## 0. THEME SPECIFICATION — "ELECTRIC STUDIO"

- **Style:** Bold, Clean, Professional, High Contrast — **Era:** 2024–2026 Studio Clean.
- **Keywords:** split panel, two-panel, white top, blue bottom, brand marks, Manrope, high contrast, professional, clean, quote typography.
- **Visual Effects:** Two-panel vertical split (light panel on top, blue panel on bottom), 4px accent bar on panel edges, quote typography as the hero element, minimal confident spacing, smooth 300ms transitions.
- **Palette → Token Mapping:** Dark Black `#0a0a0a` → `--text-primary` (light mode), `--bg-primary` (dark mode), footer background · Pure White `#ffffff` → replaced by `#fefefe` (see exception clause in 1.2) · Accent Blue `#4361ee` → `--primary` · Dark Blue `#2d3abe` → `--secondary` · Light Grey `#f5f5f5` → `--bg-secondary` · Medium Grey `#888888` → `--text-secondary` (large/meta text only — see 3.3).
- **Signature classes (preserve verbatim, bound to variables):**

```css
.split-top    { background: var(--bg-primary); color: var(--text-primary); }
.split-bottom { background: var(--primary); color: var(--text-on-primary); }
.accent-bar   { width: 4px; background: var(--primary); }
.quote-hero   { font-size: clamp(2rem, 5vw, 4rem); font-weight: 800; line-height: 1.1; }
```

## 1. STRICT RULES & ARCHITECTURE

**1.1 CSS-First Architecture & Zero Inline CSS**
- **No Inline CSS:** the `style="..."` attribute is forbidden anywhere in `index.html`.
- **Class/ID Selectors Only:** every design property, layout rule, and state lives in `style.css`.
- **Minimal HTML Modifications:** markup stays semantic and style-agnostic — re-theming the site must require editing `style.css` only.

**1.2 CSS Variables (`var(--...)`) & Theme Tokens**
Store all visual tokens in `:root`:

```css
:root {
  --font-base: 'Manrope', sans-serif;

  --primary: #4361ee;
  --secondary: #2d3abe;
  --bg-primary: #fefefe;
  --bg-secondary: #f5f5f5;
  --bg-footer: #0a0a0a;
  --text-primary: #0a0a0a;
  --text-secondary: #888888;        /* large/meta text only — see 3.3 */
  --text-secondary-strong: #6b6b6b; /* AA-compliant grey for small body copy */
  --text-on-primary: #fefefe;       /* text on blue panels & primary buttons */
  --text-success: #15803d;
  --text-error: #dc2626;
  --border-default: #e5e5e5;
  --border-success: #16a34a;
  --border-error: #dc2626;

  --radius-sm: 4px;  --radius-md: 8px;  --radius-lg: 16px;
  --shadow-sm: 0 1px 2px rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.08);
  --shadow-md: 0 12px 32px rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.14);

  --spacing-gap: 1.5rem;
  --transition-fast: 150ms;
  --transition-normal: 300ms;
  --ease-standard: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);

  --z-dropdown: 1000;  --z-modal: 2000;  --z-toast: 3000;
}
```

- **Contrast Pairing:** every light background token pairs with a dark text token, and every dark/blue background token pairs with a light text token — enforced in both themes, not just the default.
- **Light Mode Background:** never pure white. **Exception clause:** the source spec lists `#ffffff` for the top panel; per the near-white mandate, implement every white as `#fefefe` (visually identical, avoids pure white).
- **Border Radius & Shadows / Spacing & Transitions / Elevation:** consume exclusively via the tokens above; no one-off hex or millisecond values.

**1.3 Mandatory Dark Mode Support**
- **Implementation:** define dark tokens under **both** `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)` and a `.dark` class scope (class always wins); declare `color-scheme: light` / `dark` in each scope so native controls match. Dark mapping: `--bg-primary: #0a0a0a; --bg-secondary: #161616; --bg-footer: #111111; --text-primary: #f5f5f5; --text-secondary: #a0a0a0; --text-secondary-strong: #b8b8b8; --border-default: #262626; --text-success: #4ade80; --text-error: #f87171; --border-success: #4ade80; --border-error: #f87171;` keep `--primary: #4361ee` for large accents and add `--primary-bright: #6c84f4` for small blue text/links on dark backgrounds (AA).
- **Theme Switching:** `.split-top` becomes `#0a0a0a` with light text; `.split-bottom` switches to `--secondary` (`#2d3abe`) with `#fefefe` text; accent bars on blue panels use `--text-on-primary`. All variables must flip with zero HTML restructuring.
- **Persistence:** store the user's choice in `localStorage` (key `theme`, values `light`/`dark`), falling back to `prefers-color-scheme` on first visit. A visible toggle control (hero top-right, repeated in footer) exposes state with correct `aria-pressed` and a dynamic `aria-label` ("Switch to dark mode" / "Switch to light mode"). Because base dark styles come from the media query, the first paint matches the OS preference without flash; the saved class overrides it on load.

**1.4 Flexbox Layout & Mobile-First Alignment**
- **Default Alignment Rule:** every flex container defaults to `align-items: center` (`items-center`) unless an exception is explicitly justified in a CSS comment (e.g., equal-height card columns use `stretch`).
- **Mobile-Friendly First:** all flex layouts are responsive out of the box — rows collapse to columns below ~768px (`flex-col md:flex-row` pattern); no horizontal scrolling at any viewport from 320px up.

**1.5 Framework Default & Tailwind CSS Integration**
- Use **Tailwind CSS** (Play CDN or compiled) or clean custom CSS organized through Tailwind's `@layer` / `@apply` directives.
- Every utility must map back to CSS variables or the semantic class set: `.btn`, `.card`, `.input-group`, `.split-top`, `.split-bottom`, `.accent-bar`, `.quote-hero`. Theme changes happen in tokens only — no one-off hex values in markup-level classes.

**1.6 Typography & Icons (Google Fonts Mandatory)**
- **Text:** load **Manrope** from Google Fonts (weights 400, 500, 600, 700, 800) via `<link>`; bind to `--font-base` and apply globally. Display/headlines: 800 with tight tracking (−0.02em to −0.03em); subheads and buttons: 600–700; body: 400/500.
- **Icons:** Google **Material Symbols** (Rounded) via the official stylesheet. Raw inline SVGs, third-party icon fonts, and local icon files are forbidden. Decorative icons get `aria-hidden="true"`. Required symbols: `bolt` (brand mark), `format_quote` (hero/testimonials), `arrow_forward` (CTAs), `check` (pricing), `expand_more` (FAQ chevron), `dark_mode`/`light_mode` (theme toggle), `progress_activity` (loading spinner).

## 2. COMPONENT DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

**2.1 Button Component Requirements**
- **Default:** `.btn` — `display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 0.5rem;` Manrope 600, `border-radius: var(--radius-md)`, `transition: var(--transition-normal) var(--ease-standard)`, minimum touch target 44×44px.
- **Variants:** `.btn--primary` (bg `--primary`, text `--text-on-primary`) and `.btn--secondary` (transparent, 1.5px `currentColor` border). Inside blue panels, `.btn--primary` inverts to bg `#fefefe` / text `--primary` via a `.btn--inverse` modifier or parent-context selector — pick one, stay consistent.
- **Hover:** brightness/shadow shift with `cursor: pointer`.
- **Focus:** distinct `:focus-visible` ring using `--primary` (`outline: 2px solid var(--primary); outline-offset: 2px;`) for keyboard navigation.
- **Active/Pressed:** `transform: scale(0.97)`.
- **Loading:** `.is-loading` — disables interaction, prevents double-clicks, renders a CSS spinner or rotating `progress_activity` symbol without changing button dimensions.
- **Disabled:** `opacity: 0.5`, greyscale, `cursor: not-allowed`.
- **Success/Error:** temporary feedback styles driven by `--text-success` / `--text-error` (used by the Final CTA form).

**2.2 Card Component Requirements**
- **Default:** `.card` — flexbox column with `gap: var(--spacing-gap)`, padding, `background: var(--bg-primary)` (or `--bg-secondary` on tinted sections), 1px `--border-default`, `border-radius: var(--radius-lg)`, `--shadow-sm`.
- **Hover:** elevation shift + `transform: translateY(-2px)` on interactive cards (Features, Pricing).
- **Focus-within:** card border highlights `--primary` when a child link/button receives focus.
- **Loading (Skeleton):** define a `.skeleton` shimmer animation utility in CSS; this page is static, so content must render with zero layout shift (no CLS).
- **Empty State:** not required for this page; do not invent empty sections.

**2.3 Form & Input Requirements**
- **Structure:** `.input-group` — flex column wrapping a `<label>`, the input, and a dedicated feedback container (`.input-group__feedback`, `aria-live="polite"`, linked via `aria-describedby`).
- **States:** Empty, Focused (outline ring `--primary`), Filled, Valid (success border + `check` icon), Invalid (error border, `--text-error` message + error icon), Disabled, Read-only — all styled via CSS classes.

**2.4 Accordion (FAQ) Requirements**
- **States:** Collapsed → Expanding → Expanded → Collapsing, animated purely via CSS (e.g., `grid-template-rows: 0fr → 1fr`) at `--transition-normal`.
- **UX Features:** each `.faq-item` has a trigger `<button class="faq-item__trigger">` (wrapped in an `<h3>`) with `aria-expanded` + `aria-controls`, and a `.faq-item__panel` (`role="region"`, `aria-labelledby`); the `expand_more` chevron rotates 180° when expanded (state never communicated by color alone); fully keyboard operable (Tab, Enter/Space); single-open behavior — opening one item animates the others closed. No modals/popups are required on this page; do not add unrequested components.

---

## 3. CORE UX & MICRO-INTERACTION RULES

- **Responsive by Default:** fluid `clamp()` sizing and breakpoints with zero horizontal overflow; verify at 320px width.
- **Smooth Animations:** `transition: var(--transition-normal) var(--ease-standard)` on all state changes; honor `prefers-reduced-motion` (remove transforms, keep instant state changes).
- **Accessibility (a11y):** AA contrast in both Light and Dark modes; never rely on color alone to communicate state; semantic HTML5 landmarks (`main`, `section` with `aria-labelledby`, `footer`); a "Skip to main content" link; logical DOM/focus order; full keyboard operability; `aria-live` regions for dynamic form feedback. Note: `#888888` fails AA at body sizes on light backgrounds — reserve it for large text (≥24px / 19px bold) and decorative meta; use `--text-secondary-strong` for small body copy.
- **Mandatory Visual Feedback:** every click, hover, or submission triggers a visible state change.
- **Anchor Navigation:** footer secondary links and hero CTAs smooth-scroll to sections (`scroll-behavior: smooth`, `scroll-margin-top` on targets); auto behavior under reduced motion.
- **Destructive Actions:** none exist on this page; if one is ever added, `.btn--danger` must be visually distinct in both themes.

---

## 4. DELIVERABLE & OUTPUT FORMAT

- **File Structure:** separate `index.html`, `style.css`, `script.js`. No inline `<script>` blocks beyond a single deferred entry point (`<script src="script.js" defer></script>`). `index.html` includes `lang="en"`, viewport meta, `<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">`, a descriptive `<title>`, and a meta description.
- **Naming Convention:** BEM (`block__element--modifier`) everywhere; the four signature classes (`.split-top`, `.split-bottom`, `.accent-bar`, `.quote-hero`) are preserved verbatim as top-level blocks. Never mix conventions.
- **No Unrequested Placeholders:** write realistic, on-brand English copy for a professional SaaS/design studio — no lorem ipsum. All user-facing copy in English. Genuinely unspecified footer links may use `href="#"`.
- **Completeness:** deliver full, runnable code on the first attempt — no TODOs, no truncated sections.

---

## 5. PAGE SECTION REQUIREMENTS

**5.1 Hero — Two-Panel Split**
- Full-viewport hero (`min-height: 100svh`, flex column) split vertically: `.split-top` (~60% — bg `--bg-primary`, text `--text-primary`) stacked above `.split-bottom` (~40% — bg `--primary`, text `--text-on-primary`). The stacked split works unchanged on mobile.
- **Accent bar:** 4px `.accent-bar` elements on panel edges — e.g., a 4px seam at the panel junction and 4px left-edge bars on hero content blocks; on blue panels the bar uses `--text-on-primary`. Decorative bars get `aria-hidden="true"`.
- **Brand marks in corners:** brand wordmark ("Electric Studio" — `bolt` symbol + Manrope 800, tight tracking) top-left of `.split-top`; theme toggle top-right; subtle corner crop-marks built from `.accent-bar` in the remaining corners (decorative).
- **Quote hero:** the `<h1>` is a quote-style brand statement — `.quote-hero` typography with an oversized `format_quote` symbol or CSS `::before` quotation marks; keep line length ~16–20ch.
- **`.split-bottom` content:** one-line supporting value proposition (Manrope 500) + CTA row (flex, `items-center`, wrapping): inverted primary CTA + white-outlined secondary CTA, scrolling to Pricing / How It Works.

**5.2 Features — 3 Cards**
- Section heading (Manrope 800, `clamp(1.75rem, 4vw, 2.5rem)`) + one-line intro. Flex row of three `.card`s (`gap: var(--spacing-gap)`) → column on mobile. Each card: Material Symbol icon in a small accent-tinted flex-centered container, title (700), description (400/500, `--text-secondary-strong`). Hover lift + focus-within per 2.2.

**5.3 How It Works — 3 Steps**
- Flex row → column on mobile; steps carry oversized numerals ("01 / 02 / 03", Manrope 800, `--primary`) and may be connected by `.accent-bar`-derived horizontal rules. Each step: number, title (700), short description. Choose one layout treatment (open or card) and keep spacing confident and consistent.

**5.4 Testimonials**
- Echo the hero's quote typography: large pull-quotes (Manrope 700, clamp sizing) with `format_quote` and an attribution line (name + role/company in `--text-secondary`). Two or three testimonials in a flex row → column; clean and high-contrast.

**5.5 Pricing — 3 Tiers**
- Flex row → column. Middle tier featured: `--primary` border (or full blue-panel treatment), "Most popular" badge, slight elevation/scale. Each tier: name, price (Manrope 800), billing note, feature list with `check` icons, CTA (`.btn--primary` on featured, `.btn--secondary` on others). Pricing is static display — do not add a billing toggle.

**5.6 FAQ**
- Five or six realistic Q&As, accordion per 2.4, centered `max-width: 800px`, section heading + short intro.

**5.7 Final CTA**
- Full-width blue panel (bg `--primary`; `--secondary` in dark mode) echoing `.split-bottom`, with a 4px `.accent-bar` edge detail. Headline (Manrope 800) + one-line subcopy + email capture form (`.input-group` per 2.3: label, email input, inverted `.btn--primary`) + privacy microcopy. Submit flow: Loading → Success (inline confirmation with `check` icon, announced via `aria-live`) or Error (inline `--text-error` message). No page reload.

**5.8 Footer — Secondary Links**
- Background `--bg-footer` (#0a0a0a in light mode; #111111 + `--border-default` top border in dark mode), light text. Contents: brand wordmark + one-line tagline; 2–3 columns of secondary links (Product / Company / Legal — anchor links to page sections); a social row using generic Material Symbol icons or text labels (no brand-logo SVGs); copyright line; the theme toggle may repeat here. Links: hover underline + `:focus-visible` ring; 44px touch targets via padding.

---

## 6. JAVASCRIPT BEHAVIOR REQUIREMENTS (`script.js`)

- **6.1 Theme toggle:** read `localStorage.theme` → apply `.dark`/`.light` class; fall back to `prefers-color-scheme`; update `aria-pressed`/`aria-label` and swap `dark_mode`/`light_mode` icons; persist on every change.
- **6.2 FAQ accordion:** toggle `aria-expanded`, drive the CSS panel animation via a state class, enforce single-open.
- **6.3 Anchor scrolling:** smooth-scroll for in-page links; respect reduced motion.
- **6.4 Final CTA form:** validate email (regex, `novalidate` on the form), show inline error or success in the `aria-live` feedback container, run the button's Loading state during a simulated submit, prevent double submission.
- **6.5 Optional reveal:** subtle IntersectionObserver fade-up (opacity + 12px translate) — disabled under `prefers-reduced-motion`.
- No JS libraries; no inline scripts; no behavior beyond what is specified.
