Pattern

Tinted Glass, Used on Purpose

The transparent-fill-plus-border treatment is reserved for tags, badges, eyebrows, alerts, and cards — never ambient decoration. That keeps it reading as a deliberate signal instead of a trend applied everywhere.

Site Map & Page Templates

A visual first pass at how soulgladiator.com is structured and what each page actually looks like — built in the same fonts, colors, and components as the brand standard above so this reads as "the plan," not a separate wireframe doc.

08 — Site Hierarchy

~10 Pages, Not 20+

Every service gets its own page because the buyer and the pitch differ — but the page count is sized for a 2-person shop maintaining this by hand, not for SEO maximalism.

11 — How This Gets Built

The Mechanics

This document is plain static HTML on purpose — no login, no hosting setup, just a link John can open on his phone while you talk it through. The production site is a separate build: WordPress + Oxygen Builder, hosted on the Dreamhost account already in place.

One shared style system

The tokens above (fonts, colors, spacing, component styles) get set up once in Oxygen's Global Classes & Style Guide — same idea as a shared stylesheet, just configured inside Oxygen's UI instead of a hand-written CSS file. Change a color there, it updates everywhere.

Image sliders & galleries

Oxygen/Breakdance ship native slider and gallery elements — no custom JavaScript to write or maintain. The placeholder boxes above show exactly what needs to be shot or supplied before a page goes live.

Forms, built in

Your lifetime license includes the Oxygen Forms add-on free — Quote and Contact submissions get built as real multi-step/simple forms with no third-party form backend needed.

Editable after launch

Because it's WordPress, John or Roshona can eventually log in and update text or swap a photo without a code edit — something a static-file approach couldn't offer. You still have full code-level control in Oxygen whenever you want it.
