What it does

A concise home-cloud statement introduces polished physical hardware on a dark canvas. A large product film leads into colorful app dashboards, phone compositions and private-cloud explanations. Purple-lit interface windows and an app ecosystem connect the hardware to self-hosted software before community material near the bottom.

Why it works

Physical product views anchor the abstract idea of owning a cloud. Consistent dark surfaces and luminous interfaces connect the hardware and software portions of the story.

Source and capture notes

Refero [style page](https://styles.refero.design/style/9e5bd4b1-0ba8-4592-a5ec-a935bd4ea9c6) and [recorded video](https://images.refero.design/styles/refero.design/video/e677ecaf-1cd4-41c1-a6f3-a8adb7ca01bd.mp4); [live site](https://umbrel.com) checked on 2026-10-06. 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 current opening uses a room-scale display-and-dashboard film and promotes newer hardware and OS features. It differs from the recorded hardware-focused introduction.
