# 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:.

## 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.
