# Build a website in the "Pavilion" 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. 173).
## 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/pavilion/ar.html
- Live demo (English): https://qalib.omardeek.tech/demos/pavilion/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:** Cream, black and gold with decorative capitals, like a perfume bottle from 1920s Paris.

## 5. Page structure
The demo shows a Perfumery. 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** «The house»: A large centred quote with a signature, then the heading and paragraphs in two columns, then a strip of two photos.
4. **Main offering** «The collection»: a grid of cards (photo or icon, title, short text, price or note)
5. **Figures**: a row of four numbers with labels
6. **Process** «Bespoke»: numbered steps in a row with big numbers
7. **Gallery** «The atelier»: a photo grid with one large tile and captions on the photos
8. **Testimonials** «They said»: one large centred testimonial at a time, rotating every few seconds, with dots
9. **Call to action** «A gift they won't forget»: a full-width coloured band with a heading, a line of text and a button
10. **Contact** «Visit us»: A large card on a tinted background: contact details on one side, the hours and button on the other.
11. **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:**
- an Art Deco sunburst of thin gold rays behind the hero
- small ornamental dividers between sections: an Art Deco diamond with parallel lines
## 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:.
