Build a landing page in the visual style of Platonphoto.
Reference design system (extracted from the live site):
- Palette: #b61924, #22886c, #fce4dc, #5675a1, #c4a4a8
- Typefaces: sans-serif, LeCorbusier
- Macrostructure: Manifesto
Use the dominant colour for surfaces, the accent sparingly,
and lean on type weight + scale rather than colour for hierarchy.
