Hero gradient text (background-clip:text)+6
whyHero H1 with `background-clip: text` + linear gradient (usually purple→pink) is the most-copied 'make the headline pop' trick in AI templates. It signals 'I asked Cursor to make my hero look cool' more than any other single decision.fixReplace the gradient with a single solid color. If you need emphasis, use one of: (a) italicize one word in a serif accent, (b) change one word to your brand color, (c) use weight contrast (300 + 700 in the same line), (d) add a small mark/underline behind one phrase.ruleNo `background-clip: text` on H1. The headline either earns attention through copy or it doesn't.
Perma dark mode + medium-grey body text+4
whyDark background + mid-grey body text (#a0a0a0 region, HSL saturation <15%, L 0.35–0.75) is the AI default for 'premium' feel. The mid-grey body text fails WCAG AA and signals 'I let v0 pick the colors'.fixEither: (a) go full light mode with crisp dark text on cream/white, OR (b) keep dark but increase body text contrast to at least #d4d4d8 (L 0.85+). Better: ship both themes and respect `prefers-color-scheme`.ruleBody text on dark backgrounds must have L ≥ 0.85. No defaulting to dark — the user's system preference is the default.
