# SYSTEM PROMPT — SENIOR FRONTEND ENGINEER TASK: BOHEMIAN (BOHO) LANDING PAGE

**Role:** Act as a Senior Frontend Engineer and Expert UI Designer. Build a complete, production-ready Bohemian (Boho) landing page on the first attempt — no follow-up questions, no partial builds. All user-facing copy must be written in **English**.

---

## 0. PROJECT BRIEF & THEME DIRECTION

**0.1 Theme Identity**
- **Name:** Bohemian (Boho) — Vibrant-Muted, Earthy, Free-Spirit, Global
- **Keywords:** bohemian, boho, vibrant muted, earthy, free spirit, global influences, layered textures, travel, eclectic, handmade
- **Era:** 1960s–70s Counterculture to Modern Boho
- **Mood:** Free-spirited, eclectic, globally inspired, with an authentic handmade feel

**0.2 Brand Concept**
Invent one coherent fictional brand (suggested default: a bohemian artisan marketplace offering handcrafted, globally sourced goods and curated "wanderlust boxes"). Choose a brand name (e.g., a Caveat-styled wordmark) and write original, warm, wanderlust-flavored English copy throughout. **Never use lorem ipsum.**

**0.3 Required Page Sections (in this order)**
1. Sticky Header (wordmark, anchor nav, theme toggle, CTA, mobile menu)
2. Hero
3. Features — 3 cards
4. How It Works — 3 steps
5. Testimonials
6. Pricing — 3 tiers
7. FAQ — accordion
8. Final CTA — newsletter capture
9. Footer — secondary links

**0.4 Color Palette → Token Mapping**

| Palette color | Hex | Token usage |
|---|---|---|
| Terracotta | `#C67A4B` | `--primary`, borders, accents |
| Desert Sand | `#D4B896` | `--accent-sand`, textures, secondary text (dark mode) |
| Deep Teal | `#1A6B6A` | `--secondary`, featured surfaces, focus rings |
| Warm Cream | `#FFF5E1` | `--bg-primary` (light), `--text-primary` (dark) |
| Burnt Orange | `#CC5500` | `--text-error`, `--border-error`, danger |
| Dusty Mauve | `#B08B8B` | `--accent-mauve`, decorative shapes |
| Olive | `#6B7B3A` | `--text-success`, `--border-success` |
| Indigo | `#3F51B5` | `--accent-indigo`, decorative shapes |
| Deep Espresso | `#3A2A1A` | `--text-primary` (light), dark-mode base hue |

**0.5 Visual Effects (all mandatory)**
- **Layered textile-like textures:** pure CSS patterns (multi-layer `repeating-linear-gradient` "weave" and "kilim" stripe patterns, `radial-gradient` dot/diamond motifs) at low opacity so text contrast is never reduced; reduce thread opacity further in dark mode.
- **Hand-drawn style borders:** base `border: 2px solid var(--primary)` with `border-radius: 4px`; include a `.border--sketch` wobbly-corner variant (e.g., `border-radius: 255px 15px 225px 15px / 15px 225px 15px 255px`) for badges, avatars, and the modal dialog.
- **Warm gradient overlays:** cream → sand → terracotta tints on hero and Final CTA bands.
- **Macramé-inspired decorative dividers** between major sections (see the SVG exception clause in §1.6).
- **Gentle parallax on background textures:** CSS `background-attachment: fixed` on hero/CTA texture layers; disabled under `prefers-reduced-motion` and on small viewports (fallback `scroll`).
- **Earthy shadow tones:** terracotta-tinted rgba shadows in light mode; warm near-black shadows in dark mode.

**0.6 Typography Direction**
- **Mix serif + handwritten:** `'Libre Baskerville', serif` for headings and body; `'Caveat', cursive` for handwritten accents (eyebrow labels, step numbers, badges, pull-quote flourishes, wordmark).
- **Base body:** `line-height: 1.7`, color `#3A2A1A` on `#FFF5E1`.
- Caveat renders small — size handwritten accents at roughly `1.2em` relative to their context.

## 1. STRICT RULES & ARCHITECTURE

### 1.1 CSS-First Architecture & Zero Inline CSS
- **No Inline CSS:** The `style="..."` attribute is forbidden anywhere in the HTML. Zero exceptions.
- **Class/ID Selectors Only:** All design properties, layout rules, and states must be applied via class or ID selectors defined in `style.css`.
- **Minimal HTML Modifications:** HTML must remain clean, semantic, and style-agnostic. Changing the site's look must only require editing `style.css`, never the markup.

### 1.2 CSS Variables & Theme Tokens
Store every visual token in `:root` (and the dark theme overrides per §1.3). Implement exactly this baseline:

```css
:root {
  /* Color */
  --primary: #C67A4B;          /* Terracotta */
  --secondary: #1A6B6A;        /* Deep Teal */
  --bg-primary: #FFF5E1;       /* Warm Cream */
  --bg-secondary: #F4E7CE;     /* Soft sand surface (tint of Desert Sand) */
  --text-primary: #3A2A1A;     /* Deep Espresso */
  --text-secondary: #6E5A43;   /* Muted Umber */
  --text-success: #6B7B3A;     /* Olive */
  --text-error: #CC5500;       /* Burnt Orange */
  --border-default: #C67A4B;
  --border-success: #6B7B3A;
  --border-error: #CC5500;
  /* Accents */
  --accent-sand: #D4B896;
  --accent-mauve: #B08B8B;
  --accent-indigo: #3F51B5;
  --accent-olive: #6B7B3A;
  --accent-burnt: #CC5500;
  /* Shape & depth */
  --radius-sm: 4px;            /* hand-drawn base radius */
  --radius-md: 8px;
  --radius-lg: 16px;
  --shadow-sm: 0 2px 6px rgba(198, 122, 75, 0.12);
  --shadow-md: 0 4px 12px rgba(198, 122, 75, 0.15);
  /* Spacing & motion */
  --spacing-gap: 1.5rem;
  --transition-fast: 150ms;
  --transition-normal: 300ms;
  --ease-standard: cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);
  /* Elevation */
  --z-dropdown: 1000;
  --z-modal: 1050;
  --z-toast: 1100;
  /* Type */
  --font-base: 'Libre Baskerville', Georgia, serif;
  --font-accent: 'Caveat', cursive;
}
```

- **Contrast Pairing (enforced in every theme):** Light backgrounds (cream, sand, terracotta, mauve) must pair with dark espresso text (`#3A2A1A` / `#2A1A0E`). Dark backgrounds (deep teal, burnt orange, indigo, espresso) must pair with warm cream text (`#FFF5E1`). Terracotta text on cream fails contrast for body copy — restrict terracotta text to large headings (≥24px bold) or Caveat accents; use `#A85A32` for smaller terracotta accent text.
- **Light Mode Background:** Never pure white. The theme background is `#FFF5E1`; if a near-white is ever needed, use `#fefefe`, not `#ffffff`.
- **Dark Mode Tokens:** Provide a complete override set (see §1.3) — never a generic gray theme.

### 1.3 Mandatory Dark Mode Support
- **Implementation:** Define dark tokens under a `.dark` class on `<html>`, plus a no-JS fallback under `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)` scoped to `:root:not(.light)`. Suggested dark palette (keep it warm and boho, not gray):
  - `--bg-primary: #241A10` (deep espresso), `--bg-secondary: #312416` (roasted umber), `--text-primary: #FFF5E1`, `--text-secondary: #D4B896`, `--primary: #D68D5C` (lightened terracotta), `--secondary: #4FAAA6` (lightened teal), `--text-success: #A3B86B`, `--text-error: #F27B33`, `--border-default: #8A5E3B`, shadows `rgba(0,0,0,0.35–0.45)`.
- **Theme Switching:** Background and text variables must flip seamlessly with **no HTML restructuring** — only the class toggles.
- **Persistence:** On load, read `localStorage` ("boho-theme"); if absent, fall back to `prefers-color-scheme`. JS must always set an explicit `.dark` or `.light` class so a stored choice always wins. Provide a visible toggle button (header) using Material Symbols `light_mode` / `dark_mode`, with correct `aria-pressed` and `aria-label` ("Toggle dark mode").

### 1.4 Flexbox Layout & Mobile-First Alignment
- **Default Alignment Rule:** Every flex container defaults to `align-items: center` unless there is an explicitly justified exception (document the exception with a CSS comment, e.g., card text columns using `align-items: stretch` so paragraphs fill the card — while all icon/CTA rows inside still use `align-items: center`).
- **Mobile-Friendly First:** All flex layouts must be mobile-responsive out of the box — rows convert to columns on small viewports, grids collapse 3 → 2 → 1, and horizontal scrolling is never allowed (verify at 320px).

### 1.5 Styling Approach
- Use **clean custom CSS driven by the CSS variables above** (preferred for this variable-driven theme). If you use Tailwind instead, every utility must map back to the CSS variables or to generic reusable classes (`.btn`, `.card`, `.input-group`). **Never mix conventions.**

### 1.6 Typography & Icons (Google Fonts Mandatory)
- **Text:** Load `'Libre Baskerville'` and `'Caveat'` from Google Fonts via `<link>` (with `preconnect`) and bind them to `--font-base` / `--font-accent`.
- **Icons:** Use **Google Material Symbols (Rounded)** for every functional icon. Raw inline SVGs and local icon files are forbidden.
- **Exception clause:** Inline SVG is permitted *solely* for the macramé-inspired decorative section dividers explicitly required by this theme — they must be decorative (`aria-hidden="true"`, `focusable="false"`), use `currentColor` so they adapt to both themes, and all functional icons must still be Material Symbols.

## 2. COMPONENT DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

### 2.1 Button Component
Style all states via CSS classes (`.btn`, `.btn--primary`, `.btn--outline`, `.btn--teal`, `.btn--danger`, `.is-loading`, `.is-disabled`, `.btn--success`, `.btn--error`):
- **Default:** `display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 0.5rem;` minimum touch target 44×44px; `border-radius: var(--radius-sm)`; `transition: var(--transition-normal) var(--ease-standard)`.
- **Primary:** background `var(--primary)` with **deep espresso text `#2A1A0E`** (guarantees ≥4.5:1 on terracotta). **Teal variant:** background `var(--secondary)` with cream text. **Outline variant:** transparent bg, 2px terracotta border, espresso text; hover fills with a sand tint.
- **Hover:** brightness/shadow shift with `cursor: pointer`.
- **Focus:** distinct `:focus-visible` ring using variables — `outline: 2px dashed var(--primary); outline-offset: 3px` (lightened primary in dark mode).
- **Active/Pressed:** `transform: scale(0.97)`.
- **Loading:** disables interactions and prevents double-clicks (`pointer-events: none`, `aria-busy="true"`); renders a CSS spinner (`::after` border spinner) or rotating Material Symbol without distorting button dimensions.
- **Disabled:** `opacity: 0.5`, greyscale filter, `cursor: not-allowed`, no transforms.
- **Success/Error:** temporary feedback styles driven by `--text-success` / `--text-error`, always paired with an icon (check_circle / error) — never color alone.
- **Danger:** `.btn--danger` must be visually distinct in both themes (burnt orange; use a darkened fill like `#A94300` with cream text to pass contrast). Define it even if the page doesn't use it.

### 2.2 Card Component
- **Default:** flexible Flexbox column, `background: var(--bg-secondary)`, 2px `var(--border-default)` border, `border-radius: var(--radius-sm)`, `box-shadow: var(--shadow-sm)`.
- **Hover (interactive cards):** `transform: translateY(-2px)` plus shadow elevation shift.
- **Focus-within:** card border highlights (teal) when a child link/button receives focus.
- **Loading (Skeleton):** `.card--skeleton` shimmer animation defined in CSS (gradient sweep keyframes) with reserved min-heights to prevent layout jumps.
- **Empty State:** `.state-empty` fallback layout — centered flex, large Material Symbol (e.g., `explore`), clear guidance heading and text, optional action button.
- **Featured variant:** `.card--featured` — deep teal background with cream text in light mode; inverted (cream/sand background, espresso text) in dark mode so it stays highlighted.

### 2.3 Form & Input Requirements
- **Structure:** `.input-group` flex container wrapping a `<label>`, a field wrapper (input + status icon span), and a dedicated error feedback element `.input-group__error` with `aria-live="polite"` and reserved min-height (no layout jump).
- **States (all styled):** Empty, Focused (teal border + soft ring `box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(26,107,106,0.25)`), Filled, Valid (olive border + `check_circle` icon), Invalid (burnt orange border + `error` icon + red-toned message text; `aria-invalid="true"`), Disabled (opacity 0.5, `not-allowed`), Read-only (subtle background shift).
- **Never color-only:** every valid/invalid state pairs color with an icon and/or text message.

### 2.4 Modal / Popup Requirements
- **States:** Opening (fade + scale 0.95→1), Open, Loading (submit button spinner + `aria-busy`), Success/Error (inline feedback region), Closing (reverse animation, element removed on `transitionend`). All animated via CSS transitions.
- **UX Features:** `.modal` is a fixed, centered flex container (`align-items: center; justify-content: center`) at `z-index: var(--z-modal)`; backdrop overlay (warm espresso rgba + subtle blur); Google Material Symbol `close` button (44×44, top-right); keyboard focus trapping (Tab/Shift+Tab cycle inside; focus starts on close button); close via `Esc` and overlay click; focus restored to the trigger on close; body scroll locked; `role="dialog"`, `aria-modal="true"`, `aria-labelledby`.
- **Concrete instance:** the header CTA "Join the Collective" opens this modal containing a short signup form (name + email) that exercises the full form state machine and the modal's loading → success flow.

## 3. CORE UX & MICRO-INTERACTION RULES

- **Responsive by Default:** fluid `clamp()` typography, breakpoints ~480/768/1024px, zero horizontal overflow at any width.
- **Smooth Animations:** `transition: var(--transition-normal) var(--ease-standard)` on all state changes (color, background, border, transform, shadow). Add reveal-on-scroll via IntersectionObserver (`.is-visible`), gated behind a `.js` class on `<html>` so content is never hidden without JS.
- **`prefers-reduced-motion`:** disable parallax (`background-attachment: scroll`), reveal animations (show instantly), shimmer, bounce/float effects, and smooth scrolling; keep only essential transitions.
- **Accessibility (a11y):** sufficient contrast in both Light and Dark modes per §1.2 pairing rules; never rely solely on color to communicate state; semantic HTML5 elements and landmarks (`header`, `nav`, `main`, `section` with `aria-labelledby`, `footer`); skip-to-content link; one `h1` and logical heading order; correct ARIA roles/labels on custom widgets (accordion, modal, menu toggle); logical DOM/focus order; full keyboard operability — no mouse-only interactions; `aria-live` regions for dynamic feedback (form errors, loading, success messages).
- **Mandatory Visual Feedback:** every click, hover, and submission triggers a visible state change (nav link hover, button press, accordion open, form submit, theme toggle).
- **Destructive Actions:** `.btn-danger` must be visually distinct in both themes (see §2.1).
- **Toasts:** if any non-inline feedback is used, define a `.toast` component fixed at `z-index: var(--z-toast)` with an `aria-live` region.

---

## 4. DELIVERABLE & OUTPUT FORMAT

- **File Structure:** exactly three files — `index.html`, `style.css`, `script.js`. No inline `<script>` blocks beyond a single deferred entry-point reference (`<script src="script.js" defer></script>`); no `on*` event attributes — all JS via `addEventListener`.
- **Naming Convention:** BEM (`block__element--modifier`) exclusively across HTML/CSS/JS hooks — never mix conventions.
- **Head requirements:** `lang="en"`, viewport meta, title, description, Google Fonts + Material Symbols links with `preconnect`.
- **CSS organization:** tokens → base/reset → components → sections → utilities → media queries, with section comments.
- **No Unrequested Placeholders:** write real, theme-appropriate English copy everywhere; placeholder `href="#"` links are allowed only for genuinely unspecified destinations (e.g., Privacy/Terms).
- **No external images:** all visuals via CSS patterns/gradients, Material Symbols, initials avatars, and the permitted macramé SVG dividers.

**5.2 Hero:** `min-height: 85vh`, flex column centered; layered background = textile weave pattern + warm gradient overlay + gentle parallax; Caveat terracotta eyebrow ("handcrafted · wanderlust · community"); serif `h1` with one Caveat terracotta accent word; subcopy (max-width ~60ch); CTA row (primary anchor button + outline anchor button, flex-wrap); small trust line with filled `star` icon; macramé divider at the bottom edge; optional low-opacity CSS decorative shapes (mauve/indigo/olive circles and diamonds) with gentle float animation (reduced-motion safe).

**5.3 Features (3 cards):** section header pattern (Caveat eyebrow + serif `h2` + muted intro); responsive grid of 3 `.card`s, each with a Material Symbol icon inside a 56px sketch-bordered circular badge (`handyman` Handcrafted, `public` Globally Sourced, `eco` Sustainably Made), serif `h3`, copy, and a Caveat micro-label; card hover per §2.2.

**5.4 How It Works (3 steps):** desktop flex row with a dashed connector line (pure CSS); mobile column with a left dashed rail; each step = Caveat number badge ("01/02/03") in a sketch-bordered circle, Material Symbol (`explore`, `shopping_basket`, `local_shipping`), serif `h3`, copy.

**5.5 Testimonials:** 3 quote cards; each with a 5-star row (filled `star` icons, container `aria-label="Rated 5 out of 5 stars"`, icons `aria-hidden`), oversized decorative Caveat quotation mark, italic serif quote, initials avatar (CSS gradient circle, espresso initials), name + location in muted text; apply subtle `nth-child` rotation (±0.75deg) for the eclectic handmade feel; `.card--skeleton` must be available for these cards.

**5.7 FAQ:** 5–6 items; each item = `h3` > `button.faq__trigger` (full-width flex, space-between, `align-items: center`, min-height 52px) + rotating `expand_more` icon + `.faq__panel` animated via `grid-template-rows: 0fr → 1fr`; `aria-expanded`/`aria-controls`, panel with `role="region"`; one-item-open-at-a-time behavior; topics: shipping, materials/sourcing, box contents, returns, cancellation.

**5.8 Final CTA:** full-width band with warm gradient (terracotta → burnt orange) + textile overlay + parallax; cream serif headline with Caveat accent; the newsletter `.input-group` sits inside a cream, sketch-bordered panel (inverted in dark mode) so all form state colors meet contrast; email validation with full state machine (§2.3); submit → loading → success (check icon + "You're in!" via `aria-live`) → reset after a few seconds.

**5.9 Footer:** macramé divider along the top; `--bg-secondary` background with 2px terracotta top border; flex-wrap columns: brand block (Caveat wordmark, one-liner, social links as styled Caveat text links — no brand SVGs) + secondary link columns (Explore: Features, How It Works, Pricing; Company: About, Journal, Contact; Support: FAQ, Shipping, Returns) with dashed terracotta hover underlines; bottom bar with copyright, "Handmade with" + `favorite` icon (`aria-hidden`), and a back-to-top icon button (`arrow_upward`, smooth scroll).
