Claims five concrete debugging moves and applies them to a real developer site, producing a working before-and-after. Steps show how to pick color from dribbble.com/colors, grab hex with a Chrome eyedropper, generate tints with paletteon.com, choose Google Fonts and pairings, and size type with type-scale.com and a modular scale; spacing uses a 20px base. The result is a rebuilt layout, clearer hierarchy, and a polished call-to-action that actually reads and clicks.
