# 55 Casebook Authority

**Philosophy and fit.** Let organised evidence establish professional trust. Built for accountant, law firm, consultancy, b2b services. The visitor’s next step is to request a consultation.

**Visual grammar.** Use a document-like navy and parchment casebook with numbered margin notes. Preserve the hierarchy of qualifications, practice areas, case summaries, consultation intake; these patterns solve this business’s actual decision, rather than supplying interchangeable decoration.

**Sample and interaction.** BELL & ROWE / Accountants is a fictional demonstration. The entry page establishes a complete visual direction, with consultation intake and client case summary as supporting states. Inputs use local deterministic fixtures; no request, order, application or payment is sent.

**Responsive behaviour.** On a phone, keep the primary decision first, stack facts with explicit labels, preserve the order of the workflow, and provide comfortably sized controls. Wide diagrams scale; tabular facts retain their labels.

**Adaptation.** Replace the fictional brand, prices, availability, qualifications and claims with verified client information. Preserve qualifications, practice areas, case summaries. Use imagery to explain the place, people, work or product, with deliberate crops and honest captions. Do not turn this into a generic hero-and-card layout.

## Reference and adaptation

- Page scope: Service site.
- Distinct composition: document-like navy and parchment casebook with numbered margin notes.
- Typography: Libre Baskerville / DM Sans.
- Tokens: page #f2efe7, ink #24354a, accent #364c69.
- A marginal practice note, substantial reading columns and case summaries convey expertise without relying on a hero photograph. Consultation intake collects context rather than selling a standard booking slot.
- Use the native inputs and labelled states in Demo.vue as interaction references. Replace local fixtures with real validation, availability and backend behaviour in the destination application.
