Altiatech Design Guard Rails v1

A calmer, clearer design system for enterprise technology pages.

Use this visual guide to keep Altiatech pages consistent across navigation, hero sections, service pages, contact routes, assurance strips and footer components.

Colour system

Core palette

Use dark navy for depth, blue for technology accents, green for live/verified signals, and soft light backgrounds for assurance and proof areas.

Deep Navy #061126 Dark foundations, hero gradients and footer depth.
Primary Navy #071B3A Main brand dark, text on light, card depth.
Accent Blue #2F7CFF Primary action colour, highlights and active states.
Bright Blue #4D8EFF Gradient partner for blue CTAs and highlights.
Soft Blue #9FC6FF Labels, small details and subtle section markers.
Status Green #36F39A Live, verified, assurance and status dots.
Light Assurance #F7FAFF Proof strips and light trust sections.
Soft Panel Light #EEF4FF Subtle light cards, proof bands and soft backgrounds.
Typography

Calmer heading scale

The previous direction became too large and too bold in places. This system keeps headings strong but less shouty.

Hero H1 · clamp(38px, 5vw, 66px) · weight 500-620

Speak to Altiatech about your technology priorities.

Section H2 · clamp(26px, 3vw, 42px) · weight 560-620

Choose the right starting point.

Card H3 · 16-20px · weight 600-700

Managed services review

Body copy · 13.5-18px · line-height 1.5-1.65

Altiatech helps organisations modernise, secure, optimise and run technology with clearer service ownership, stronger governance and better control.

Components

Buttons, cards and badges

Components should feel premium, simple and consistent. Use inherited fonts, measured spacing and subtle borders.

Dark panel

Managed operations, cloud and AI delivery.

Use dark translucent panels for service-led sections, contact hero areas and high-emphasis content.

G-Cloud 14 Aquila-powered
Light assurance panel

Governed delivery and procurement confidence.

Use light panels for assurance, accreditations, framework signals and proof-led content.

Build rules for future sections

Use these rules when refining existing pages or creating new WoCode/Duda sections.

Font Use inherited site font

Buttons, labels, nav items and cards should use font-family: inherit. Do not force Roboto Mono.

Headings Reduce weight before reducing trust

Strong headings are fine, but avoid heavy 800+ weights unless needed for a very small label.

Spacing Keep section rhythm consistent

Most content sections should use clamp(42px, 6vw, 86px). Major panels use 24px to 48px inner padding.

Panels Avoid heavy dark stacking

When a dark footer is present, use a light assurance strip above it to stop the bottom of the page feeling too heavy.

Width Use 1320px max width

Keep section content aligned to the current site container width for consistency across pages.

Code Always provide full widget code

Future code changes should be full copy-and-paste HTML/CSS blocks, not snippets or partial patches.

Page structure

Recommended global page ending

The footer and assurance strip should work together without repeating the same message.

1 Page content

Main sections should carry the service message, outcomes, conversion paths and internal links.

2 Light assurance strip

Use the light trust band for accreditations, procurement routes and proof signals.

3 Compact utility footer

Use the footer for logo, contact details, copyright and navigation only. No large hero-style messaging.
