October 14, 2026 — Update

  • A cleaner Rosewood: four colour tokens replace the old accent and base scales, and every page is now built from section components.
  • A new navigation with inline links on desktop and a serif fullscreen menu on mobile.
  • The home page gains a process preview, a before and after comparison and the latest posts; the call to action now closes the page.
  • A calmer footer that fills the screen on desktop, with terms and privacy beside the copyright.
  • The services carousel runs on native scroll snapping, without Keen Slider.
  • Lenis smooth scroll, fixed image sizes and fixed dead links across the site.
  • Redesigned system pages (overview, colours, typography, buttons, links), with the overview split into static pages and content collections.
  • Site search, blog tags, the financing page, extra legal pages, the scrollbar plugin and the MDX integration are gone.
  • Placeholder contacts and no external links.
  • Rewritten AGENTS.md and design skill.

September 3, 2026 — Update

  • Expanded the design system skill at .cursor/skills/rosewood-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.

  • Includes buyer docs (STARTING-UP.md, SEO.md, AGENTS.md), Cursor rules, and a local SQLite + npm run setup workflow.
