Design DNA & styling
Design DNA, themes, typography and keeping your sites unique.
- What is Design DNA?Design DNA is the engine that decides what your site looks like — palette, typography, spacing, layout, motion. It exists so two projects never look identical.
- Why does Design DNA matter?Generic AI websites all look the same. Design DNA pushes back against the purple-gradient-on-white template and gives every project a unique direction.
- Can I change my project's Design DNA?Yes. Open Design, DNA and pick a new direction or remix the current one. The AI regenerates the design system to match.
- Can I lock specific design choices?Yes. Lock any token — colour, font, radius — and the AI works around it. Useful when a brand guideline is non-negotiable.
- Can I generate Design DNA from a brand image?Yes. Drop a logo or brand image in Design, DNA, From image. The AI extracts a palette and proposes matching typography.
- How does the typography system work?Design DNA picks a heading and body font pair plus a type scale. You can swap either font from Design, Typography.
- Is dark mode supported out of the box?Yes. Every Design DNA direction ships with a balanced dark variant. Toggle from Design, Theme.
- What is anti-template mode?A Design DNA option that explicitly avoids common AI layouts (hero-grid-cta-footer) and pushes for asymmetric, magazine-style or bento compositions.
- Can I add custom CSS to a project?Yes. Design, Custom CSS lets you add scoped overrides. The Coach warns when overrides break the theme contract.
- Can I export the design tokens?Yes. Design, Tokens, Export produces a JSON file with every colour, font, size and motion value, ready for Figma or your design system.
- Can I import tokens from Figma?Yes. Design, Tokens, Import accepts a Style Dictionary or Tokens Studio JSON file. Conflicts are flagged before import.
- Can I change the layout style of a page?Yes. On any page click Layout and pick from the available compositions. Design DNA filters out options that conflict with your direction.
- How does motion work in Blanca's Builder sites?Motion follows the Design DNA motion style: subtle, balanced or expressive. You can disable motion globally for accessibility from Design, Motion.
- Are generated sites accessible by default?Yes. Colour contrast, focus rings, keyboard navigation and reduced-motion are validated by automated checks before any preview.
- Is right-to-left layout supported?Yes. The system flips layouts for Arabic and other RTL languages automatically. Mirroring of icons and progress bars is handled by the design system.
- Are there pre-made design presets?Yes. Design, Presets includes vetted starting points by industry. Each preset is a Design DNA snapshot you can remix freely.
- Can I change the tone of generated copy?Yes. Brief, Tone lets you pick from a set of voices. The Coach regenerates copy on demand to match.
- Can I share a Design DNA between projects?Yes. Save the DNA as a snapshot and apply it to another project. Useful for keeping a multi-site brand consistent.
- Can I revert a design change I do not like?Yes. Every accepted design change creates a snapshot. Design, History lets you compare and revert to any earlier version.
- Can I give the Coach feedback on a design?Yes. Right-click any element and choose Comment. The Coach uses your feedback when it regenerates that area.
