Frosted China Gooseberry Tea Ledger

/frostedChinaGooseberryTeaLedger
Design philosophy: a visually close, light-theme café register with frosted-white surfaces, pale pewter rules, charcoal ink, golden review stars, and a dry gooseberry accent pulled from review warmth rather than branding. Core beliefs: trust is built through clear menus, authentic photography, review proof, and owner-editable structure. Strict rules: light navbar, tall hero with window-table or cake-stand photography, star rating beside booking/menu links, centered headline with review count, HTML-table menu with fine rules, one gooseberry notice panel, background-image quote overlay, and practical location columns. Typography philosophy: pair Plantin, Sabon, or Tiempos Text with Source Serif 4 or Charter; all-serif, sturdy, readable. Spacing: modular, calm, not luxury sparse. Motion: opacity fades and underline hovers only. Imagery: receipts, teacups, window reflections. Refuses badges, avatars, beige, floral wallpaper. Mediocre implementation: pale green bakery flyer. Common mistakes: weak accent contrast, cramped menu rows, overdecorated dividers.
