Brand guidelines

Everything you need to build like JetAds.

Two fields, one gradient CTA per field, one plane. Every hex, font and rule below is the whole system — nothing else is on brand.

02 · Colour

Two fields. The CTA colour follows the field.

Every section is a rounded panel sitting on the page with breathing room around it. Each panel takes one of two field themes — mist or ink — and the CTA colour is decided by the field, not by the page. Gradients are used deliberately: the two field gradients and the button gradients. No glows, no washes behind text, no drop shadows except on the sticky header and on white cards lifting off the mist field.

Mist

Flat grey gradient #FBFBFB to #F4F4F5, pure white cards, #E3E3E6 hairlines.

CTA: Jet Blue gradient with a white label.

Used for: Hero, what actually works, proof, team, FAQ — the calm reading sections.

Ink

Blue-black gradient #0C2247 to #071630 at 42% to #030711, translucent white cards, white headlines, #9AA5B4 body. No border, no glow — identical on every dark panel including the footer.

CTA: Spectrum gradient (blue to purple to pink) with a white label.

Used for: The hero, the problem section, how it works, how we use AI, the client quotes and the footer block.

Core

Two fields carry the whole site: neutral light grey for reading, and the blue-black ink gradient for the hero, the heavier sections and the footer. Nothing else is a field.

Action

The CTA is a gradient and its colour is decided by the field it sits on. One button style, two field variants: Jet Blue on mist, spectrum purple-pink on ink.

Surfaces

Every section is a rounded panel. Cards inside stay pure white on light fields, translucent white on dark ones.

Data and measurement

Numbers and proof. None of these is ever a button.

Accents

Used inside diagrams and stamps, never as a field and never as a button.

Text

Three weights per field. Muted never goes below 13px.

The Lift gradient

The signature field gradient: blue-black at the top, fading to near black at the bottom, running straight down. Every dark panel and the footer use exactly this — no lighter variant, no glow wash, no border. Use it full-panel only: never on a button, never on a card, never on a light field.

03 · Typography

Cabinet Grotesk sets the headline. Mono sets every number.

  • Headlines and button labels are sentence case. Proper nouns keep their capitals: JetAds, Meta, Google, AI.
  • Type scale: hero H1 68px desktop / 34px mobile, section H2 38/26, card titles 18, body 16, small labels 13. Nothing sits between 20 and 38.
  • Tight leading on headlines: 1.02–1.1. Letter-spacing -0.025em.
  • Emphasis colour follows the field: Jet Blue on mist, spectrum purple-pink on ink.
  • Every number is set in mono, tabular, and carries its unit.

04 · Buttons & UI

Orange means click. Nothing else does.

Hover shifts the fill — lighter on light surfaces, deeper on ink — and lifts the button 2px. There is never a shadow.

Specs

  • Primary on mist: Jet Blue gradient (#1076EA to #2F9DFF), white sentence-case label, 999px radius.
  • Primary on ink: Spectrum gradient (#4F7CF7 to #8B5CF6 to #EC4899), white label, 999px radius.
  • Outline: 1px field hairline, current text colour, transparent fill. The secondary action only.
  • Compact: 10px radius, 11px mono label, used inside cards and tables.
  • Hover: The gradient reverses direction and the button lifts 2px. Never change hue on hover.
  • Rule: Section links are real buttons, not underlined text. One primary button per panel.
  • Labels: The header CTA reads "Book a call" with a right arrow. Every in-page primary CTA reads "Book a discovery call". Never "Get started".

Radius scale

  • 999px — Pill CTAs and badges.
  • 10px — Compact buttons and inputs.
  • 20px — Cards, tables, framed screenshots.
  • 32px — Section panels on mobile, and the footer block.
  • 40px — Section panels from 768px up.

End frame — ink

Closes every ad.

The one ink moment: guarantee line plus one orange pill.

  • Hook text is always Plus Jakarta Sans 800, sentence case, maximum 2 lines.
  • Never set hook text over a busy area of the image. Move it or add a flat ink panel behind it.
  • The logo sits bottom-left at 6% of frame width with 4% clearspace, placed from the file.
  • Proof screenshots are framed on a bone card with a 1px --v2-rule border. Never drop a raw screenshot onto the creative.
  • The end frame is always the ink field with the guarantee line and one spectrum CTA pill.
  • Panels and framed proof use 20px radius inside creative, matching the site cards.

07 · Voice

Lead with the number, not the adjective.

  • Plain, blunt, specific. Short sentences. Lead with the number, not the adjective.
  • Sentence case headlines, ending in a full stop. Never Title Case.
  • Canadian English: -ize endings (optimize, not optimise). -our endings (behaviour, colour).
  • Every number is set in mono and always carries its unit.
  • Say what we don't do. The anti-agency honesty is the voice.
  • Never promise a ROAS figure or a specific multiple. We promise improvement on a recorded baseline, which is the only claim we can stand behind.
