ONE image, surgically placed.
'digital-03-notification-smile.jpg' — young man at a London bus
stop smiling at his phone. The moment a WhatsApp reminder lands
and he thinks 'oh right, I need to do that.'
This IS the product working. Not decoration — context.
Uses the same image-panel + dark-panel split from the landing page:
┌──────────────┬──────────────────────────────┐
│ [photo] │ ✨ AI optimisation │
│ Man smiling │ Let AI improve your messages │
│ at phone │ [Start optimising] │
└──────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘
The image only appears in the onboarding state (never optimised).
Once AI is running, the hero compacts to a single dark bar.
The image served its purpose — motivation to start.
Brand alignment:
- Left-border accent (generosity-gold) on header
- 11px uppercase tracking-[0.15em] labels
- gap-px grid for timing controls
- Sharp edges everywhere (phone mockup is the only exception)
- 60-30-10 color rule maintained
- Dark inversion for AI hero sections
- Typography-driven hierarchy
No new images generated. Used existing brand photography.
