## 0. PROJECT BRIEF & PAGE STRUCTURE

**Theme:** "Graffiti" — bright, gritty, spray-paint, urban-rebel aesthetic rooted in 1970s–present street-art culture. The page must feel rebellious, loud, and full of personality while remaining fully readable, accessible, and professional under the hood.

**Brand & Copy:** Invent one coherent fictional brand (e.g., a digital street-art canvas / creative rebel community) and write ALL user-facing copy in English, in a confident street-art voice (short, punchy, uppercase headlines; e.g., "MAKE YOUR MARK"). No lorem ipsum anywhere — every headline, button label, feature, testimonial, price tier, FAQ answer, and footer link must be real, on-theme copy.

**Color Palette (source of truth):**
- Primary: Spray Red `#FF2D2D`, Electric Yellow `#FFE600`, Neon Green `#39FF14`, Deep Black `#0D0D0D`
- Secondary: Spray Blue `#0080FF`, Hot Pink `#FF1493`, Concrete Grey `#808080`, Brick Brown `#8B4513`

**Required Sections (in this order):**
1. **Sticky Header** — brand wordmark (Permanent Marker, sticker-style, slightly rotated), anchor nav (Features, How It Works, Testimonials, Pricing, FAQ), theme toggle, mobile hamburger.
2. **Hero** — full-viewport; giant Permanent Marker `h1` (uppercase, `letter-spacing: 0.05em`, `text-shadow: 3px 3px 0 #0D0D0D`, slight rotation), tagline, two CTAs (`.btn--primary` spray red + `.btn--secondary` electric yellow), rotated tag-style sticker badges (e.g., "100% REBEL"), splatter accent shapes.
3. **Features** — exactly 3 cards: Material Symbol icon in a neon badge, Permanent Marker title, legible body copy.
4. **How It Works** — exactly 3 steps: spray-can style numbered badges (rotated), connected by a dashed "paint line", title + description each. Use the Brick Brown `#8B4513` CSS brick texture as this section's background with `#FFE600`/`#fefefe` text.
5. **Testimonials** — 3 cards: quote, reviewer name + role, avatar (Material Symbol `person` or styled initials in a neon circle), star rating via Material Symbols `star`; stagger card rotations for a sticker-wall feel.
6. **Pricing** — 3 tiers; middle tier `.card--featured` (Electric Yellow background, black text, rotated "MOST POPULAR" sticker, thicker border, larger shadow). Each tier: name, price, 4–5 features with Material Symbol `check`, CTA button (primary on featured, outline on others).
7. **FAQ** — 5–6 items as an accessible accordion (see 2.4).
8. **Final CTA** — high-energy section (Deep Black or Spray Red background), big Permanent Marker headline, and an **email capture form** (see 2.3).
9. **Footer** — brand, secondary link columns (Product / Company / Legal), social icons (Material Symbols with `aria-label`), copyright line.

## 1. STRICT RULES & ARCHITECTURE

### 1.1 CSS-First Architecture & Zero Inline CSS
- **No Inline CSS:** The `style="..."` attribute is forbidden in all HTML. All styling lives in `style.css`.
- **Class/ID Selectors Only:** All design properties, layout rules, and states are targeted via class or ID selectors.
- **Minimal HTML Modifications:** HTML must remain clean, semantic, and style-agnostic — reskinning the site must require editing only `style.css`, never the markup.

### 1.2 CSS Variables & Theme Tokens
Store every visual token in `:root` and override per theme. Required baseline:

```css
:root {
  /* Brand */
  --primary: #FF2D2D;      /* Spray Red */
  --secondary: #FFE600;    /* Electric Yellow */
  --accent-neon: #39FF14;  /* Neon Green */
  --accent-blue: #0080FF;  /* Spray Blue */
  --accent-pink: #FF1493;  /* Hot Pink */
  --accent-brick: #8B4513; /* Brick Brown */

  /* Light theme — "Day Wall" (concrete) */
  --bg-primary: #808080;   /* concrete grey + CSS noise texture */
  --bg-secondary: #fefefe;  /* card/sticker surfaces — never #ffffff */
  --text-primary: #0D0D0D;
  --text-secondary: #3d3d3d;
  --text-success: #0e7a0c;
  --text-error: #b00000;
  --border-default: #0D0D0D;
  --border-error: #b00000;
  --border-success: #0e7a0c;
  --focus-ring: #0D0D0D;

  /* Shape & depth — hard, gritty, no soft blur in light mode */
  --radius-sm: 2px; --radius-md: 4px; --radius-lg: 8px; /* sharp, street edges */
  --shadow-sm: 3px 3px 0 var(--border-default);
  --shadow-md: 6px 6px 0 var(--border-default);

  /* Motion & space */
  --spacing-gap: 1.5rem;
  --transition-fast: 150ms;
  --transition-normal: 300ms;
  --ease-standard: cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1); /* snappy street energy */

  /* Layering */
  --z-dropdown: 1000; --z-modal: 1100; --z-toast: 1200;

  /* Type */
  --font-display: 'Permanent Marker', cursive;
  --font-base: 'Rubik', sans-serif;
}
```

- **Contrast Pairing (enforced in every theme):** light backgrounds pair with dark text; dark backgrounds pair with light text. Pre-validated pairs you must reuse: `#0D0D0D` on `#808080`, `#fefefe`, `#FFE600`, `#FF2D2D`, `#39FF14`, `#FF1493`; `#fefefe`/`#FFE600` on `#0D0D0D`, `#1c1c1c`, `#8B4513`.
- **Neon Text Rule:** Neon colors (`#39FF14`, `#FFE600`, `#FF1493`) may be used as TEXT only on dark backgrounds (`#0D0D0D`/`#1c1c1c`/`#8B4513`). On light/concrete surfaces, neon appears only as fills, borders, or underlines carrying `#0D0D0D` text.
- **Light Mode Background:** Never pure white; the base is Concrete Grey `#808080` with a CSS noise texture; use `#fefefe` where a near-white surface is needed.
- **Dark theme overrides ("Night Alley"):** `--bg-primary: #0D0D0D; --bg-secondary: #1c1c1c; --text-primary: #fefefe; --text-secondary: #b8b8b8; --text-success: #39FF14; --text-error: #ff6b6b; --border-default: #fefefe; --border-error: #ff6b6b; --border-success: #39FF14; --focus-ring: #39FF14;` and swap hard black shadows for neon glows (e.g., `0 0 14px rgba(57,255,20,0.35)`).

### 1.3 Mandatory Dark Mode Support
- Define dark tokens under BOTH `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)` and a `.dark` class on `<html>`.
- Theme switching must work purely by swapping CSS variables — no HTML restructuring.
- Persist the user's choice in `localStorage` (e.g., key `graffiti-theme`), falling back to `prefers-color-scheme` on first visit. Implement in `script.js`.
- Provide a visible toggle in the header using Material Symbols (`dark_mode`/`light_mode`) with correct `aria-pressed` and `aria-label` state.

### 1.4 Flexbox Layout & Mobile-First Alignment
- Build all layout structures with Flexbox.
- **Every flex container defaults to `align-items: center`** unless an exception is explicitly justified in a CSS comment.
- All layouts must be mobile-responsive out of the box: rows collapse to columns on small viewports; **zero horizontal scrolling** at any width (clamp rotated elements and splatter shapes so they never cause overflow).

### 1.5 Framework Default & Tailwind CSS Integration
- Default to Tailwind CSS utilities for layout/spacing (build or CDN), or clean custom CSS organized with `@layer` (tokens → base → components → utilities).
- All utility classes must map back to CSS variables or generic reusable component classes (`.btn`, `.card`, `.input-group`, `.faq__item`). All theme styling, textures, and effects live in `style.css`.

### 1.6 Typography & Icons (Google Fonts Mandatory)
- **Text:** Load Google Fonts via `<link>`: `Permanent Marker` for all display type (headings, buttons, badges, prices) and `Rubik` (400/500/700) for body copy, bound to `--font-display` and `--font-base`. Display text: `text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.05em; font-weight: 700`.
- **Icons:** Use Google Material Symbols only. Raw inline SVGs and local icon files are forbidden for icons.
- **EXPLICIT EXCEPTION:** The theme spec requires drip-effect borders via SVG. Inline SVG is permitted **exclusively** for decorative drip borders and splatter shapes; every such SVG must be `aria-hidden="true"` and `pointer-events: none`, colored via `currentColor`/CSS variables. Icons remain Material Symbols, no exceptions.

### 1.7 Theme Visual Effects (CSS Implementation)
- **Spray noise/grain:** CSS-only — layered `radial-gradient`/`repeating-linear-gradient` noise, or an SVG `feTurbulence` data-URI referenced as `background-image` inside `style.css` (data-URIs in CSS are permitted and do not violate the inline-SVG icon ban).
- **Concrete/brick backgrounds:** CSS gradient patterns only (brick = repeating offset rows in `#8B4513` tones). No image files.
- **Drip borders:** Per the exception in 1.6, decorative SVG drips on card/section edges.
- **Gritty shadows:** Hard offset shadows (`3px 3px 0`) and `text-shadow: 3px 3px 0 #0D0D0D` on display text in light mode; neon glows in dark mode.
- **Irregular feel:** Utility classes `.tilt--left { transform: rotate(-2deg); }` and `.tilt--right { transform: rotate(3deg); }` applied to headings, stickers, badges, and step numbers — never to body paragraphs, form inputs, or footer link lists.
- **Splatter animations on hover:** CSS keyframe "splat burst" (pseudo-element dots scaling/fading) on buttons and cards.

## 2. COMPONENT DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

### 2.1 Button Component Requirements
Style all states via CSS classes (`.btn`, `.btn--primary`, `.btn--secondary`, `.btn--outline`, `.btn--danger`):
- **Default:** `display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 0.5rem;` minimum touch target 44×44px; Permanent Marker, uppercase; hard shadow `var(--shadow-sm)`; slight tilt allowed.
- **Hover:** Splatter burst animation + brightness/shadow shift + `cursor: pointer`.
- **Focus:** Distinct `:focus-visible` ring via `--focus-ring` (`outline: 3px solid var(--focus-ring); outline-offset: 2px;`) for keyboard navigation.
- **Active/Pressed:** `transform: scale(0.97)` click feedback.
- **Loading:** Disables interaction, prevents double-clicks, renders a rotating Material Symbol (`progress`) or CSS spinner without changing button dimensions.
- **Disabled:** `opacity: 0.5; filter: grayscale(1); cursor: not-allowed;`
- **Success/Error:** Temporary feedback styles driven by `--text-success` / `--text-error`.
- **Color rules:** `#0D0D0D` text on `#FF2D2D`, `#FFE600`, and `#FF1493` fills in both themes. `.btn--danger` must be visually distinct in both themes (Hot Pink fill, thick black border).

### 2.2 Card Component Requirements
Applies to feature, testimonial, and pricing cards:
- **Default:** Flexible Flexbox (column) layout, `--bg-secondary` surface, thick `2–3px solid var(--border-default)` border, `var(--shadow-sm)` elevation.
- **Hover:** `transform: translateY(-2px)` + elevation shift + splatter accent; drip SVG border revealed on the top edge.
- **Focus-within:** Border highlights (e.g., Neon Green) when a child button/link receives focus.
- **Loading (Skeleton):** Shimmer animation defined in CSS to prevent layout jumps.
- **Empty State:** Structured fallback layout with a Google Material Symbol and clear guidance text.

### 2.3 Form & Input Requirements
Target: the Final CTA email capture. Structure as a Flex container wrapping `<label>`, `<input>`, and a dedicated error feedback container:
- **States:** Empty, Focused (Neon Green outline ring), Filled, Valid (success border + Material Symbol `check_circle`), Invalid (error border, error text, Material Symbol `error`), Disabled, Read-only — all styled in CSS.
- **Behavior:** `script.js` validates the email, renders errors in an `aria-live="polite"` region, and drives the submit button through Loading → Success states. Never rely on color alone — pair every state with an icon and/or text.

### 2.4 Accordion (FAQ) & Modal/Popup Requirements
- **FAQ Accordion:** Use `<details>`/`<summary>` or `button` + `aria-expanded` + region pattern; smooth CSS height transition (`var(--transition-normal)`); rotating Material Symbol `expand_more`; fully keyboard operable.
- **Modal/Popup (if any modal is included):** States for Opening, Open, Loading, Success/Error, Closing — all animated via CSS transitions; centered Flex container (`align-items: center`); backdrop overlay; Material Symbol close button; keyboard focus trapping; close via `Esc` or overlay click; layered with `var(--z-modal)`.

## 3. CORE UX & MICRO-INTERACTION RULES

- **Responsive by Default:** Fluid sizing (`clamp()` for display type), standard breakpoints, zero horizontal overflow at any viewport width.
- **Smooth Animations:** CSS transitions on all state changes using `var(--transition-normal)`; splatter/spray keyframes on hover. Respect `prefers-reduced-motion`: disable splatter animations, rotations, and scroll effects.
- **Accessibility (a11y):** WCAG AA contrast in BOTH light and dark modes (use the pre-validated pairs in 1.2). Never communicate state by color alone. Semantic HTML5 (`header`, `nav`, `main`, `section`, `footer`, `h1`–`h3` hierarchy), correct ARIA roles/labels on the accordion, theme toggle, and mobile menu, logical DOM/focus order, full keyboard operability, and `aria-live` regions for dynamic feedback (form errors, success toasts, loading states). Include a skip-to-content link.
- **Mandatory Visual Feedback:** Every click, hover, and submission triggers a visible state change.
- **Destructive Actions:** `.btn--danger` must be visually distinct in both themes (Hot Pink fill, black text, thick border).

---

## 4. DELIVERABLE & OUTPUT FORMAT

- **File Structure:** Separate `index.html`, `style.css`, and `script.js`. No inline `<script>` blocks beyond a single deferred `script.js` reference. **Explicit exception:** if Tailwind's Play CDN is used, its loader `<script>` tag is the sole additional permitted script.
- **Naming Convention:** BEM throughout — `.hero__title`, `.card--featured`, `.btn--primary`, `.faq__item`, `.pricing__list`. Never mix conventions.
- **Script Scope:** `script.js` contains only: theme toggle + `localStorage` persistence, FAQ accordion behavior (if not native `<details>`), email form validation with `aria-live` feedback, mobile nav toggle, and smooth anchor scrolling (respecting reduced motion).
- **No Unrequested Placeholders:** All copy must be original, on-theme English (street-art voice) for every section listed in Section 0 — no lorem ipsum, no "TBD" labels, no empty links.
- **Quality Bar:** The page must look like a designed, cohesive street-art brand on first render in both themes — gritty and loud on the surface, clean and semantic underneath.
