How it works

1. Add the stylesheet

Include a single CSS file in your page — no package manager or build step needed. Works with static HTML and Drupal.

2. Copy the HTML

Each component page has a live preview and copy-ready HTML. Paste it directly into your templates and CMS layouts.

3. Customize for your agency

Override CSS custom properties (design tokens) to apply your agency's colors, typography, and brand — no changes to the base stylesheet required.

What's included
