## Visual thesis

Light, center-aligned visual-first product story with sharp geometry and image-led proof.

Cuebench opens with “cuebench” in a center-aligned visual-led hero. The page continues as an unlabeled visual sequence below the first viewport.

## Color

Light surfaces use 5 repeated semantic colors; the primary action carries the strongest interactive emphasis.

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#f7f5ee` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#171b15` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 1. |
| Primary text | `#171b15` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 16.0:1 contrast against the captured canvas. |
| Secondary text | `rgba(22, 27, 21, 0.8)` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 8.7:1. |
| Action | `#171b15` | Primary action | Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action. |

## Typography

A single-family system uses Avenir Next across display and reading roles, differentiated by size and weight.

| Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| heading | Avenir Next | 80px | 400 | normal | 4.8px | normal | none | rgb(23, 27, 21) |
| body | Avenir Next | 18.4px | 400 | 32.2px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(23, 27, 21) |
| label | Avenir Next | 13.12px | 400 | normal | 0.7872px | normal | none | rgba(22, 27, 21, 0.800) |

## Spacing and shape

- Base unit: 8px
- Density: sparse
- Maximum content width: 672px
- Section gap: 32px
- Container padding: 32px
- Common spacing: `32px`, `19px`, `6.5px`, `24px`, `16px`, `14.5px`, `35px`, `25.5px`, `9px`, `22.5px`
- Corner strategy: Sharp geometry is the dominant shape voice. Separation relies on borders and surface contrast rather than shadow.
- Radii: Containers `2px`, Media `5px`, Buttons `0px`
- Borders: `1px solid transparent`, `1px solid rgba(23, 27, 23, 0.220)`
- Shadows: `None observed`

## Layout

- Macrostructure: Visual marquee narrative
- Hero: Visual marquee: imagery carries most of the opening surface
- Grid: Single-column flow
- Footer: Utility footer with 4 actions
- Reading flow: The page continues as an unlabeled visual sequence below the first viewport.
- Section sequence: No semantic section sequence detected

## Component grammar

### Hero

Visual led, center-aligned opening anchored by “Book a demo”.

- Role: Opening proposition
- Observed instances: 1
  - Pattern: `visual-led`
  - Alignment: `center`
  - Heading: `80px`
  - Media: `image-led`

### Navigation

Persistent navigation with 1 visible actions in the desktop opening.

- Role: Global wayfinding
- Observed instances: 1
  - Text: `#171b15`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Padding: `24px 32px 24px 32px`
  - Type: `Avenir Next · 16px / 400`
  - Position: `fixed`
  - Height: `70px`

### Primary action

“Book a demo” is the strongest first-viewport action by semantic intent and visual contrast.

- Role: Conversion
- Observed instances: 1
  - Background: `#171b15`
  - Text: `#f7f5ee`
  - Border: `1px solid transparent`
  - Radius: `2px`
  - Padding: `14.4px 35.2px 14.4px 35.2px`
  - Type: `Avenir Next · 15.2px / 400`

### Media frame

1 style-matched media element was found among 3 rendered candidates; fill fitting and 0px are the most repeated treatments.

- Role: Visual proof
- Observed instances: 1
  - Fit: `fill`
  - Ratios: `4.70, 1.00, 1.60`
  - Radius: `0px, 5px`
  - Candidate pool: `3`

### Footer

4 visible actions close the page on a transparent surface.

- Role: Closing navigation
- Observed instances: 1
  - Text: `rgba(22, 27, 21, 0.8)`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Padding: `0px 25.6px 48px 25.6px`
  - Type: `Avenir Next · 13.12px / 400`
  - Links: `4`

## Imagery

Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration. Multiple visual elements share the first viewport.

- Inventory: 3 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: fill fitting · square-edged frames

## Motion

0 declared keyframes and 0 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 0.45s, 0.3s, 0.18s.

- Libraries: CSS / browser-native or bundled source not identifiable
- Durations: `0.45s`, `0.3s`, `0.18s`, `0.25s`, `0.28s`
- Easings: `ease`, `ease, ease`, `ease, ease, ease`
- Interaction states: hover, focus
- Reduced-motion declaration found: no

## Responsive behavior

Measured at 390 × 844.

- The same 1 visible navigation action remains at mobile width.
- Hero remains center-aligned; mobile heading size is 44.8px.
- Primary content reads as a single-column mobile flow.
- Horizontal overflow: not detected

## Do

- Pair the observed #f7f5ee canvas with #171b15 primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Preserve the first viewport’s existing display-to-body scale contrast.
- Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Book a demo” within the center-aligned visual-led hero.
- Image led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

## Don’t

- Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 2px is the repeated treatment on containers.
- Do not reuse the #171b15 action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond Avenir Next.
- Do not add card shadows; the source separates content without repeated elevation.

## Evidence

- Hero: `/captures/cuebench/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Visible section: cuebench
- Mid-page: `/captures/cuebench/middle.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 533px) — Visible section: cuebench
- Closing: `/captures/cuebench/closing.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 846px) — Closing viewport evidence
- Mobile: `/captures/cuebench/mobile.webp` (390 × 844, scroll 0px) — Visible section: cuebench

## Confidence notes

- The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup.
- 3 responsive breakpoint declarations were inspectable.
- 1 stylesheet was inspectable; 0 cross-origin stylesheets were unavailable to rule inspection.
- Computed styles describe the captured render; source design tokens and proprietary font files were not copied.
