Northstep — concept mockup

Colors are blue-forward on purpose — research on UI color psychology consistently points to blue as the most trusted, broadly appealing choice for a tool like this, and it happens to match the Northstep brand blue already. Still neutral enough to work for any school, not tied to one school's spirit colors. Use the toggle below to view it as a student or as staff. Resize this browser window (or open the file on a laptop vs. a phone) — the layout switches to a desktop version automatically above ~860px wide.
