# Build brief — an original marketing website in the taste of Hotpod Yoga
> Reference: https://www.hotpodyoga.com · UIDiscovery: https://uidiscovery.com/sites/hotpod-yoga · captured 2026-09-23 at a 1440px desktop viewport (+ 390px iPhone shots) · [full page](https://uidiscovery.com/media/captures/hotpod-yoga/full.png) · [scroll video](https://uidiscovery.com/media/captures/hotpod-yoga/preview.mp4)
## 1. Goal
Build an original marketing website for **[the user's brand]** that feels as considered as Hotpod Yoga — same structure, rhythm and polish, entirely new identity and content.
## 2. Originality rules
- Build an ORIGINAL design for the user's own brand in the same *taste* as Hotpod Yoga: structure, rhythm, hierarchy, palette mood and type pairing.
- Never reuse Hotpod Yoga's logo, name, product imagery, illustrations, icons, screenshots or copy. Write new copy for the user's product.
- If the user hasn't said what their product is, ask first (or use clearly marked placeholders like [Brand], [Product], [Audience]).
- Reference screenshots are for looking at, not for embedding or tracing.
## 3. The taste, in short
- Hotpod Yoga (hotpodyoga.com): Health & Fitness marketing website, dark.
- 7 sections: Statement → Features → Content → Features → Footer.
- Spacing: about a screen per idea (median section ≈700px).
- Type: Martina headings over Avenir Pro65 body. Imagery: mostly photography, some typography with little or no imagery.
## 4. Page structure (top to bottom)
### 1. Statement — a large-type moment that sets tone and pace.
- Layout: oversized typography with lots of space. Compact band (200px at 1440), page background; no images (type-led); no interactive controls.
- Slots: Heading; Body copy.
- [Screenshot](https://uidiscovery.com/media/captures/hotpod-yoga/s-02.webp)
### 2. Features — explain the key benefits, grouped so each can be scanned in seconds.
- Layout: section title over a grid or alternating rows of benefit items. Half to one screen (750px at 1440), page background; 12 images/icons (a set of cards or a small gallery); 8 buttons (tabs, toggles or per-card actions); 6 headings → ~5 items under a title.
- Slots: Section title (~3 words, like the reference); 5 items: icon or visual + short title + 1–2 line description; Primary + secondary action.
- Topic (tone/length only — never reuse): “Relaxing beats.”

## 5. Design system
### Colour
| Role | Hex | Use | Contrast on background |
|---|---|---|---|
| background | `#2b052b` | page background | — |
| foreground | `#f4f3f0` | body text, headings | 16.3:1 |
| accent | `#b796f2` | primary buttons, links, highlights — sparingly | 7.5:1 |
| surface | `#212121` | cards, inputs, alternate bands | text on it 14.5:1 |
| muted | `#f4f3f0` | secondary text, borders | 16.3:1 |
Captured palette: `#2b052b` `#b796f2` `#212121` `#f4f3f0`. Roles are assigned automatically — sanity-check them against the screenshot. Keep the palette's *mood* (dark, cool) and proportions; swap the accent for the user's brand colour.
### Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #2b052b;
--foreground: #f4f3f0;
--accent: #b796f2;
--surface: #212121;
--muted: #f4f3f0;
--font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Nunito Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--radius: 12px; /* calibrate from the screenshot */
}
/* Tailwind v4 — in globals.css after @import "tailwindcss"; */
@theme {
--color-background: var(--background);
--color-foreground: var(--foreground);
--color-accent: var(--accent);
--color-surface: var(--surface);
--color-muted: var(--muted);
--font-heading: var(--font-heading);
--font-sans: var(--font-body);
}
```
### Typography
- Headings: **Inter** (Google Fonts) — reference uses Martina. “Martina” is likely a custom or licensed face. Inter is a neutral stand-in — pick a closer free match by eye from the screenshot.
- Body: **Nunito Sans** (Google Fonts) — reference uses Avenir Pro65. “Avenir Pro65” is a licensed face — use Nunito Sans (or Mulish) as the free stand-in, or license the original.
- Scale (starting point, sizes weren't measured — calibrate against the 1440px screenshot): display clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4.25rem), h2 clamp(1.75rem, 3vw, 2.5rem), h3 1.25rem, body 1rem–1.125rem / 1.6, small 0.875rem. Headings: tight tracking (-0.02em), line-height 1.05–1.15.
### Spacing & rhythm
Sections run ≈700px tall at 1440 (median; range 200–750px, captures cap at 1700px) — roughly a screen per idea. Start with 96–120px vertical padding per section on desktop and about two-thirds of that on mobile. One continuous background — separate sections with space and type, not colour bands. 8px spacing grid, 1200–1280px max content width, 24px (mobile) / 32–48px (desktop) gutters.
### Shape, depth & theme
Radii and shadows weren't measured. Read exact corner radius, border and shadow treatment from the screenshots. Dark-first; for a light mode swap background ↔ foreground, lighten the surface, keep the accent and re-check contrast.
## 6. Imagery plan
Measured from 4 section screenshots: mostly **photography**, some typography with little or no imagery (dark, cool, Health & Fitness). Still glance at the linked screenshots to match the exact mood.
### Slot 1 · 2. Features → photography
- Health & Fitness references lean on photography. Count: a set of ~12 in one consistent style. Aspect: 4:3. Look first: [ref 1](https://uidiscovery.com/media/captures/hotpod-yoga/s-03.webp)

### Slot 4 · 5. Features → photography
- Photography, seen in the capture (people). (measured from the screenshot) Count: 1. Aspect: 4:3. Look first: [ref 1](https://uidiscovery.com/media/captures/hotpod-yoga/s-06.webp)
- **Stock** — “runner at sunrise close up dark”: [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/s/photos/runner-at-sunrise-close-up-dark?orientation=landscape) · [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/search/runner%20at%20sunrise%20close%20up%20dark/?orientation=landscape) · [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/images/search/runner%20at%20sunrise%20close%20up%20dark/?orientation=horizontal)

### Slot 5 · 6. Features → photography
- Photography, seen in the capture (people). (measured from the screenshot) Count: a set of ~2 in one consistent style. Aspect: 4:3. Look first: [ref 1](https://uidiscovery.com/media/captures/hotpod-yoga/s-07.webp)
- **Stock** — “healthy breakfast bowl close up dark”: [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/s/photos/healthy-breakfast-bowl-close-up-dark?orientation=landscape) · [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/search/healthy%20breakfast%20bowl%20close%20up%20dark/?orientation=landscape) · [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/images/search/healthy%20breakfast%20bowl%20close%20up%20dark/?orientation=horizontal)

Aspect ratio 4:3. No text, no letters, no logos, no watermarks, no brand marks or trademarked products, no recognisable real people.`
- **No imagery (type-led)** — 1. Statement: No imagery needed — type, spacing and colour do the work. If the screenshot shows a background graphic, rebuild it in CSS (gradient, grid, noise) or a short muted video, not a stock photo.
- **Icons** — 7. Footer: Use one open-source icon set at one stroke weight — Lucide, Phosphor or Heroicons (MIT) — tinted with the text or accent token. Social icons: Simple Icons.
### If the screenshots show a different style
Open the refs first and name what you actually see (photo / product UI / illustration / abstract gradient or 3D / type only). If it differs from the guess, switch routes — UI is built in code, type-only needs no image, otherwise:
- **abstract 3D / gradient** — generate `Abstract 3D render: soft, glossy glass-like shapes and a smooth gradient in #b796f2 and #f4f3f0 on a #2b052b background. Lighting: low-key, moody directional light with deep shadows; cool tone. Minimal and calm, generous negative space on one side for text. Aspect ratio 3:2. No text, no letters, no logos, no watermarks, no brand marks or trademarked products, no recognisable real people.` · stock: [“abstract dark gradient 3d” on Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/s/photos/abstract-dark-gradient-3d?orientation=landscape) (same query works on Pexels/Pixabay)
- **illustration** — generate `Flat vector illustration: calm person meditating, friendly simplified shapes, limited palette of #2b052b, #b796f2, #212121 plus one soft neutral, plenty of empty background, consistent line weight, cool mood. Aspect ratio 3:2. No text, no letters, no logos, no watermarks, no brand marks or trademarked products, no recognisable real people.` · stock: [“wellness flat illustration” on Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/s/photos/wellness-flat-illustration?orientation=landscape) (same query works on Pexels/Pixabay)
- **Licences:** Unsplash and Pexels images are free for commercial use under their own licences; Pixabay under the Pixabay Content License. Check each image's page before use, credit the photographer when asked (good practice anyway), and skip images showing logos, trademarks, branded products or identifiable people without a release.
- **AI generation:** the prompts work with any image model (GPT Image, Imagen, Flux, Midjourney, Firefly, SDXL…) — check its commercial-use terms. Never put the reference brand's name or “in the style of <brand>” in a prompt.
- **Never** download, trace or re-host the reference's own images, illustrations, product shots or logos.
## 7. Build steps
1. Confirm brand, product, audience and the primary action with the user.
2. Set up the tokens (CSS variables / Tailwind @theme) and load the fonts.
3. Build the sections in order, mobile-first, with each reference screenshot open.
4. Write original copy for every slot — match length and tone, never the words.
5. Source every image via the imagery plan (stock or generated); compress it and record credits.
6. Run the checklist at 390 / 768 / 1440px and fix what fails.
## 8. Acceptance checklist
- [ ] Responsive at 390px, 768px and 1440px — no horizontal scroll, tap targets ≥ 44px on mobile.
- [ ] Colour contrast WCAG AA: 4.5:1 body text, 3:1 large text and UI; visible focus states; full keyboard navigation.
- [ ] Semantic HTML: one <h1>, ordered headings, landmarks (header/nav/main/footer), labelled form fields, alt text on meaningful images.
- [ ] Performance: modern image formats with width/height set, lazy-load below the fold, ≤ 2 font families with font-display: swap, LCP < 2.5s.
- [ ] prefers-reduced-motion respected; animations under ~300ms and never blocking content.
- [ ] Originality: no copied logos, images, illustrations or copy from the reference; every image licensed or generated; credits recorded.
## 9. If you use Next.js + Tailwind
Paste the @theme block into globals.css, load fonts with next/font/google, make each section a server component in components/sections/, use next/image with explicit sizes, and keep client components for interactive bits only (menus, toggles, accordions).
