Logo & Brand Mark

The Docupath wordmark is an all-lowercase custom geometric sans set in solid black, closed with a full-stop and accented by a green triangular overlay inside the letter "a". Maintain clear space equal to the x-height of the wordmark on all sides, and never recolour, rotate, or alter the green accent.

Colour Palette

Navy anchors the brand; green drives action. Neutrals and semantic colours support hierarchy, feedback, and depth.

Colour usage

  • Navy — primary headings, navigation, body accents, hero backgrounds.
  • Green — primary CTAs, success states, key data emphasis.
  • Medium/Light Green — hover tints, badges, supporting surfaces.
  • Light Blue — secondary accent for data callouts only.
  • Light Grey — alternating section backgrounds.
  • Semantic — reserve for system feedback, not decoration.

Typography

Poppins carries the interface. Palatino Linotype is used sparingly for display headlines and pull-quotes — it signals warmth and credibility against Poppins' modern geometry.

Semantic heading rules

  • One H1 per page — SEO and accessibility best practice. Palatino is reserved for this single hero heading.
  • H2 for sections — every major section on the page is an H2 in Poppins SemiBold, #1D1D1D.
  • H3 for components — card titles, subsection headings, and feature headers.
  • Don't skip levels — never jump H1 → H3. Screen readers rely on the order.
  • Tight display tracking — H1 and H2 use −0.05em letter-spacing.
  • Links — underlined, #32A27D, visible focus ring on keyboard.

Spacing & Grid

An 8 px base unit with generous section rhythm. Pages use a 1440 px canvas, 72–96 px gutters, and 112 px vertical spacing between major sections.

Layout rules

  • Canvas1920 px design width, 1180 px content max on this doc.
  • Section corners — rounded 100 px top on instructions, skills, solutions outer, and footer bands.
  • Card padding — 28–36 px interior on all cards.
  • Section heights — vary with content: hero ≈ 1080 px · instructions/skills ≈ 1050 px · solutions ≈ 998 px · testimonials ≈ 866 px · footer ≈ 711 px.
  • Breakpoints — 480 · 768 · 1024 · 1280 · 1920.
  • Note — An explicit spacing-token set is not defined in the brand guidelines; the 4–128 px scale above is a convention for implementation.

Radius & Shadow

Rounded corners are friendly but measured; shadows are tinted navy to keep the palette cohesive.

Buttons

One CTA system: a brand-green pill, 48 px tall with a 1 px light-green border and light-green text, carrying a heavy green glow shadow. Used identically in the hero, nav bar, and inline CTAs. Secondary and ghost variants support it.

Navigation, Cards & Testimonials

The nav bar is a rounded white container with a 1 px navy outline — the design's signature "pill bar." Solution cards carry a tinted-green icon tile, a dark title, muted body and an inline CTA.

Two blurred colour orbs — primary #32A27D and accent #72D1F1 — drift on independent 7 s / 9 s loops inside the card, producing a fluid gradient wash that never repeats exactly. The orbs stay behind the content (z-index −1) and are masked by overflow: hidden on the 20 px radius. CTA picks up a light frosted-glass treatment on hover to read clearly against the moving background.

Each card pivots in 3D based on cursor position. Move the pointer across the card and it tilts up to ±10° on X / Y axes — title, body and CTA lift forward with a translateZ(20px) parallax so they read above the surface. A soft green sheen (#ADDEC1 at 35 % opacity) follows the cursor via CSS custom properties (--mx / --my). Returns smoothly to rest on mouseleave. Respects prefers-reduced-motion.

Voice and Do's & Don'ts

Docupath talks like a calm expert — confident, specific, never hyped. Visuals follow the same rule: make one thing obvious, let everything else support it.

Do

  • Lead with a verb and a measurable outcome ("Cut AP review time by 73%").
  • Pair navy with generous white space; let green be the single accent.
  • Use Palatino only for the single H1 per page and editorial quotes.
  • Ship exactly one H1 per page; all other sections start at H2.
  • Keep buttons to one primary action per view.
  • Surface numbers in large navy type with a green supporting label.

Don't

  • Don't stack multiple accent colours in one component.
  • Don't set long paragraphs in Palatino — it is a display face only.
  • Don't use drop shadows beyond the four defined elevations.
  • Don't rotate or outline the logo mark; use the provided lock-up.
  • Don't use more than one H1 per page, even for visual emphasis.
  • Don't skip heading levels (e.g., H1 → H3); follow a clean outline.
  • Don't write marketing superlatives ("amazing", "unbeatable") in UI copy.

Deviations from Brand Guideline v1

This style guide documents decisions that diverge from the "Website Brand Style" PPT (v1). The list below flags each deviation so the brand team can either ratify or reject it in the next brand-doc revision.

Token / Rule Brand guideline v1 Adopted value Rationale
H1 size Palatino 54 pt (≈ 72 px) Palatino Bold 64 px Maintains visual balance in the 1920 px hero alongside the document-stack illustration.
Body / Lede size Poppins 11 pt (≈ 15 px) 20 px for section ledes · 15 px for card body Two body sizes retained: 15 px for dense UI copy, 20 px for section introductions at desktop scale.
Pull quote Palatino 11 pt (≈ 15 px) Palatino Italic 16 px Italic + slightly larger size reinforces the editorial voice on testimonial cards.
Subtitle token Poppins 11 pt Bold Not used — Body L substitutes No section in the current homepage needs this treatment; token reserved for future but not exposed in the library.
Link colour #32AC64 (confirmed transcription slip) #32A27D (primary green) Differs from primary green by four hex digits; confirmed by designer as a transcription error, not a distinct intentional colour.
Heading tracking Not specified −0.05em on H1 and H2 Documented here for consistency; tightening improves display-type balance at large sizes.
Footer preview radius Design spec: 100 px top-corner radius on the full-bleed footer 40 px in the style-guide preview · 28 px in the mobile preview The full-bleed footer is designed at 1920 px wide. Previews are shown at a reduced scale inside the guide card, so the radius is stepped down proportionally to read as the same shape. Production build must use the tokenised --r-section: 100px.
Footer column headings (preview) Spec: Poppins SemiBold 20 px · tracking −1 px 15 px · −0.02em in desktop preview · 13 px in mobile preview Type scales down with the preview frame so the heading-to-link size relationship matches the full-size render. Production site restores the 20 px / −1 px values.

For the brand team

  • Ratify or reject each of the eight deviations above.
  • Replace #32AC64 with #32A27D in the next brand-doc revision.
  • Consider adding the two-size body scale (15 / 20 px) to the written spec.
  • Add the CTA pill and nav-pill components to the brand library.

Until ratified

  • Don't revert implementations to the PPT values mid-build — it will create drift from these specifications.
  • Don't introduce a second link colour — inline links follow the primary green until told otherwise.
  • Don't reinstate the 11 pt Subtitle token without a section that actually needs it.
  • Don't change heading sizes downstream without updating this document first.
