October 1, 2026 — Redesign

  • Aubergine is rebuilt from scratch. A landscaping theme for garden design, building and garden care companies, with a new look, new code and new copy.
  • New pages: home with a photo slideshow hero, garden care by season, process, about, areas served, reviews, free quote, contact, careers and FAQ.
  • New collections: services, projects with before and after photos, reviews, team, journal and FAQs, plus legal pages.
  • Switzer on white with olive ink and deep moss bands, a navigation of three large words, and Lenis smooth scroll.
  • New README.md, AGENTS.md, Cursor rules and design skill (.cursor/skills/aubergine-design/).
  • The agency pages (work, sign in, sign up) and the search are gone.

September 3, 2026 — Update

  • Expanded the design system skill at .cursor/skills/aubergine-design/SKILL.md: typography, color usage, spacing rhythm, component conventions, and do/don’t rules extracted from the theme’s own code, so AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) build UI that matches the theme.
  • AGENTS.md links the design rules in every variant.
