Design Philosophy
This landing page intentionally avoids the generic "SaaS template" aesthetic (no floating 3D objects, heavy gradients, or glassmorphism everywhere). Instead, it leans into a digital studio / editorial feel with large, confident typography, solid structural lines, and realistic visual proof of the websites Sitefolk builds.
