Voice & Don'ts
Tone Confident, technical, and direct. Headlines Bold and declarative. CTAs Simple and action-oriented (e.g., 'Get in touch'). don't use serif fonts — screenshot shows monospace and sans-serif. don't use soft, rounded corners — screenshot shows pill buttons and sharp grid lines. don't use subtle shadows — screenshot shows flat, border-based surfaces. don't use a muted, low-contrast palette — screenshot shows high-contrast black and white with bold accents. don't use cursive or decorative scripts — screenshot shows strictly functional typography. don't use complex, multi-color gradients — screenshot shows solid background colors. Avoid: Jargon-heavy explanations without context. Avoid: Overly casual or playful language. Avoid: Visual clutter or unnecessary decorative elements.

This is a developer tool SaaS site for PlanetScale, a database infrastructure platform. The design is dominated by monospace typography (ui-monospace), giving it a technical, command-line aesthetic. Key hex colors include #414141 for primary ink, #FAFAFA for background, #0B6EC5 for links, and #F35815 for call-to-action accents. The layout is clean and grid-based, with a clear hierarchy established through font weight and size. Critical don'ts: avoid using serif fonts, avoid soft rounded corners, and avoid low-contrast color palettes. The site prioritizes clarity and readability for a technical audience.
