# Build a website in the "Metric" 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. 063).
## 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/metric/ar.html
- Live demo (English): https://qalib.omardeek.tech/demos/metric/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: Digital
The aesthetics of screens and technology: dark backgrounds, monospaced type, grids and measurement lines, terminal windows and neon glow. For tech, software and tech events.
- **Typography:** A monospaced face for headings and labels, a technical sans for text, small uppercase labels.
- **Colour:** Near-black or deep navy background, light text, one or two neon accents (green, cyan, magenta) with glow.
- **Layout:** A visible hairline grid, sections like dashboards, tables and specs, numbers and coordinates in corners.
- **Shapes:** Small radii (4–6px), thin glowing borders, bracket corners [ ], terminal windows with three dots.
- **Imagery:** Screenshots, charts, night city and light photos, or no photos with wireframe graphics.
- **Motion:** Text typed letter by letter, a blinking caret, scanlines, stepped reveals.
- **Details:** Command prompts ($ or >), version numbers, an "online" status dot, keyboard hints.
- **Avoid:** Classical serifs, earth tones, soft warm photography.
**This design in particular:** Night navy, electric blue and a data dashboard, a serious money app: two phones, features in a bento grid and a soft glow.

## 5. Page structure
The demo shows a Budget app. Build the sections with these visual treatments, in this order:
1. **Header**: A sticky bar: logo at the start, then the links, and a call-to-action button at the end; it collapses into a menu button on phones.
2. **Hero**: Text on one side; two phone mockups showing the app screen on the other.
3. **Logos**: a row of client or partner names set as wordmarks
4. **Main offering** «Features»: a bento grid: one big tile and smaller tiles of different sizes
5. **Figures**: four very large numbers that count up as they scroll into view
6. **Process** «How it works»: numbered steps in a row with big numbers
7. **Pricing** «Pricing»: pricing cards with the featured option highlighted, a feature list and a button
8. **Testimonials** «Users»: three testimonial cards with initials avatars
9. **FAQ** «Questions»: an accordion of questions with the first one open
10. **Call to action** «Start next month's budget»: a full-width coloured band with a heading, a line of text and a button
11. **Contact** «Contact»: A centred heading and text, a large WhatsApp button, contact details in a row and the hours below.
12. **Footer**: four columns (brand and tagline, page links, contact, social) and a bottom bar
## 6. Motion
Lively: larger 32px reveals, bouncy hovers and gently floating decorations.
**Decorations in this design:**
- a faint measurement grid in the background
- service cards use line icons rather than photos
- neon glow on headings and buttons
## 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.
