Design style: gradient
Gradient websites, and why frascati uses one clear accent
Gradient backgrounds and gradient text are common on AI-made sites. frascati leaves them out and gives each business one paper colour and one accent colour.
What defines it
- Backgrounds that blend two or more colours
- Headlines filled with a gradient instead of a solid colour
- Mesh and aurora backgrounds with soft, flowing colour
- Buttons and borders with gradient fills
Where it fits
- Brands whose logo or identity is built on a gradient
- Music, festival and event posters
- Short campaign pages with little text

Questions
- Does frascati build gradient websites?
- No. frascati leaves out decorative gradients, gradient text, mesh and aurora backgrounds by design.
- Why does frascati avoid gradients?
- Purple to blue gradients and gradient text are so common on AI-made sites that they make a business look like many others. Gradient text is also harder to read, because its contrast changes along the line.
- What does frascati do instead?
- It picks one paper colour and one accent colour that suit your business. The accent marks links and small highlights, so colour points to what matters, and large real photos bring the rest.
- Can I use my brand colours?
- Yes. Tell frascati your colours or upload your logo, and it builds the site around them.
