Mane Financial — Design Proposals

Option A

Midnight Editorial

Charcoal · Amber · Bebas Neue + Libre Baskerville

Bold and unapologetic. Deep charcoal with electric amber accents. Large Bebas Neue display type beside italic Baskerville serif — confident contrast that reads more like a financial magazine than a broker's website. Services as an animated horizontal list. Amber ticker band for movement.

Option B

Soft Prestige

Warm White · Terracotta · DM Serif Display + Epilogue

Refined and approachable. Pure white and warm off-white with a single terracotta accent — no competing colours, no visual noise. DM Serif Display in italic cuts handles all headlines. Service rows animate with a vertical bar. The calculator sits naturally inside the process section.

Option C

Warm Authority

Forest Green · Cream · Copper · Cormorant Garamond

Premium and grounded. Deep forest green contrasts with warm cream. Cormorant Garamond brings an authoritative quality to headlines. Rolling copper marquee strip adds character. Services use a clean two-column grid. Best for clients who want to project experience and trustworthiness above all else.

Option D

Option D — New

Tash Lends Formula

White · Near-black · Libre Baskerville + Nunito Sans

A faithful application of the Tash Lends site structure to Mane Financial. Same page anatomy: dark hero, intro copy, about section with photo, numbered "How it works" steps, calculator links hub, booking form, resources grid, newsletter signup, and a compliant four-column footer with acknowledgement of country. Clean, editorial, education-first.
