Design Notes

Mockup A uses the r1- palette: walnut (#3E1F0D), sage (#65A30D), cream (#FFFBF0), and gold (#B8860B). Warm library feel -- like walking into a beautiful bookshop.
Mockup B uses the r2- palette: white (#FFFFFF), emerald (#059669), sky (#0EA5E9), and slate (#1E293B). Clean, modern, app-store experience.
Mockup C uses the r3- palette: dark (#1A1410), gold (#D4A03C), and wine (#881337). Premium, reverent, cathedral at midnight.
Mockup D uses the r4- palette: terracotta (#C2410C), teal (#0D9488), and cream (#FFFBEB). Warm community marketplace, church bazaar modernized.
All mockups share identical content: Bibles (KJV, NIV, ESV, Acholi, Lango, Luganda), devotionals, theology, pastoral resources, flash drive sermons, music/worship, and Christian merchandise.
Christian merchandise includes hoodies, caps, T-shirts, scarves, mugs, bags, phone covers, and wall hangings with Christian quotes and scriptures.
Payment methods (MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Visa/MC) are prominently featured in all four -- mobile money is the primary payment method for Ugandan customers.
Bulk ordering for churches/schools and gift ordering (buy for someone/church) are key features across all mockups.
Local language Bibles (Acholi, Lango, Luganda) are given prominent placement -- this is a key differentiator for Labwor Books.
All prices are in UGX (Ugandan Shillings) reflecting realistic market pricing for Christian literature in East Africa.
Fonts: Clash Display for headings, Source Serif 4 for literary accents, Source Sans 3 for body text.
