Side Brokerage
www.side.com/a real estate brokerage platform that reads like a confident B2B SaaS site: Poppins throughout, a plum-grey ink (#373342) with a plum-pink primary (#CE87C1) and a rust-red highlight, documentary agent photography and big "Own Your Future" display type.

Do / Don't
Reference it for
- Warm, human B2B SaaS styling: Poppins, real documentary photography, soft plum accents instead of cold corporate blue.
- Using a single sharp highlight colour (rust-red) to underline and emphasise key phrases in long-form copy.
- A long-form, story-driven marketing page (personas, proof, pillars) that stays clean and scannable.
- Pill buttons (50px) on a 5px-radius base, a tidy two-tier radius system.
Do not copy
- The plum-pink + plum-grey palette and the Side wordmark are brand identity; borrow the soft-accent-plus-one-highlight structure, choose the client's own hues.
- It is a WordPress/Bootstrap stack with heavy third-party scripts (HubSpot, Vidyard, ad pixels); rebuild lean on Astro rather than porting the plugin weight.
- "Own Your Future" and the agent-ownership framing are Side's positioning; reuse the warm B2B approach, not the messaging.
