Nimbus Grid — Secure cloud storage marketing site

Produce a single-page marketing site for Nimbus Grid, a fictional secure cloud-storage capacity platform, with a dark warm-gold aesthetic. A complete, rendered reference implementation ships beside this skill at example.html — start from it. Copy example.html, then adjust copy and data only; do not rewrite the CSS or invent a new visual language. The seed already encodes every token, section layout, scroll behavior, and animation described below.

This is the authoritative build brief. The named colors, fonts, shader URL, section structure, and JS-driven animations are locked.

Stack

• Default output: a single self-contained HTML file (the example.html seed). It already includes everything inline — no images, no frameworks; every visual is CSS / SVG / text.
• If the user explicitly asks for the Vite multi-file project from the original prompt, split into index.html, styles.css, script.js, package.json (vite ^5.4.2, type:module, scripts dev/build/preview), vite.config.js (default). Port the seed faithfully — same tokens, same markup, same JS. Build with npm run build. Do not change the design while porting.

Fonts

Load from Google Fonts with preconnect to both fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com:

• IBM Plex Mono weights 400, 500 — labels, code, nav, eyebrows, CTAs.

Body: background radial-gradient(circle at top left, rgba(255,216,121,0.18), transparent 28rem) + var(--bg), ink #fff4d5, IBM Plex Sans, font-size:1rem, line-height:1.375, letter-spacing:0.0175rem, antialiased. <meta name="theme-color" content="#17130d">. html { scroll-behavior: smooth }. Universal box-sizing:border-box. Anchors inherit color, no underline.

Section 1 — Hero (.hero, min-height:100svh)

• Animated shader: <iframe class="shader-bg" src="https://fragcoord.xyz/embed/c6zisyc6?viewport=1422x800" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">, absolutely centered with transform: translate(-50%,-50%) scale(var(--shader-scale,5)), z-index:-3, pointer-events:none. Keep this exact shader URL.
• .shader-fallback behind it (z-index:-4): radial + linear warm-gold gradient #846f43 → #f0d27c → #fff2be so the page still reads if the shader fails.
• JS: on load + debounced resize (180ms), recompute viewport so the iframe matches window aspect, capped at 1422×800; scale = max(innerWidth/w, (innerHeight+110)/h).
• .site-header (flex row, min-height:42px): brand NIMBUS GRID in a glass pill (padding:9px 12px, 1px ink-translucent border, backdrop-filter: blur(18px) saturate(1.35), Plex Mono 12px uppercase, inset highlight + soft shadow); right nav Technology / Security / Capacity / Operations (Plex Mono 12px uppercase, 0.04rem ls, ink-translucent, hover brightens); .header-cta "Get Started" same glass pill, hover lifts 1px + brightens.
• .console-card (top-left, width:min(396px,42vw), rgba(13,16,19,0.88), 5px radius, blurred backdrop):
  • Tabs row grid-template-columns: repeat(3,minmax(0,77px)) 1fr auto: CLI, API, Console, then window controls (small square + wide bar). Active tab = accent color + 2px accent underline.
  • Three panes, only the active shown, min-height:153px, Plex Mono 11px:
    • CLI: <pre> $ nimbus storage create \ --workspace prod-web \ --tier encrypted-fast \ --region eu-central ($ accent), then typed output line storage pool web-db-test queued (accent).
    • API: POST /v1/storage/pools JSON {name:"web-db-test", tier:"encrypted-fast", quota:"8 TiB"}, typed output 202 accepted: provisioning policy attached.
    • Console: form slots — Instance name = web-db-test (typed), Image = ubuntu-24.04-noble, two-column / . Each is a 33px outlined dark slot; select-style ones append a .

Section 2 — Platform accordion (#platform, scroll-driven)

min-height:420svh, near-black #050604 with subtle gold radial top-right.

• .accordion-inner position:sticky; top:0, full-viewport height, grid 0.22fr | 0.78fr.
• .accordion-nav: four Plex Mono 11px uppercase pill labels each prefixed by a 7px square dot: Programmable infra, Data residency, Elastic scaling, Unified visibility. Active = accent color, shifts right 2px.
• .accordion-stack (height min(80svh,820px)): four .accordion-card panels position:absolute; inset:0, each a two-column grid (copy + visual) on black with a 1px ink top border.
  • Card 1 — Programmable infra: code window 01 storage_pool = { 02 name = "client-vault" 03 region = "eu-central" 04 quota = "24 TiB" 05 policy = encrypted_fast 06 }.
  • Card 2 — Data residency: Region policy / EU Central locked / US East allowed / AP Southeast review / Retention 7 years.
  • Card 3 — Elastic scaling: Capacity forecast / Used 18.4 TiB / Reserved 24 TiB / Burst ready / Next tier approved.
  • Card 4 — Unified visibility: Operations view / Sync health stable / Cold data 14% / Policy drift 0 / Audit export live.
  • Each visual: warm gold gradient backdrop linear-gradient(135deg, rgba(234,208,154,0.92), rgba(106,91,52,0.68)) + radial highlight, centered dark code window with 3 dot-spans, 8px radius, deep shadow.
• Scroll JS: track getBoundingClientRect() → progress 0..1 over (height − viewport); active card index = round(progress·(n−1)). Card N translateY animates from off-bottom (stackHeight + collapsedHeight) up to index * collapsedHeight (collapsed = 84px desktop / 96px mobile), clamped per segment, written to --card-y (transform) and --card-clip-bottom (clip-path inset) so the active card reveals while previous cards stay as header strips. Clicking a tab smooth-scrolls to that card's segment.

Section 3 — Pricing (#pricing)

Dark olive #11120f with light top wash + soft cyan radial blur rgba(151,211,235,0.14) from top-left.

• Top grid (max-width 1320px, 0.38 | 0.62): left eyebrow Pricing (accent, Plex Mono 16px uppercase) + H2 "Only pay for cloud storage your teams actually use." (clamp(34px,4vw,68px), line-height 1) + paragraph "Scale capacity up for active projects and cool it down when workspaces go quiet. Nimbus Grid keeps storage, transfer, and policy costs visible before they become invoices."
• Right .pricing-table: header "Storage costs" + billing toggle pill (Per month muted, Per GiB active = accent pill with #241d0f text). Five 1px-separated rows (1fr | auto), right values in Plex Mono:
  • Encrypted active storage — $0.021 / GiB / month
  • Warm collaboration tier — $0.012 / GiB / month
  • Cold retained archive — $0.004 / GiB / month
  • Regional accelerated transfer — $0.018 / GiB moved
  • Customer-managed key vault — included
• Pricing bars — full-bleed (width:100vw; margin-left:calc(50% - 50vw)), 12-column grid, height:480px, bars bottom-aligned. Each bar height: var(--bar-height) + var(--bar-morph,0px), min-height:120px, gold gradient (alternating muted variant). Base heights 66/58/50/62/45/54/48/64/72/70/78/82%. Top edge fades into the section via a gradient overlay.
• JS: progress = (viewport − rect.top) / (viewport + rect.height); per-bar morph = sin(progress*2π + i*0.72)*34 + cos(progress*π + i*0.34)*14 px → --bar-morph; transition: height 80ms linear.
• Plan row — 3 cards (max 300px each): Starter "For small teams consolidating shared project files." CTA Start small; Team "For departments scaling collaboration and regional transfer." CTA Build team plan; Enterprise "For organizations prioritizing governance, residency, and support." CTA Talk to sales. CTAs: 42px pill, Plex Mono 12px uppercase, 1px ink border, glass bg, hover brightens.

• Three cards (repeat(3,1fr), gap clamp(16px,2vw,22px), min-height:464px, square corners, 1px ink border, #0f0c08 + subtle top wash):
  • API — "Full policy control" + copy. Black .api-window (bottom-left ~58%, 184px) with three dots and -> nimbus auth login / Enter code / VAULT-9AMP / -> policy attach / workspace/client-vault; overlapping .api-spec (top-right, rgba(64,52,30,0.86), accent border) showing openapi: 3.0.0 / info: title: Nimbus API / paths: /storage/pools: /keys: /regions: /retention:.
  • Compliance — "Full compliance" + copy. Three rows, each a 24px circular accent badge with a CSS checkmark (::before, rotated bottom+left borders) + label + accent-strong sub; rows rgba(48,39,23,0.84) with accent-translucent borders: SOC 2 — Type II controls; ISO 27001 — Security management; GDPR — Regional data policy.
  • Economics — "Ownership and predictable economics" + copy. <pre class="binary-map"> of 1s/0s (10 rows × 28 cols carving a small lock/icon shape). Below, 3-row asset table: Reserved tier | 24 TiB, Transfer lane | EU Central, Revision | Q603 (Mono 11px uppercase keys, mixed-case values).

Section 5 — Console showcase (#plans)

Dark teal-leaning #070a0b with cyan radial accent + a faint repeating-stripe decoration (::after, top-right).

• Heading row: H2 "The biggest forward leap in business cloud storage operations." (clamp(25px,4vw,52px), color #dff5ff) + right paragraph "A single control plane for provisioning storage pools, reviewing policy, watching growth, and shipping audit-ready reports without asking teams to change how they work."
• Figure label pill (Plex Mono): Fig. 2 Nimbus Grid web console.
• .dashboard-shell: full-width, 8px radius, cyan-translucent border, rgba(5,8,10,0.9) bg, deep shadow, perspective transform. Topbar = 3 dots + placeholder title bar. Body grid 240px | 1fr:
  • Sidebar "Client Vault" + nav: Workspaces, Storage Pools (active, cyan tint), Retention, Access, Transfers, Reports.
  • Main: title "Storage Pools" (cyan #97d3eb) + New pool cyan-outlined button; 5-column table (headers Plex Mono uppercase, States cyan Plex Mono uppercase): finance-vault / EU Central / 18.4 TiB / 7 years / Healthy; design-assets / US East / 9.8 TiB / Versioned / Syncing; legal-archive / EU Central / 42.1 TiB / Immutable / Healthy; migration-lane / AP South / 6.2 TiB / Temporary / Queued.
  • Toast bottom-right: "Pool created / finance-vault ready" (cyan on dark).
• Hover: shell tilts rotateX(1deg) rotateY(-1.2deg) translateY(-8px), border brightens, sheen pseudo-element sweeps left→right (translateX(-34%) → 34%, opacity 0→1), 220ms ease / 520ms sheen.

Section 6 — Operations cube (#operations)

#0c0d0a with cyan + gold radials + a left-to-right dark gradient overlay so copy reads cleanly.

• Two columns 0.44 | 0.56. Left: eyebrow Operations, H2 "A control layer for every storage move your business makes." (clamp(34px,4.4vw,72px), line-height 0.98), paragraph "Route migrations, active workspaces, archives, and compliance exports through one operational grid. Nimbus Grid keeps capacity, policy, and transfer status visible before teams hit a limit." CTA Plan operations — solid accent gold pill, #1b160d text, hover swaps to --accent-2 + lifts 2px.
• Right: 3D cube with explode-on-click.
  • .modal-cube-shell button, perspective:1000px, transform-style:preserve-3d.
  • .operations-core-cube size clamp(142px,18vw,250px) with 6 .cube-face (front/back/right/left/top/bottom), 18px radius, gold-blue radial+linear gradient, inset highlights + shadows.
  • Idle: core-cube-float 6s ease-in-out infinite (small Y bob + rotation drift).
  • On click (toggle is-exploded): core scales to 0.72; ~14 .cube-particle shards (10 fragments + 4 small .dot spheres) translate to randomized --tx/--ty/--tz with --s, --r, staggered --d. Particles cubic-bezier(0.17,0.78,0.18,1) 760ms transform + 420ms opacity, start blurred + dim → end sharp. Keep the 14 particle definitions (tx −330..330, ty −250..225, tz 30..210, s 0.09..0.58). A --spread multiplier scales the explosion per breakpoint.
  • JS: click (also Enter/Space when focused) toggles is-exploded. Focus outline 1px ink-translucent, offset 10px.

Color rules — hard

Palette is warm gold/cream on near-black, with cyan accents reserved for the console showcase (#97d3eb, #dff5ff) and an orange/red highlight reserved for radial washes. Accent gold --accent: #ead09a / --accent-2: #ffd879 is locked — do not substitute purple, teal, or green for the gold. No images: every visual is CSS, SVG, or text.
