China-Cabinet White & Mulberry Shadow Cards

/chinacabinetWhiteMulberryShadowCards
Design philosophy: a close-family afternoon-tea website-builder system using pure white pages, pale cool-grey card shells, graphite typography, golden yellow review stars, and a dry mulberry accent for CTAs, active nav, and one pull quote. Core beliefs: refinement comes from readable hierarchy, owner-editable blocks, and restrained photographic elegance. Strict rules: light navbar, 80% centered wrapper, modest serif hero, concise copy, paired square CTAs, raised 2014-style cards, simple ruled menu rows, compact contact block. Typography philosophy: pair Cormorant Garamond, Lora, or Libre Baskerville with Lato, PT Sans, or Source Sans Pro; keep body 17–18px. Spacing philosophy: narrow gutters, consistent baselines, no showroom gaps. Motion: opacity fades and underline hovers only. Imagery: china cups, cake stands, floral tablecloth fragments, silver spoons. Refuses beige, stickers, ornate borders, avatars, gradients. Common mistakes: sugary purple, weak contrast, oversized luxury headings, random card shadows.
