grn.dk — design directions

Every page is a full front page built from the site's real content (today's article, the published cases, the price list, the review). Open any of them and use the switcher bottom-right to flip between all eight. Desktop and mobile both work.

This is the live site now. Design 6 “Personal” shipped as grn.dk’s theme in September 2026 — see it live.

Round 2 — after the feedback (10 Sep)

What the first round of feedback said: they look like AI templates; Personal is almost right but the photo in the hero spoils it; Showcase is nice but the headline font is wrong; Sister has nothing wrong with it but is a bit dull; Studio reads like a blog; Terminal is too dark. Three revisions answer that:
6 · recommended

Personal, no portrait

Design 5 with the photo out of the hero

Fonts: Plus Jakarta Sans + Lora

Palette: cream and sand, deep teal, coral accent

What changed: The portrait leaves the hero; this morning's hand-drawn article takes its place, with the review beside it. The icon-card rows (trust, services, prices) become plain lists so the page reads less like a template.

The warm consultant page, carried by the daily illustrated article instead of a face.

7

Showcase, new headline

Design 4 with another headline font — pick it live

Fonts: Archivo (default) · Inter Tight · Bricolage Grotesque · Syne · Anton · Instrument Serif, + Inter

Palette: black / white, signal orange

What changed: Space Grotesk is gone. A picker bottom-left switches the headline font and upper/lower case on the page, and the URL records the choice so you can send back the exact combination.

Same bold portfolio; you choose the voice of the headline.

8

Sister, with edge

Design 2, less even, more picture

Fonts: Inter

Palette: white, emerald, one deep-green band

What changed: The hero gets today's illustrated article as a live panel; cases run as one large plus four small instead of six equal cards; services become a numbered index, prices a dark band. No stat row, no eyebrow pill.

Still the nowa.dk family and still an Olivero sub-theme, but with a front page that has a focal point.

Design 7 with each of the six headline fonts

Design 7, the same hero with each of the six headline fonts. Open 7 and pick one live; the picker also switches upper/lower case.

Round 1 — the original five (9 Sep)

Kept for reference; the switcher still reaches them.

Current site (for reference)

Stock Drupal Olivero with an emerald brand layer (August 2026): long single column, right rail of article teasers, page title bar, header block.

1

Studio

Editorial paper — the daily article is the front page

Fonts: Fraunces + Source Sans 3

Palette: warm paper, near-black ink, muted emerald accent

Leans into the site's real strength: a new illustrated article every day. Reads like a journal, not a CMS.

2

Sister

The nowa.dk system, in emerald

Fonts: Inter

Palette: white / light-grey bands, emerald primary

Same structure and rhythm as nowa.dk so the two sites read as one family; the safest, fastest to build.

3

Terminal

Dark engineering shell

Fonts: JetBrains Mono + Manrope

Palette: charcoal, mint accent, hairline panels

Says 'serious engineering shop' at a glance; cases as systems in production. Article pages stay light for reading.

4

Showcase

Bold agency portfolio, one signal colour

Fonts: Space Grotesk + Inter

Palette: black / white, signal orange (deliberately not green)

Biggest departure: oversized type, full-bleed case imagery, numbered work. Tests whether green should stay at all.

5

Personal

Warm consultant, photo first

Fonts: Plus Jakarta Sans + Lora

Palette: cream and sand, deep teal, coral accent

You are the product: face, review and recommendations up top, rounded and friendly. Built for 'hire me'.

What is a preview and what is not. These are static HTML pages, not the Drupal theme — fonts load from Google Fonts here (self-hosted in the real build), images are hot-linked from grn.dk, and only the front page is drawn. Whichever direction you pick becomes a new Olivero sub-theme (or a fresh base theme for 3, 4 and 7) with the same copy the site has today.
