# Build a website in the "Jazz" 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. 172).
## 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/jazz/ar.html
- Live demo (English): https://qalib.omardeek.tech/demos/jazz/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: Art Deco
The glamour of the twenties: geometric gold lines, sunbursts and fans, stepped forms, strict symmetry and tall thin letters. For parties, hotels and perfume.
- **Typography:** A tall thin twenties display face in widely spaced capitals, and a geometric Kufi for Arabic.
- **Colour:** Black, emerald or navy, with gold and brass, and cream for text.
- **Layout:** Full symmetry, central motifs, frames with stepped corners, sections divided by gold lines with diamond ends.
- **Shapes:** Chamfered or stepped corners, arches, diamonds, sunbursts.
- **Imagery:** Art Deco architecture, rich interiors, glasses and lights.
- **Motion:** Composed: sunbursts that open, gold lines that draw in.
- **Details:** A fan motif above headings, numbers in diamonds, triple parallel lines.
- **Avoid:** Organic shapes, chunky rounded type, childish pastels.
**This design in particular:** Deep wine, gold and silent notes, a music school with a jazz club's nights: gold sunbursts, lessons in a dotted list and a gilded frame.

## 5. Page structure
The demo shows a Music school. Build the sections with these visual treatments, in this order:
1. **Header**: The logo centred on top with the links in a row beneath it, like a masthead; the call-to-action sits at the end.
2. **Hero**: Headline, lead and buttons centred inside a decorative frame, with a wide photo underneath.
3. **About** «About Maqam»: A large centred quote with a signature, then the heading and paragraphs in two columns, then a strip of two photos.
4. **Main offering** «Instruments»: a menu in groups, each item with a dotted leader running to its price
5. **Schedule** «This week»: a vertical timeline: times on one side, a line with dots
6. **Pricing** «Fees»: pricing cards with the featured option highlighted, a feature list and a button
7. **Testimonials** «Our students»: one large centred testimonial at a time, rotating every few seconds, with dots
8. **Call to action** «The winter concert»: a full-width coloured band with a heading, a line of text and a button
9. **Contact** «Enrolment»: A large card on a tinted background: contact details on one side, the hours and button on the other.
10. **Footer**: the business name set huge across the footer, above the columns
## 6. Motion
Subtle: elements fade up about 24px as they enter, staggered by 70ms; light lifts on hover.
**Decorations in this design:**
- small ornamental dividers between sections: an Art Deco diamond with parallel lines
- an Art Deco sunburst of thin gold rays behind the hero
## 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:.
