design system.
One place to shape the brand, review the details, and keep every experience consistent.

Active compositions
01 / Identity
Confident. Clear. Buyer first.
A bold mark, a quiet canvas, and color with a purpose.
The VSW signature
Use the approved shape with its Versusware label.
VersuswareKeep clear space of at least one letter stroke around the mark. Preserve its proportions and charcoal appearance on light surfaces.
Brand voice
Useful information earns trust.
Say what the buyer can do.
“Compare the benefits and the compromises.”
Keep evidence visible.
“No verified community reviews yet.”
Make the next step obvious.
“Find software.” “Open your shortlist.”
Skip hype, unsupported rankings, and claims the data cannot support.
Use the shared banner
import HeroBanner from '@/components/HeroBanner.astro';

Comparison builder
Search and add two to four products, remove choices, or use the saved shortlist. The native GET form remains available without JavaScript. This specimen shares your browser shortlist with the directory on this page.
Profile comparison action
The product-page action shares the same shortlist. It shows selection/removal, a count, comparison navigation at two products, and an edit link when all four slots are occupied.
Editorial comparison rows
Aligned product columns become labeled blocks on mobile. Each row links to a dated source. A takeaway can explain the buying implication.
Work structure[2][8][11]
- Airtable
- Records can represent more than assignments: a client, campaign, asset and task can each have their own table, connected through linked-record fields.
- Asana
- Projects organize assigned tasks, dates and subtasks. Custom fields on Starter add structured information without requiring the team to design a separate database model.
Our take: Airtable is the stronger starting point for relating different business entities. Asana is the more direct starting point for assigning the next piece of project work.
Related cards show completed articles involving the current product. Empty sets render no section; comparisons exclude their own article.

Keep it consistent
- Use semantic tokens rather than new ad hoc colors.
- Extend shared components before creating a second visual treatment.
- Keep labels, focus rings, contrast, and small-screen behavior intact.
- Add a preview and usage note when adding a new component.
- Keep form controls that share Radix context in one React island.
