Emberline Outdoor Living is a fictional decks-and-patios business built to show CAI’s Standard tier for a purchase people make with their eyes first. Warm, cinematic photography and an editorial layout, where Stonepitch and Caliper are more utilitarian.

What it demonstrates

  • Dark, warm ground with a muted olive accent and large, light display type
  • Dusk and firelight photography, with gentle parallax that stops for reduced motion
  • A horizontal gallery you can drag, scroll or step through with arrow buttons
  • Demonstration photography labelled as such on the site itself
  • Six pages, the largest of the three Standard concepts

Emberline is a fictional business. Its forms check your answers and then stop: nothing is sent or stored.

Every site here is a concept built by CAI to show what each tier produces. The businesses are fictional, and each site says so on its own pages. They are complete, working sites: every page, form, menu and layout is real.
