## 0. THEME BRIEF & PAGE CONTENT

**0.1 Design Direction**
Build a friendly, organized, modern landing page on pastel geometry: white cards (#faf9f7) floating on a pastel blue background (#c8d9e6), 24px rounded corners, soft shadows, and a signature decorative motif of **vertical pills stacked on the right edge of the hero card** with varying heights (short → medium → tall → medium → short) in pink, mint, sage, lavender, and violet. A download/action icon sits in a card corner. Every hover/state change transitions smoothly in 250ms.

**0.2 Mandatory Color Tokens (define in `:root`)**
- `--bg-primary: #c8d9e6` (Pastel Blue page background) · `--bg-secondary: #faf9f7` (Card White) · `--text-primary: #1a1a1a` (Text Dark)
- `--pill-pink: #f0b4d4` · `--pill-mint: #a8d4c4` · `--pill-sage: #5a7c6a` · `--pill-lavender: #9b8dc4` · `--pill-violet: #7c6aad`
- **Contrast mapping:** `--primary` (primary CTA background) = `--pill-violet` #7c6aad with white text (passes AA); `--secondary` = `--pill-sage` #5a7c6a with white text (passes AA). Pink, mint, and lavender are **accent/decorative colors only** — never white text on them; when used as chip/badge backgrounds, pair with `--text-primary`.

**0.3 Typography**
- Google Font: **Plus Jakarta Sans** — weights 400, 500, 600, 700, 800. Display headings: 700/800. Body: 400/500. Bind to `--font-base`.

**0.4 Signature Geometry (exact CSS technical — these class names are mandatory)**
```css
font-family: 'Plus Jakarta Sans', sans-serif;
/* body background via var(--bg-primary): #c8d9e6 */
.card { background: #faf9f7; border-radius: 24px; box-shadow: 0 8px 32px rgba(0,0,0,0.08); }
.pill { width: 24px; border-radius: 12px; position: absolute; right: -12px; }
.pill-short { height: 40px; }
.pill-medium { height: 60px; }
.pill-tall { height: 80px; }
```
- Hero pill stack, top → bottom: pink `.pill-short` → mint `.pill-medium` → sage `.pill-tall` → lavender `.pill-medium` → violet `.pill-short`, vertically centered along the card's right edge with a consistent gap (~12px). Pills are purely decorative: mark `aria-hidden="true"`.
- Download/action icon: a Google Material Symbol (e.g., `download`) inside a rounded accent chip placed in a hero card corner, using a pill color with the correct text-color pairing from §0.2.
- All hover/state transitions: 250ms.

**0.5 Required Sections (in this order)**
1. **Header/Nav** (sticky — required to host the mandatory theme toggle): logo, anchor links to each section, primary CTA; collapses to a keyboard-accessible mobile menu (Material `menu`/`close` icons).
2. **Hero:** display headline (weight 800), subheadline (400/500), primary + secondary CTA, hero `.card` containing an abstract geometric product-preview mock (circles, bars, and blocks in the five pill colors — CSS only, no screenshots) plus the signature pill stack and corner download icon.
3. **Features:** exactly 3 `.card`s, each with a Material icon in a pastel accent chip (rotate pink → mint → lavender), title (700), description.
4. **How It Works:** 3 numbered steps with geometric number badges in pill colors, short title + description each.
5. **Testimonials:** 2–3 `.card`s with quote, pastel initial-circle avatar (initials rendered in CSS circles — no external images), name, role.
6. **Pricing:** 3 tiers; middle tier visually highlighted with a "Most popular" badge; feature checklists using Material `check` icons; one `.btn` per tier.
7. **FAQ:** 5–6 accordion items (native `<details>`/`<summary>` preferred, or button + `aria-expanded`), smooth 250ms expand/collapse, fully keyboard operable.
8. **Final CTA:** large `.card` with headline, supporting copy, and an email-capture form (see §2.3) with submit button; optionally repeat a smaller pill motif.
9. **Footer:** secondary link columns (Product, Company, Resources, Legal), Material-icon social links, copyright line.

Write realistic, coherent English copy for a fictional SaaS product — real headlines, feature names, testimonial quotes, tier names/prices, and FAQ answers. No lorem ipsum.

## 1. STRICT RULES & ARCHITECTURE

**1.1 CSS-First Architecture & Zero Inline CSS**
- All styling lives in `style.css`. **Forbidden:** the `style="..."` attribute anywhere in the HTML.
- All design properties, layout rules, and states are applied via class/ID selectors only.
- HTML stays clean, semantic, and style-agnostic — restyling the site must require editing only the CSS file, never the markup.

**1.2 CSS Variables & Theme Tokens**
- Store every visual token in `:root` (and theme classes): `--primary`, `--secondary`, `--bg-primary`, `--bg-secondary`, `--text-primary`, `--text-secondary`, `--text-success`, `--text-error`, `--border-default`, `--border-error`, `--border-success`, plus `--pill-pink`, `--pill-mint`, `--pill-sage`, `--pill-lavender`, `--pill-violet`, and `--font-base`.
- Also define: `--radius-sm`, `--radius-md`, `--radius-lg` (24px card radius maps here), `--shadow-sm`, `--shadow-md` (the card shadow `0 8px 32px rgba(0,0,0,0.08)` maps here), `--spacing-gap`, `--transition-fast` (150ms), `--transition-normal` (250ms), `--ease-standard`, `--z-dropdown`, `--z-modal`, `--z-toast`.
- **Contrast pairing:** every light background token pairs with a dark text token and every dark background token pairs with a light text token — enforce this in every theme. The light-mode background is #c8d9e6 (never pure white; if a near-white is ever needed, use `#fefefe`).

**1.3 Mandatory Dark Mode Support**
- Define dark tokens under both `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)` and a `.dark` class selector — a "Pastel Dusk" variant: suggested starting values `--bg-primary: #232939`, `--bg-secondary: #2c3244`, `--text-primary: #f2f4f8`, `--text-secondary: #b9c0d0`; keep the five pill hues recognizable, lightening sage and violet slightly so they read on dark surfaces. Final values must pass WCAG AA for all text pairs.
- Provide a visible header toggle with correct `aria-pressed`/`aria-label` state; persist the user's choice in `localStorage`, falling back to `prefers-color-scheme` on first visit; switching themes must require zero HTML restructuring.
- **Exception:** the source specification requests a light-only deliverable; dark mode remains a mandatory architectural requirement — ship the complete dark variant described above regardless.

**1.4 Flexbox Layout & Mobile-First Alignment**
- Build all layout structures with Flexbox (`display: flex` / Tailwind flex utilities). Every flex container **must default to `align-items: center`** unless an exception is explicitly justified in a CSS comment.
- Mobile-first: multi-column rows convert to columns on small viewports; **no horizontal scrolling at any breakpoint** — specifically contain the `-12px` pill overhang (e.g., `overflow-x: clip` on `body` or the section wrapper) so the signature pills never trigger overflow on mobile.

**1.5 Framework & Class Convention**
- Use Tailwind CSS (or clean custom CSS organized with Tailwind's `@layer`/`@apply` directives). The class names from §0.4 (`.card`, `.pill`, `.pill-short`, `.pill-medium`, `.pill-tall`) are mandatory; all utilities and components must map back to CSS variables or generic reusable classes (`.btn`, `.card`, `.input-group`).
- Enforce one consistent naming convention (BEM or the fixed set above) across the entire deliverable — never mix conventions.

**1.6 Typography & Icons (Google Fonts Mandatory)**
- Include Plus Jakarta Sans via Google Fonts `<link>` (or `@import`) and bind it to `--font-base`.
- Icons: Google Material Symbols only. **Forbidden:** raw inline SVGs, local icon files, emoji icons.

## 2. COMPONENT DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

**2.1 Buttons** — style every state via CSS classes:
- **Default:** `display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 0.5rem;` minimum touch target 44×44px. Primary = violet background + white text; secondary = sage background + white text or an outlined variant; `.btn-danger` visually distinct in both themes.
- **Hover:** brightness/shadow shift with `cursor: pointer`, 250ms.
- **Focus:** distinct focus ring built from CSS variables (`outline`/`box-shadow`) for keyboard navigation.
- **Active/Pressed:** `transform: scale(0.97)`.
- **Loading:** disables interaction, prevents double-clicks, renders a CSS spinner or rotating Material icon without changing button dimensions.
- **Disabled:** `opacity: 0.5`, greyscale, `cursor: not-allowed`.
- **Success/Error:** temporary feedback styles driven by `--text-success` / `--text-error`.

**2.2 Cards** — the `.card` base (white #faf9f7, radius 24px, soft shadow) applies to the hero preview, features, testimonials, pricing, FAQ wrapper, and final CTA:
- **Default:** flexible Flexbox layout with subtle borders and elevation via `--bg-secondary` and CSS variables.
- **Hover (where interactive):** `transform: translateY(-2px)` plus shadow shift, 250ms.
- **Focus-within:** highlighted card border when a child link/button receives focus.
- **Loading:** skeleton shimmer animation defined in CSS to prevent layout jumps.
- **Empty state:** structured fallback with a Google Icon and clear guidance text.

**2.3 Forms & Inputs** (Final CTA email capture):
- **States:** empty, focused (outline ring), filled, valid (success border/icon), invalid (error border, error text, error icon), disabled, read-only.
- **Structure:** flex `.input-group` wrapping a label, the input field, and a dedicated error feedback container; errors announced via an `aria-live` region; never rely on color alone — pair icon + text.

**2.4 Modals / Popups** (mandatory spec for any dialog used, e.g., plan selection or sign-up):
- **States:** opening, open, loading, success/error, closing — all animated via CSS transitions (250ms).
- **UX:** centered flex container (`align-items: center`), backdrop overlay, Material `close` icon button, keyboard focus trapping, close via `Esc` and overlay click, correct ARIA dialog roles.

---

## 3. CORE UX & MICRO-INTERACTION RULES

- **Responsive by default:** fluid sizing and standard breakpoints with zero horizontal overflow.
- **Smooth animations:** `transition: var(--transition-normal)` on all state changes; fully respect `prefers-reduced-motion` (disable transforms, shimmer, and spinners).
- **Accessibility (a11y):** WCAG AA contrast in both light and dark modes; never communicate state by color alone; semantic HTML5 elements; correct ARIA roles/labels on the accordion, mobile menu, theme toggle, and any dialog; logical DOM/focus order; full keyboard operability (no mouse-only interactions); `aria-live` regions for form errors, loading states, and toast-style feedback.
- **Mandatory visual feedback:** every click, hover, and submission triggers a visible state change (buttons, cards, FAQ expand, form submit → loading → success).
- **Destructive actions:** `.btn-danger` and delete actions visually distinct in both themes.

---

## 4. DELIVERABLE & OUTPUT FORMAT

- **File structure:** separate `index.html`, `style.css`, and `script.js`. No inline `<script>` blocks beyond a single deferred entry-point reference; no inline CSS.
- **Naming convention:** one consistent convention (per §1.5) across HTML, CSS, and JS.
- **Copy:** realistic English SaaS copy per §0.5 — placeholders only where content was genuinely left unspecified.
- **Completeness:** ship the full page — all 9 sections, both themes, and every component state — fully working on the first attempt.
