Editorial Court

A badminton court is not a billboard. It is a magazine in continuous publication.

01 · Editorial Court

Editorial Court is Aplus's visual constant — translating the experience of the court into the restraint of a magazine. Near-black and warm cream make the stage; brass hairlines do the dividing; green and court red appear only on identity and a few CTAs.

02 · Type, restrained

Serif display · sans body · monospace numerals.

No gradients. No box-shadows. No emoji. No Bootstrap rounded cards.

Blue is banned across the spectrum — blue is InfoLead's technology language, not Aplus's court language.

03 · Consistency in detail

Every divider — a brass hairline.
Every figure — JetBrains Mono.
Every coach portrait — dark wall, warm white light, 3/4 turn.

04 · Designed for Aplus's people

A 50-year-old parent reads small type on a Tesla screen.
A player glances at the score under cold gym light.
A parent thumbs through a coach's background between meetings.

Text scales — A- / A / A+.
Contrast 4.5 : 1 and above.
Touch targets 44px and above.
Screen-reader readable.

WCAG 2.1 AA · key pages AAA.

05 · This is not a template

SaaS templates cover everyone with one font, one size — because customization is expensive.

LingDao tunes for the people who actually use Aplus — because this is not a template.

Every Aplus element was designed for Aplus, not reused from the next client's palette.

Tuned together by LingDao Studio and Aplus.

06 · A magazine in continuous publication

New things happen on the court every day — we keep the site in step.

Scores update. Champion photos go up. The second anniversary becomes the third.

Design is not a one-time launch. It is a long-term agreement.
