Choice cards

Selectable cards for plans, extras or options: built on AceCSS buttons, selected with a class, aria-pressed or a checked radio inside. Pure CSS, accessible, dark mode ready.

Choice cards

Large selectable options, like a vehicle class, an insurance plan or a role. A card uses the secondary surface and gets a 2px brand ring when it's selected. The recommended way to build one is a <label> around a hidden radio, because it needs no JavaScript and works with the keyboard.

<label class="ace-btn ace-btn--secondary ace-choice-card">
  <input type="radio" name="plan" checked>
  <strong>Full cover</strong>
  <span>€0 excess · +€12 / day</span>
</label>

<!-- Or a button you toggle yourself: add .is-selected or aria-pressed="true" -->

Hero buttonA sparkle call-to-action button for landing pages: a dark pill that turns brand-coloured on hover, with twinkling stars, a spark line round the edge and particles. No GSAP, respects reduced motion.
NavbarA sticky floating glass navbar: blurred, tinted pill with a sliding hover highlight, a raised shadow on scroll and a mobile menu that unfolds inside the pill. Framework-free, dark mode included.
Liquid navbarA liquid-glass navbar that refracts the real page behind it: a WebGL lens magnifies, bends content in at the rim with a colour fringe, frosts and lights the glass. Drop-in HTML, no framework.
Segmented controlA segmented control for switching views or options: a row of AceCSS buttons with aria-pressed, in three sizes and a full-width variant. Accessible, dark-mode ready, no JavaScript needed for the styles.
InputsAccessible CSS text inputs with labels, hints, required markers and error states, plus inputs with icons, prefixes and suffixes. Works with plain HTML forms and any framework.
