What it does

Cron introduces its calendar with a large white headline, orange wordmark and orange signup action on a dark canvas. A desktop calendar preview and overlapping phone provide the main product evidence in a compact page.

Section roster

1. Compact dark navigation. 2. Large calendar introduction. 3. Desktop calendar and overlapping phone preview. 4. Lower utility and download links.

Why it works

The restrained dark surface lets the calendar preview and large headline dominate. Orange appears sparingly in the identity and actions, preserving a clear distinction between marketing copy and interface content.

Source and capture notes

Refero [style page](https://styles.refero.design/style/476184db-a4e6-440b-aa53-27294668361c) and [recorded video](https://images.refero.design/styles/refero.design/video/e8fe5fed-0256-4394-98dd-8ddff4a321c7.mp4); [live site](https://cron.com/) checked on 2026-10-05. The recording is a point-in-time reference; current site content may differ. Descriptions distinguish the recording from the current page where they differ. Layout and motion notes come from sampled recording frames and automated live captures; interactive controls were not comprehensively tested. The source is focused on the opening and offers limited motion evidence. The current page retains that composition and adds a Notion Calendar announcement. Signup, login, downloads and calendar scheduling were not operated.
