What fiasco.design does well

A confident, saturated palette that makes the brand instantly recognizable.
Personality in the details — micro-copy, hover states and illustrations that smile.
Custom illustration creates a visual language no competitor can copy.

Apply it to your own project

Pick 1–2 signature hues and repeat them everywhere; rainbow dilutes.
Add personality in low-risk places first: 404s, empty states, button micro-copy.
A consistent illustration style across the site beats better-but-mixed artwork.

The vibe-coding prompt

Norrly generates a complete founding prompt from the measured values above — theme, exact hex colors, type scale, button geometry, section structure, motion rules and hard constraints. Paste it into Lovable, Cursor, v0 or Bolt to start from fiasco.design's design language instead of AI defaults. A preview:

You are a world-class web designer + frontend engineer.
