capturing the terminal aesthetic
the candaceserver homepage has this amazing raw terminal feel that’s both nostalgic and modern.
design elements
color palette
- dark background (#111) creates that terminal window feel
- bright green headings (#0f0) for that classic hacker vibe
- cyan links (#0ff) that shift to magenta when visited
- yellow on hover (#ff0) for that authentic terminal response
typography
monospace fonts throughout create consistency with actual terminal output.
tone
the casual, lowercase writing style (“welcome to candaceserver”, “ive been visited X times”) feels personal and approachable while maintaining the technical aesthetic.
