Pre-Phase B · audition

Pick a direction. Pick a dashboard.

Six candidates side-by-side — three for the public site (comehomealabama.com), three for the operator dashboard (mandy.intentsolutions.io). The Phase A skeleton is shipped — bento grid, panel inventory, brand-token plumbing, sidecar architecture all hold. This is purely an aesthetic call before the frontend-design skill restyles in place.

Click any card to open the full mock. The other 5 stay in web/design-audition/ as future reference no matter what wins.

Decision criteria

Public site (A · B · C)

  • Does the hero make a $1.5M-buyer feel they're in the right place?
  • Does the typography pair feel like a brand, not a SaaS template?
  • Would Mandy be embarrassed to text the URL? (smoke test)

Dashboard (D · E · F)

  • Can Mandy scan the HOT queue in 2 seconds while on a call?
  • Does it feel like the same brand as the public site?
  • Would she leave it open all day, or close it to escape it?
