Kipbrooks — three design directions

Same content in all three: every headline, paragraph, list item, testimonial and form field is the copy from the current site. Only the design changes. Pick a direction and the winner gets built out properly.

A

Editorial Authority

Both offers, one site

The headline is not sitting on a photo. Type carries the hero; photography is small, sharp and captioned like a magazine. Numbered sections, hairline rules, asymmetric label/content columns. Contact fields are underlines, not boxes.

  • Fraunces + Inter
  • Warm off-white #FAF8F5
  • Clay accent #A6432B

The most expensive-looking of the three. Best fit if corporate speaking is the priority and the show is a sideline.

B

Stage Dark

Both offers, one site

Tour-poster energy applied to the corporate side too. Anton display caps at 108–116px, full-bleed photo bands under heavy black grades, coloured spotlight gradients, marquee ticker strips.

  • Anton + Barlow
  • Near-black #0A0A0C
  • Amber #F0A830 / cyan #6EC1E4

One system, two moods — amber leads on Speaking, cyan on the show, each page borrowing the other’s colour for its cross-link. Worth weighing: this is loud. It sells the show brilliantly; whether a corporate L&D buyer reads it as credible is the open question.

C

Split Personality

Two sites, one domain

Two separate sites that only link to each other, with a chooser at the root. Identical skeleton — same 1120px grid, same type ramp, same spacing, same component anatomy. Compare the two site pages section by section and every band lines up.

  • Manrope throughout
  • /speaking/ — white · navy · steel
  • /hypnosis/ — black · magenta

Only the palette block at the top of each file differs. Each header carries a URL chip and a pill in the other site’s colours; the full-width band above each footer is the crossover. Builds as two folders sharing one stylesheet with two palette overrides.

Before you judge these, three things to know:
