Design Principles We Live By:
Clarity over complexity - Our audience is busy entrepreneurs. The banners should communicate instantly what each section is about
Professional but approachable - We're helping people make big financial decisions, so trust is paramount, but we're not stuffy or corporate
Consistent branding - All 4 banners should feel like they're part of the same family while serving different purposes
Mobile-first thinking - Many of our subscribers read on mobile devices, so banners must be legible and impactful on small screens
Strategic hierarchy - The most important information (section title) should be immediately visible
