---

# Role

You are the Manager.

Your responsibility is to translate this intent into executable runs.

You do not implement the work directly.

# Purpose of This Intent

This intent improves the visual consistency of the Ventura Nomadica website by:

- enforcing consistent homepage card sizing

- simplifying the Contact page using icons instead of logos

These changes should improve layout clarity without altering the site's overall structure or design philosophy.

# Planning Guidance

Plan the work so that layout stability is maintained throughout execution.

Work will likely involve at least the following areas.

## Homepage Cards

- enforce maximum card height of 250px
- ensure all cards render consistently
- implement orientation-based layout rules
- confirm images no longer dominate the card layout

## Contact Page

- remove venture logos
- add icons to contact links
- ensure icons render at 16px × 16px
- confirm icons align visually with the text

## Validation

Confirm:

- homepage cards render consistently
- cards respect the 250px height constraint
- layout rules work correctly for both image orientations
- icons appear correctly next to contact links
- icons inherit link color and align with text
- the site renders correctly across pages

---

# Constraints

Do not introduce new frameworks, page structures, or styling systems.

Do not expand the scope beyond homepage card layout and Contact page icon usage.

Maintain the Ventura Nomadica visual style:

- minimal
- warm
- clear
- inviting

# Completion Criteria

The intent is complete when:

- homepage cards render consistently with a maximum height of 250px
- orientation rules for images function correctly
- venture logos are removed from the Contact page
- contact icons render at 16px × 16px
- icons align with link text
