## Visual thesis

Light, left-aligned visual-first product story with soft geometry and image-led proof.

Palisade opens with “Agents that make markets.” in a left-aligned visual-led hero. The homepage continues through 12 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into One install. A whole team of agents, Your traffic is full of buyers you can't see, The other side of your market gets an agent too.

## Color

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

| Token | Value | Role | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Canvas | `#90ab83` | Page canvas | Dominant rendered page background. |
| Surface 1 | `#f7faf8` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 105. |
| Surface 2 | `#f4f4f0` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 83. |
| Surface 3 | `#ffffff` | Surface | Repeated container or section fill; relative occurrence score 73. |
| Primary text | `#11160f` | Primary text | Observed display foreground with 7.3:1 contrast against the captured canvas. |
| Secondary text | `#4b6042` | Secondary text | Observed reading foreground; measured canvas-reference contrast is 2.7:1. |
| Action | `#11160f` | Primary action | Fill used by the dominant first-viewport action. |
| Border | `#000000` | Border and divider | Most repeated inspectable border color. |

## Typography

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

| Role | Family | Size | Weight | Line height | Tracking | Style | Features | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| display | Euclid | 72px | 700 | 79.2px | -0.4px | normal | none | rgb(17, 22, 15) |
| heading | Euclid | 96px | 700 | 96px | -4.8px | normal | none | rgb(17, 22, 15) |
| body | Euclid | 20px | 400 | 32.5px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(75, 96, 66) |
| body-small | Euclid | 14px | 400 | 22.75px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(75, 96, 66) |
| label | Euclid | 10px | 500 | 15px | 0px | normal | none | rgb(17, 22, 15) |

## Spacing and shape

- Base unit: 4px

## Layout

- Macrostructure: Visual marquee narrative
- Hero: Visual marquee: imagery carries most of the opening surface
- Grid: 2 columns
- Footer: Utility footer with 8 actions
- Reading flow: The homepage continues through 12 observed sections, moving from the opening proposition into One install. A whole team of agents, Your traffic is full of buyers you can't see, The other side of your market gets an agent too.
- Section sequence: One install. A whole team of agents. → Your traffic is full of buyers you can't see. → The other side of your market gets an agent too. → Your product gets smarter every day. → Start with one line of code. → Palisade → For every buyer → For owners &amp; sellers → For your team → No Two Users See the Same Site → Watchers on Every Channel → Every Agent Reports Back

## Component grammar

### Hero

Visual led, left-aligned opening anchored by “See it on your own site”.

- Role: Opening proposition
- Observed instances: 1
  - Pattern: `visual-led`
  - Alignment: `left`
  - Heading: `Euclid · 72px / 700`
  - Media: `image-led`

### Navigation

Static navigation with 3 visible actions in the desktop opening.

- Role: Global wayfinding
- Observed instances: 1
  - Text: `#11160f`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Padding: `24px 24px 24px 24px`
  - Type: `Euclid · 16px / 400`
  - Position: `static`
  - Height: `76px`

### Primary action

“See it on your own site” is the strongest first-viewport action by semantic intent and visual contrast.

- Role: Conversion
- Observed instances: 1
  - Background: `#11160f`
  - Text: `#ffffff`
  - Border: `none`
  - Radius: `12px`
  - Padding: `16px 32px 16px 32px`
  - Type: `Euclid · 16px / 500`

### Media frame

4 style-matched media elements were found among 6 rendered candidates; cover fitting and 0px are the most repeated treatments.

- Role: Visual proof
- Observed instances: 4
  - Fit: `cover, fill, contain`
  - Ratios: `3.50, 0.24, 1.00`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Candidate pool: `6`

### Footer

8 visible actions close the page on a rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.502) surface.

- Role: Closing navigation
- Observed instances: 1
  - Background: `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.502)`
  - Text: `#11160f`
  - Border: `1px solid rgba(20, 20, 20, 0.102)`
  - Radius: `0px`
  - Padding: `80px 0px 40px 0px`
  - Type: `Euclid · 16px / 400`
  - Links: `8`

## Imagery

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

- Inventory: 6 images/canvas elements and 0 videos across the analyzed homepage.
- Treatment: cover fitting · square-edged frames

## Motion

4 declared keyframes and 14 active animations were inspectable at capture; observed timing uses 0.15s, 1s, 2s.

- Libraries: CSS / browser-native or bundled source not identifiable
- Durations: `0.15s`, `1s`, `2s`, `0.2s`, `0.3s`, `0.5s`, `0.7s`, `500ms`
- Easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`, `cubic-bezier(0, 0, 0.2, 1)`, `cubic-bezier(0.8, 0, 1, 1)`, `ease`, `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.6, 1)`, `linear`, `ease-in-out`, `cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.1, 0.35, 1)`
- Interaction states: disabled, transition-all, hover, focus, active
- Reduced-motion declaration found: no

## Responsive behavior

Measured at 390 × 844.

- Desktop navigation reduces from 3 visible actions to 1.
- Hero alignment changes from left to center; mobile heading size is 16px.
- Observed multi-column desktop regions collapse to a single-column mobile flow.
- Horizontal overflow: not detected

## Do

- Pair the observed #90ab83 canvas with #11160f primary copy before adding secondary surfaces.
- Use Euclid at 72px/79.2px, weight 700, for the primary display moment.
- Reserve the strongest first-viewport contrast for “See it on your own site” within the left-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; 9999px is the repeated treatment on pills.
- Do not reuse the #11160f action color across decorative elements; keep its interactive emphasis selective.
- Do not introduce extra type families beyond Euclid.
- Do not copy transition-all declarations; keep only purposeful transform or opacity motion.

## Evidence

- Hero: `/captures/palisade/hero.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 0px) — Hero viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mid-page: `/captures/palisade/middle.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 2858px) — Mid-page viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Closing: `/captures/palisade/closing.webp` (960 × 600, scroll 5495px) — Closing viewport evidence; animated text state captured.
- Mobile: `/captures/palisade/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.
- 1 stylesheet was inspectable; 0 cross-origin stylesheets were unavailable to rule inspection.
