    Answer a short interview and get a one-page guide: colors, type, logo use, and voice.

  2. Step 2: Pick a brand color that works in light and dark mode

    Pick the accent shade that stays readable in both light and dark mode.

  3. Step 3: Use your brand colors in CSS, Tailwind, and Figma

    Turn the guide into CSS variables, a Tailwind theme, and Figma tokens.

    Passes on: Brand tokens in your code

  4. Step 4: Branded social images and link preview cards

    Make a link preview image, a square post, and a story in your brand.

    Passes on: Share images for your site and posts

  5. Step 5: Check if your work is on brand

    Check a page, email, or post against the guide before it ships.
