For a web app called Cardsmith, built by a two-person studio (Reyna Okafor and Theo Lindqvist) who got tired of design software that overcomplicates a business card, build a working card-design tool, not a static template gallery: a user picks a layout, edits real fields (name, title, company, contact info), and sees a photorealistic preview update live before ordering prints or exporting a print-ready PDF. For the hero, use a full-bleed static photo of an actual finished card resting on a slightly textured dark surface, shot close and low so the card's edge and a subtle spot-gloss detail catch the light; overlay nothing but a soft vignette at the corners, no gradient needed since the card itself is the subject. The nav reads 'Cardsmith,' the headline reads 'Design a card you'd actually hand someone.', the subheadline reads 'Real-time preview, print-ready export, no design software required.', and the CTA reads 'Start designing — free.' Set the display face as a confident geometric sans, Söhne, sized so the hero headline spans roughly clamp(2rem, 4.5vw, 3.75rem), paired with Inter for UI and body copy at 15px/1.5 so the dense editor controls stay compact and legible. Ground the palette in a warm graphite neutral, #201F1D, never pure black, with a single brass-gold accent, #B8935A, repeating on the primary CTA, the selected-template border, and the card's live gloss-highlight described below, so the product reads premium even in grayscale. Structure the core editor as an asymmetric split rather than a centered form: a compact field-and-style panel sits on the left (font pairing, one of six card layouts, a color picker limited to a curated palette so results stay tasteful), while the right two-thirds of the screen is dominated by the card preview itself, rendered oversized at roughly 1.6x actual card proportions so every text and spacing change is immediately legible; below the editor, a template gallery section shows six named starting layouts ('Minimal,' 'Bold Mark,' 'Letterpress,' 'Dual-Tone,' 'Photo Back,' 'Signature Script') as real card mockups rather than generic thumbnails, and an ordering section shows real pricing ('100 cards, matte finish — $34' and 'Digital PDF export — free'). The signature moment is the live card preview's physical behavior: as a user moves their cursor across it, the card tilts subtly in 3D (max 6 degrees) to track the pointer, and a soft diagonal gloss highlight sweeps across the surface as it tilts, mimicking how light catches an actual printed card — this same tilt-and-gloss treatment should reappear on the six gallery thumbnails on hover and in the final order-confirmation preview, so it reads as Cardsmith's one consistent idea rather than a one-off hero trick. Motion stays quick and precise to match a design tool: the 3D tilt tracks the cursor at a responsive 80ms ease-out, template selection swaps the live preview with a 180ms cross-fade, and the editor panel's field changes reflect on the card instantly with no transition delay so editing feels direct; under prefers-reduced-motion, disable the tilt tracking entirely and keep the card flat and static, with template swaps as an instant cut. Every sample name, title, and company shown in previews or the template gallery should read as a real person and real business — no 'Jane Doe,' no 'Company Name,' no placeholder text anywhere.
