Ice White Mandarin Counter Sheet
/iceWhiteMandarinCounterSheet
Design philosophy: create a bright, practical counter-service aesthetic with crisp ice whites, cool grays, and one sharp mandarin action colour used only for decisions. Core beliefs: the page should feel useful, maintained, and local; the delight comes from daylight imagery, typography, and clean section rhythm. Strict rules: pale navbar, 80vh hero with counter tiles, trays, staff hands, or exterior signage, mandarin CTA, understated secondary menu link, small authentic review line, centered headline block, alternating feature rows, one mandarin feature section with charcoal text, background-photo quote panel with a light-dark overlay, menu laid out like a printed price sheet, and clear hours/address/contact/directions. Typography philosophy: use Benton Sans, News Gothic, DIN 2014, or IBM Plex Sans with Karla, Lato, or Noto Sans; avoid thin weights. Spacing: modular and readable, never luxury sparse. Motion: opacity only. Refuses icon grids, SaaS cards, gradients, beige. Mediocre implementation: orange smeared everywhere. Common mistakes: weak CTA contrast, cramped rows, glossy stock photography.
