Frosted Slate Marigold Review Counter

/frostedSlateMarigoldReviewCounter
Design philosophy: make the familiar 2018 café-owner website feel sharper through frosted neutrals, soft glass social proof, and one marigold decision colour borrowed from the review stars. Core beliefs: clarity, real photography, maintained menus, and visible trust cues should carry the page. Strict rules: light slate-white navbar, 80vh hero with counter or window-seat photography, translucent review card over image, golden stars, marigold CTA, quiet text menu link, centered headline section with review count, alternating image-copy rows, one background-image story strip with restrained overlay, ruled HTML-table menu, and practical location columns. Typography philosophy: pair Raleway, Museo Sans, or Gill Sans Nova with Lato, Source Sans 3, or dark DM Sans. Spacing: steady website-builder rhythm, generous but not luxury sparse. Motion: opacity, underline hovers only. Imagery: daylight, trays, tills, staff hands. Refuses badges, avatars, beige, gradients, chalkboard clichés. Mediocre implementation: generic yellow café template. Common mistakes: too much marigold, frosted card illegibility, cramped menu rows.
