Fine-tuning is the hardest part of vibe coding. Spent way more time than expected on a small card hover experiment in Claude to prove it.
I really like your work.
A multi-property real estate operator came to me last month asking for a logo refresh. We never touched the logo.
The logo wasn't the problem. The problem was that every property had its own headline style, its own button shape, and three different fonts in three different listing decks. Investors couldn't tell which properties belonged to the same operator.
That's not a creative problem. That's a governance problem.
We wrote a one-page system. Five rules. What the headline does. How the button looks. Which font, full stop. Where the operator's name sits on the brochure. What the photo treatment is.
Six weeks later they closed on their eighth property. The acquisition memo was the first one a private investor said "looked like a real platform" instead of a portfolio of one-off deals.
The logo is still the same logo it was eighteen months ago.
Most brand work that gets billed as identity is actually governance work in a trench coat. The companies that read as one company across every surface aren't the ones with the best logo. They're the ones where every surface obeys five rules.
If you've got more than three surfaces and can't name those rules in one breath, the problem isn't your logo.

Oakline is officially live on the @framer marketplace.
I've been building this one for a few months. It's a luxury real estate template designed for agents and teams who want a high-end web presence without the 4-week build timeline.
It has everything a real estate site needs out of the box: featured properties, agent profiles, testimonials, and a full blog. All connected to the CMS, so clients can manage their own content without touching the design.
Clean layout, SEO-ready, and built entirely in Framer so it's fast to customize and easy to hand off.
If you work with real estate clients, this one's worth having in your toolkit.
