Web Patterns.
The VDI Australia surface.

The marketing-site dialect of the VDI system — a warmer, higher-contrast take that pairs Barlow and PT Sans with the VDI yellow on a paper background. It exists alongside the primary system; reach for it on public-facing marketing surfaces (vdiaustralia.com.au, model pages, configurator entry), not on internal application screens.

01
Principles

Confident, not loud.

Four rules govern every pattern on this page. They translate the brand book (driven, trusted, customer-centric) into the specific moves the website is allowed to make.

— 01

Display oversized.

Hero headings live at 88–140 px. Anything smaller and the page reads like an admin tool.

— 02

Yellow is punctuation.

One yellow moment per screen — a marquee, a hover state, a CTA band. Never a yellow background and a yellow button.

— 03

Paper, not white.

Hero zones sit on #F7F7F1 paper. White is reserved for cards and modal surfaces.

— 04

Edges, not shadows.

Cards use hairline #E6E6E6 borders. Elevation enters only on hover.

02
Type Pairing · Web

Barlow + PT Sans.

The website ships with Barlow as the display family (a condensed, engineered grotesk with strong weight at 800/900) and PT Sans as the body face. Both are available on Google Fonts and load with the tokens.

Comfort, capacity and Cummins Euro VI performance — the C12 is the most flexible coach in the Yutong range. School run in the morning, charter on the weekend, mining crew at midnight.

Navigation Chrome

Utility bar & sticky header.

Every public page opens with two stacked bars. The thin blue utility strip carries contact + dealer affordances; the white sticky header carries the primary nav and the Build & Order CTA. Together they always resolve to a single page-spanning yellow accent.

Buttons · Web

Four CTA states.

Square-cornered (2px), letter-spaced, never pill-shaped. The hero CTA flips colors on hover — blue base, yellow on intent — which is the visual signature of the marketing site. Pair it with a quiet ghost button; never two strong buttons together.

Hero · Spec Pills · Stat Row

The model hero.

Two-column hero (140 px display on the left, supporting copy + pills + CTAs on the right), a full-bleed image well below, then a 5-column stat row banded by hairline rules. The pattern repeats for every model page.

Yellow Strip

The marquee accent.

A full-bleed yellow band that punctuates the page transitions — typically immediately under a hero or before a final CTA. Use it once per page. Pair short, telegraphic phrases separated by 4 px dots.

Variant Cards

One bus. Four jobs.

A 4-up grid that lays out product configurations side-by-side. Each card carries a kicker (variant ##), the configuration name, a dash-led feature list, and a seats-count footer separated by a hairline. Hover lifts the card by 3 px and brings in a navy border.

Reviews · Floating Price CTA

Social proof, then price.

Two patterns that share the same row in our standard model template. Reviews live on paper with a 3 px yellow left bar; the price CTA floats over the hero image as a navy slab anchored bottom-right.

Closing CTA

The page-ending yellow.

Every model and service page closes with a full-bleed yellow band carrying a 96 px headline, a single supporting paragraph, and a dark / ghost button pair. It's the only place where the dark button is allowed at this scale.
