## Visual thesis

Dark, center-aligned visual-first product story with soft geometry and video-led proof.

Maritime \| Deploy AI Agents for $1/month opens with “Host persistent agents on the cloud.” in a center-aligned visual-led hero. The homepage continues through 15 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into Give your agents true autonomy. Their own space to explore, build, break things, and try again, Every agent gets a real, persistent machine that's up in half a second.

## Color

Dark surfaces use 8 repeated semantic colors; the primary action carries the strongest interactive emphasis.

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#0a0a0a` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#000000` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 112. |
| Surface 2 | `#0a0b0e` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 79. |
| Surface 3 | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 71. |
| Primary text | `#ffffff` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 19.8:1 contrast against the captured canvas. |
| Secondary text | `#8a8a8a` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 5.7:1. |
| Action | `#ffffff` | Primary action | Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action. |
| Border | `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.102)` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. |

## Typography

The observed type system assigns Geist to display, heading, body, body-small text; Geist Mono to label text.

| Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| display | Geist | 72px | 400 | 68.4px | -3.6px | normal | none | rgb(255, 255, 255) |
| heading | Geist | 36px | 400 | 45px | -0.9px | normal | none | rgb(255, 255, 255) |
| body | Geist | 18px | 400 | 29.25px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(138, 138, 138) |
| body-small | Geist | 15px | 400 | 24.375px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(138, 138, 138) |
| label | Geist Mono | 12px | 400 | 18px | 0px | normal | none | rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.600) |

## Layout

- Macrostructure: Visual marquee narrative
- Hero: Visual marquee: imagery carries most of the opening surface
- Grid: 2 columns
- Footer: Index footer with 30 actions
- Reading flow: The homepage continues through 15 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into Give your agents true autonomy. Their own space to explore, build, break things, and try again, Every agent gets a real, persistent machine that's up in half a second.
- Section sequence: Give your agents true autonomy. Their own space to explore, build, break things, and try again. → Every agent gets a real, persistent machine that's up in half a second. → Run your agent here. Dashboard, CLI, and SDK. → Or keep your agent, but give it a computer. One MCP. A desktop per user id. → Give your agents a dedicated desktop. → Building an agent startup? Get up to $10,000 in credits. → Deploy your first agent. → Give each of your users their own VM, forever. → Persistent workspace. → Download and run software. → Run AI generated code. → Actual isolation and safety. → An actual VM. → A persistent disk. → Really fast boot and wake latency.

## Component grammar

### Hero

Visual led, center-aligned opening anchored by “Start free”.

- Role: Opening proposition
- Observed instances: 1
  - Pattern: `visual-led`
  - Alignment: `center`
  - Heading: `Geist · 72px / 400`
  - Media: `video-led`

### Navigation

Static navigation with 6 visible actions in the desktop opening.

- Role: Global wayfinding
- Observed instances: 1
  - Text: `#d4d4d4`
  - Border: `1px solid transparent`
  - Radius: `10px`
  - Padding: `0px 0px 0px 0px`
  - Type: `Geist · 16px / 400`
  - Position: `static`
  - Height: `58px`

### Primary action

“Start free” is the strongest first-viewport action by semantic intent and visual contrast.

- Role: Conversion
- Observed instances: 1
  - Background: `#ffffff`
  - Text: `#000000`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `4px`
  - Padding: `0px 24px 0px 24px`

- Role: Visual proof
- Observed instances: 7
  - Fit: `fill, cover`
  - Ratios: `1.27, 1.57, 1.60, 0.74, 2.96`
  - Radius: `0px, 9999px`
  - Candidate pool: `58`

  - Links: `30`

## Imagery

Video led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration. A focused visual anchors the first viewport.

- Inventory: 56 images/canvas elements and 2 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: fill fitting · square-edged frames

## Motion

12 declared keyframes and 20 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 0.15s, 10s, 0.4s.

- Libraries: CSS / browser-native or bundled source not identifiable
- Durations: `0.15s`, `10s`, `0.4s`, `1s`, `0.3s`
- Easings: `ease-out`, `linear`, `ease`, `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`, `cubic-bezier(0.7, 0, 0.2, 1)`, `ease-in-out`, `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)`
- Interaction states: focus, transition-all, hover, active, disabled
- Reduced-motion declaration found: yes

## Responsive behavior

Measured at 390 × 844.

- Desktop navigation reduces from 6 visible actions to 2.
- Hero remains center-aligned; mobile heading size is 36px.
- Observed multi-column desktop regions collapse to a single-column mobile flow.
- Horizontal overflow: not detected

## Do

- Pair the observed #0a0a0a canvas with #ffffff primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Use Geist at 72px/68.4px, weight 400, for the primary display moment.
- Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “Start free” within the center-aligned visual-led hero.
- Video led media acts as the page’s primary visual proof rather than decoration.

## Don’t

- Do not mix in arbitrary radii; 4px is the repeated treatment on containers.
- Do not reuse the #ffffff action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond Geist and Geist Mono.
- Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.

## Evidence

- Hero: `/captures/maritime/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Hero viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mid-page: `/captures/maritime/middle.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 3125px) — Mid-page viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Closing: `/captures/maritime/closing.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 6030px) — Closing viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mobile: `/captures/maritime/mobile.webp` (390 × 844, scroll 0px) — Mobile viewport evidence; animated text state captured.

## Confidence notes

- The hero heading was read from semantic heading markup.
- 5 responsive breakpoint declarations were inspectable.
- 8 stylesheets were 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.
