Design study: landing page mockups (pick a direction)

Leggi prima docs/overhaul/design-brief.md, docs/overhaul/colour-scheme.md e docs/overhaul/typography.md, poi controlla deedy-resume-openfont-wjl.cls in laywill/cv per il trattamento del nome nell’hero. Produci 2–3 mockup di landing page genuinamente diversi seguendo il prompt e termina quando William avrà scelto una direzione e le decisioni selezionate saranno state integrate in docs/overhaul/.

Produce 2–3 landing-page mockups for William to choose from. Read design-brief.md, colour-scheme.md, typography.md first. Check the CV name treatment in laywill/cv (deedy-resume-openfont-wjl.cls) and mirror it in the hero.

Ready-to-paste Claude Design prompt:

Design 3 alternative landing-page mockups for williamlay.co.uk, the personal site of William Lay — software engineer / DevOps / agile coach / engineering leader. Audience: recruiters clicking through from LinkedIn or a CV, deciding in seconds whether he's interesting. Primary CTA above the fold: "Connect on LinkedIn"; secondary: "Download CV".

Theme: Developer Dark Mode built strictly from the VS Code Dark+ palette — background #1E1E1E, panels #252526, text #D4D4D4, accents used semantically: keyword blue #569CD6, variable #9CDCFE, type teal #4EC9B0, function yellow #DCDCAA, string orange #CE9178, comment green #6A9955, status-bar blue #007ACC. Typography: Raleway for the name/display, Lato body, JetBrains Mono for code/IDE elements.

IDE motifs to explore (sparingly, semantically): a VS Code-style status bar as the footer, editor-tab or breadcrumb navigation, syntax-coloured skill tags, terminal prompt touches, Obsidian-style callout blocks. Layouts must be diagram-led and visually structured (Gestalt): icon grids for the toolbox/skills, a timeline for career, strong groupings over labelled sections.

Hard exclusions: no oatmeal/beige/cream backgrounds, no uppercase eyebrow labels above headings, no Inter/Roboto, no purple/violet gradients or glow effects, no symmetrical centered card grids with drop shadows. Make the three mockups genuinely different in layout strategy, not palette swaps.

Acceptance criteria

• 2–3 mockups produced and linked here
• William picks a direction (comment on this issue)
• Chosen direction's decisions folded back into docs/overhaul/
