A full write-up of the audit: priority hints, a leaner font strategy, and why we deleted half our hero JavaScript. Numbers and before/after traces inside.

We shipped a variable display face on a recent build and the weight savings surprised us. Curious what everyone else is seeing on real projects.

Client wants "trustworthy but not boring". I have forty candidates and a tightening deadline. How do you pressure-test a name before it goes legal?

Three tiers (primitive, semantic, component) or keep it flat? We keep relitigating this every quarter and I want to settle it for good.

Spent more time on the no-data and error screens than the happy path. Sharing the full set of states because nobody ever shows these.

Three tiers with a toggle and a comparison drawer. A few testers said it felt overwhelming. Brutal honesty very much welcome here.

Dark-first, one accent colour, zero stock photography. Walking through the grid system and the three things I would do differently next time.

Redirect maps, structured data, and the canonical-tag gotcha that cost us a week. Long post but hopefully it saves someone the same pain.

Surfaces, elevation and exactly one accent. How we keep contrast honest across light and dark without maintaining two separate palettes.
