Dusetra Design Principles & Brand Guidelines

The canonical reference for surfaces, typography, color tokens, anodized package metals, and interaction standards across dusetra.com, the Dusetra Client Portal, and the Dusetra iOS & Android app.

01

Core Design Principles

Every new page, portal screen, or mobile view is evaluated against five non-negotiable standards.

01

Hardware-Grade Clarity

Quiet, high-contrast Apple-grade surfaces with generous breathing room, crisp 1px borders, and zero decorative noise.

Rule: Lead with structured hierarchy and scannable numbers; remove redundant pills, borders, and duplicate buttons.

02

Radical Fee Transparency

Every UAE license, residency visa, authority fee, and Year-2 renewal obligation is published openly in AED.

Rule: Format all currency as whole-integer AED (e.g. AED 11,875) with tabular numerals and explicit annual vs. multi-year labels.

03

Restrained Red, Meaningful Color

Dusetra Red (#ff3533) is our signature signal—never a wallpaper wash.

Rule: Reserve brand red strictly for the Dusetra wordmark, section eyebrow dots, active shortlist states, and high-intent CTAs.

04

True Dual-Appearance Parity

Light Mode (#ffffff / #f5f5f7) and OLED Dark Mode (#000000 / #161618) are first-class citizens across web, portal, and mobile.

Rule: Bind every UI surface and text color to semantic CSS custom properties resolved via light-dark() and <meta name="color-scheme">.

05

Native Platform Ergonomics

Use resilient web and mobile primitives that work effortlessly with touch, keyboard, and assistive technology.

Rule: Use native <dialog> top-layer modals, stretched-button <article> cards, >= 44px coarse touch targets, and >= 1rem iOS form inputs.

03

Dual-Appearance Color Tokens

Click any token or hex value to copy. Never hardcode raw surface or text hexes inside components—always reference semantic CSS variables or @dusetra/core tokens.

Cross-Platform UI & Voice Standards

Shared rules keeping web pages, Newsroom articles, the client portal, and the mobile app cohesive.

Geometry, Cards & Controls

  • Corner Radii: 22px–24px on content cards and dialogs, 16px on search & text inputs, and 9999px capsules on primary CTAs and badges.
  • Whole-Card Clickability: Use semantic <article> cards with a single stretched heading <button> or <a> (::after) while keeping sibling actions elevated above the overlay.
  • Signature AI Search Border: Conic 3-pillar aura (#2bc866, #437ef7, #ff3533) reserved strictly for primary directory and AI search inputs.
  • Accessibility Baseline: Respect prefers-reduced-motion, Windows High Contrast (forced-colors: active), and WCAG AA contrast in both themes.

Editorial & Advisory Voice

  • Direct & Evidence-Led: Write like a senior UAE corporate structuring advisor—concise sentences, verified statutory citations, zero vague sales superlatives.
  • Exact Jurisdiction Naming: Always pair tier names with their authority when quoting fees: Bronze (Sharjah SPC Free Zone), Gold (Dubai IFZA Free Zone), Platinum (Dubai Mainland DET & DMCC).
  • Complete Fee Honesty: State Year-1 upfront totals alongside complete Year-2 renewal schedules (including whether the AED 5,000 professional fee is annual on 1-year plans or once-off across multi-year locks).
  • Consistent Currency & Dates: Write AED 17,900 (space after AED, comma thousands, no .00 decimals) and explicit calendar years.
