## Design rationale

The whole hero is one garden year. A full-bleed photograph sits in a rounded frame with a smoked-glass pill navigation floating over it, and as the visitor scrolls the page pins and the garden moves through spring blossom, a summer border, an autumn hedge walk and a frosted walled garden. A giant italic season word in Noto Serif Display slides up out of its mask at the foot of the frame, and the accent colour of the type shifts with it, from blossom pink to straw, amber and frost blue. A glass card on the right swaps to that season's work in the garden, and a four-step rail shows where you are in the year. After that the page turns editorial: a statement about photographing gardens once they have grown in, with small photo pills set into the sentence, then design-and-build and maintenance as two separate pieces with their own facts. Schibsted Grotesk keeps prices and lists crisp. Limestone, yew green and mist carry the colour; images open out of an inset as they scroll into view.

## Features

- **A pinned hero that scrolls a garden through all four seasons** - It shows what a year of care looks like before any words are read, and it is the moment people remember the site by.
- **A season card listing that quarter's work in the garden** - Maintenance customers are buying a year of visits, so each season's tasks are spelled out.
- **Separate design-and-build and maintenance pieces** - A five-figure build and a £45 visit are different purchases, so each gets its own facts and its own button.
- **Garden gallery showing the build date and the photo date** - Photographing gardens a season or more after handover proves the planting works.
- **Maintenance prices in writing, from £45 a visit** - Published regular prices make the repeat work easy to sign up for.
- **Site visit request with a design or maintenance choice** - Captures a name and postcode in seconds and routes the enquiry to the right team.
