Read the `README.md` file within this skill, and explore the other available files (`colors_and_type.css`, `assets/`, `fonts/`, `preview/`, `ui_kits/website/`).

If creating visual artifacts (slides, mocks, throwaway prototypes, social graphics, one-pagers), copy assets out and create static HTML files for the user to view. If working on production code (the live WordPress site), you can copy assets and read the rules here to become an expert in designing with this brand.

If the user invokes this skill without any other guidance, ask them what they want to build or design (a new practice-area landing page? a print-ready one-pager? a deck for an internal meeting? a social-media graphic?), ask a few clarifying questions about audience and tone, then act as an expert designer who outputs HTML artifacts _or_ production code, depending on the need.

Key rules to internalize before producing anything:

- **Three brand colors only at saturation** — `#0054A0` blue, `#BC6D0A` orange, near-black. Tonal extensions exist for UI but never compete with the primaries.
- **Two fonts** — Poppins for everything readable; Bebas Neue ONLY for the tagline, hero banner all-caps, and award headlines. Bebas is a megaphone — use it sparingly.
- **No emoji. No gradients. No hand-drawn SVG. No black-and-white photography.**
- **"We're in your corner"** is the tagline — orange, all-caps, Bebas Neue, ends with the small `SM` service-mark superscript.
- **Voice is warm-professional second-person.** "We" / "our team" → "you". Acknowledge stakes, name the action, invite the next step.
- **Always include real assets** — pull logos from `assets/logos/`, awards from `assets/awards/`, affiliations from `assets/affiliations/`. Never reconstruct the brand marks from SVG primitives.
