Build editorial documentation sites with the Vellum design system. Two theme variants (warm parchment, dark space), OKLCH color science, three-font typographic hierarchy, 35 semantic components. Static HTML with zero build step — deploys to Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, or any static host.

Creative Direction

Two theme variants, each with a distinct character:

Warm (default): "Vellum manuscript" — warm cream backgrounds with a subtle SVG crosshatch texture, deep ink-brown text, copper accents. Authoritative, like a well-made journal.

Dark: "Space archive" — deep blue-black backgrounds with CSS starfield (box-shadow stars + nebula gradients), bright gold copper accents, cool blue-gray text. Atmospheric, like a command center or digital archaeology site.

Both themes share the same typography, component library, and layout system. The palette transformation is purely in :root custom properties — no structural CSS changes needed.

If the minoan-frontend-design skill is available, read it for broader aesthetic principles. Vellum encodes those principles into a concrete design system. Pages built with Vellum should score 16+/20 on /design-audit and 28+/40 on /design-critique.
