Capsule

# Build a website in the "Capsule" style

You are building a production-ready website. Follow the design system below exactly and adapt the content to the project. The design comes from the Qalib library (design No. 239).

## 1. The project

- Name: [fill in]
- Type of site: [fill in]
- What it does: [fill in]
- Languages: Arabic and English: Arabic first (RTL) and a full English version (LTR) with a language switch
- Pages: One page with sections and anchor links
- Contact details: [fill in]
- Assets: No photos yet: use suitable placeholders and mark each one TODO for replacement.

## 2. Visual reference

- Live demo (Arabic): https://qalib.omardeek.tech/demos/capsule/ar.html
- Live demo (English): https://qalib.omardeek.tech/demos/capsule/en.html

Each demo is one HTML file with all its CSS in a <style> tag. Download the raw file (for example `curl -s <url>`), not a summary of it, and treat its CSS as the source of truth for spacing, sizes and effects. The demo's business and text are fictional: never copy them.

## 3. Design DNA: Bento

The page is a bento box: rounded cards of different sizes sitting side by side in one grid, each holding a single idea (a number, a photo, a feature, an address). Calm and orderly in the manner of Apple's pages, and a good fit for apps, products and modern cafés.

- **Typography:** A clean sans in heavy weights for headings and very large numbers inside the cards, with small quiet grey text.
- **Colour:** A very light grey page (#F5F5F7 or close) or a very dark one, white or slightly darker cards, and one brand colour that fills only one or two cards.
- **Layout:** A four-column CSS grid with varied spans (grid-column/grid-row: span), a large 2×2 card opening each grid, and fixed gaps of 12–16px; even the figures and the contact details become cards.
- **Shapes:** Large rounded corners (24px), a very soft shadow, no heavy borders, pill buttons.
- **Imagery:** Product or place photos that fill their card completely (object-fit: cover), and simple line icons.
- **Motion:** Quiet: a card grows slightly on hover (scale 1.02) and the cards appear one after another on scroll.
- **Details:** Small labels at the top of each card, huge numbers, a pill badge for status, a small arrow in the corner of clickable cards.
- **Avoid:** Cards all the same size, heavy shadows, many colours, long text inside cards.

**This design in particular:** Ivory, dusty pink and black; the exhibitions in cards like a tidy capsule collection, under a magazine-cover headline.

## 4. Design tokens

```css
:root {
  --bg: #F6F2EE; /* page background */
  --surface: #FFFFFF; /* cards, panels, alternate sections */
  --ink: #1C1717; /* main text */
  --muted: #6B5F5C; /* secondary text */
  --accent: #1C1717; /* buttons, links, highlights */
  --accent2: #E7B7B0; /* second highlight */
  --line: #E7E0DA; /* rules and borders */
  --on-accent: #FFFFFF; /* text on the accent colour */
  --radius: 24px;
}
```

- Colour scheme: light
- Fonts (available on Google Fonts and fontsource; self-host them):
  - Arabic headings: Markazi Text (400, 600, 700)
  - Arabic text: Readex Pro (300, 400, 600)
  - Latin headings: Instrument Serif (400)
  - Latin text: DM Sans (400, 500, 700)
- Type scale: h1: clamp(2.7rem, 6.2vw, 5.4rem) · h2: clamp(2rem, 4.2vw, 3.3rem) · h3: 1.25rem · text: 17px with 1.7 line height (Arabic 18px and 1.9) · max width 1200px · section spacing clamp(72px, 10vw, 136px)

## 5. Page structure

The demo shows a Art gallery. Build the sections with these visual treatments, in this order:

1. **Header**: A floating rounded "pill" menu with a frosted background, detached from the top edge.
2. **Hero**: Like a magazine cover: a huge headline over a rule, then three columns: the lead, a photo and side notes.
3. **Main offering** «Exhibitions»: a bento grid: one big tile and smaller tiles of different sizes
4. **About** «About the house»: Two columns: heading, paragraphs and a short signed quote; a tall photo with a smaller photo overlapping its corner.
5. **Schedule** «Programme»: a vertical timeline: times on one side, a line with dots
6. **Gallery** «The rooms»: a bento grid: one big tile and smaller tiles of different sizes
7. **Call to action** «Become a friend of the house»: a full-width coloured band with a heading, a line of text and a button
8. **Contact** «Your visit»: A large card on a tinted background: contact details on one side, the hours and button on the other.
9. **Footer**: four columns (brand and tagline, page links, contact, social) and a bottom bar

## 6. Motion

Subtle: elements fade up about 24px as they enter, staggered by 70ms; light lifts on hover.

## 7. Technical requirements

- **Stack:** Choose the stack that fits the project; prefer static HTML, CSS and JavaScript unless it needs more.
- Semantic HTML, mobile first, adapting at 360, 768, 1024 and 1440px, with no horizontal scrolling.
- Arabic: <html lang="ar" dir="rtl">, CSS logical properties (margin-inline-start, inset-inline-end…), mirrored directional icons, never letter-space or uppercase Arabic, and Arabic text at 18px or more.
- Accessibility: WCAG AA contrast, visible focus states, alt text on images, and all motion off under prefers-reduced-motion.
- Performance: self-hosted fonts with font-display: swap and only the weights and subsets in use, WebP or AVIF images with set dimensions, lazy loading below the first screen, and no heavy libraries for simple effects.
- SEO: a title and description for every page, Open Graph, a favicon, and LocalBusiness structured data where relevant.
- Buttons: WhatsApp links as https://wa.me/<number>, phone as tel:, email as mailto:.

## 8. Delivery

1. Start with the tokens and base styles, then build the sections from top to bottom.
2. Compare the result with the live demo at phone and desktop widths before you finish.
3. Finish with how to run the site and how to deploy it.

Paste it into Claude Code inside a new project folder.
