# Popular Web Designs

54 real-world design systems ready for use when generating HTML/CSS. Each template captures a
site's complete visual language: color palette, typography hierarchy, component styles, spacing
system, shadows, responsive behavior, and practical agent prompts with exact CSS values.

## Related design skills

- **`claude-design`** — use for the design *process and taste* (scoping a brief,
  producing variants, verifying a local HTML artifact, avoiding AI-design slop).
  Pair it with this skill when the user wants a thoughtfully-designed page styled
  after a known brand: `claude-design` drives the workflow, this skill supplies
  the visual vocabulary.
- **`design-md`** — use when the deliverable is a formal DESIGN.md token spec
  file, not a rendered artifact.

## How to Use

1. Pick a design from the catalog below
2. Load it: `skill_view(name="popular-web-designs", file_path="templates/<site>.md")`
3. Use the design tokens and component specs when generating HTML
4. Pair with the `generative-widgets` skill to serve the result via cloudflared tunnel

Each template includes a **Hermes Implementation Notes** block at the top with:
- CDN font substitute and Google Fonts `<link>` tag (ready to paste)
- CSS font-family stacks for primary and monospace
- Reminders to use `write_file` for HTML creation and `browser_vision` for verification

## HTML Generation Pattern

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Page Title</title>
  <!-- Paste the Google Fonts <link> from the template's Hermes notes -->
  <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=..." rel="stylesheet">
  <style>
    /* Apply the template's color palette as CSS custom properties */
    :root {
      --color-bg: #ffffff;
      --color-text: #171717;
      --color-accent: #533afd;
      /* ... more from template Section 2 */
    }
    /* Apply typography from template Section 3 */
    body {
      font-family: 'Inter', system-ui, sans-serif;
      color: var(--color-text);
      background: var(--color-bg);
    }
    /* Apply component styles from template Section 4 */
    /* Apply layout from template Section 5 */
    /* Apply shadows from template Section 6 */
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <!-- Build using component specs from the template -->
</body>
</html>
```

Write the file with `write_file`, serve with the `generative-widgets` workflow (cloudflared tunnel),
and verify the result with `browser_vision` to confirm visual accuracy.

## Font Substitution Reference

Most sites use proprietary fonts unavailable via CDN. Each template maps to a Google Fonts
substitute that preserves the design's character. Common mappings:

| Proprietary Font | CDN Substitute | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Geist / Geist Sans | Geist (on Google Fonts) | Geometric, compressed tracking |
| Geist Mono | Geist Mono (on Google Fonts) | Clean monospace, ligatures |
| sohne-var (Stripe) | Source Sans 3 | Light weight elegance |
| Berkeley Mono | JetBrains Mono | Technical monospace |
| Airbnb Cereal VF | DM Sans | Rounded, friendly geometric |
| Circular (Spotify) | DM Sans | Geometric, warm |
| figmaSans | Inter | Clean humanist |
| Pin Sans (Pinterest) | DM Sans | Friendly, rounded |
| NVIDIA-EMEA | Inter (or Arial system) | Industrial, clean |
| CoinbaseDisplay/Sans | DM Sans | Geometric, trustworthy |
| UberMove | DM Sans | Bold, tight |
| HashiCorp Sans | Inter | Enterprise, neutral |
| waldenburgNormal (Sanity) | Space Grotesk | Geometric, slightly condensed |
| IBM Plex Sans/Mono | IBM Plex Sans/Mono | Available on Google Fonts |
| Rubik (Sentry) | Rubik | Available on Google Fonts |

When a template's CDN font matches the original (Inter, IBM Plex, Rubik, Geist), no
substitution loss occurs. When a substitute is used (DM Sans for Circular, Source Sans 3
for sohne-var), follow the template's weight, size, and letter-spacing values closely —
those carry more visual identity than the specific font face.
