I need you to build a set of branded HTML proposal templates for a software platform called Portal. These templates are inserted into a rich-text editor and exported as PDF proposals, so they must follow strict technical rules.


TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS (do not deviate from these)
All styles must be fully inline — no <style> blocks, no external CSS, no CSS classes
Wrap everything in: <div style="max-width:760px; margin:0 auto; font-family:'Segoe UI',Arial,sans-serif;">
Do not use inline <svg> elements — the code editor strips them. Use Unicode characters or numbered fallbacks instead
Use target="_blank" on all external links
No JavaScript
No external fonts or stylesheets
Photo placeholders: https://placehold.co/664x280/[BG_HEX]/[TEXT_HEX]?text=Property+Photo

COMPANY WEBSITE:
[PASTE YOUR WEBSITE URL]
OFFICIAL LOGO:
[UPLOAD YOUR LOGO FILE]

Create a custom branded cover image for my company.

Final image size: 1200 × 650 pixels.

Before creating the image, carefully research my company website so the design accurately represents our business, customers, services, location, and existing brand.
Research the Company First

Use my website as the primary source of truth.

Review the homepage and, when available, the About, Services, Solutions, Industries, Residential, Commercial, Technology, Manufacturer, Contact, and Service Area pages.

Also pay attention to navigation menus, homepage service cards, certifications, manufacturer relationships, photography, recurring terminology, and other information that helps explain how the company positions itself.
Do not make assumptions based only on the company name or broad industry.

Determine What Type of Company This Is

Before designing, determine which category best represents the company:
- Premium residential smart-home integration
- AV / home theater
- Lifestyle automation
- Consumer home security
- Monitored alarm / security
- Commercial access control
- Commercial security integration
- Industrial security
- Enterprise systems integration
- Property-management automation
- Hospitality automation
- Mixed residential / commercial integration

Do not classify a residential smart-home integrator as a security company simply because cameras, surveillance, alarms, or protection are among its services.

If the website strongly emphasizes smart living, luxury homes, lighting control, motorized shades, audio/video, entertainment, architectural integration, interior design partnerships, Control4, Savant, Josh.ai, Lutron, Sonos, Kaleidescape, or similar technologies, treat the company primarily as a residential smart-home / lifestyle technology brand unless the website clearly indicates otherwise.

Understand the Customer
Determine who the company is primarily selling to.
Examples could include:
- Luxury homeowners
- Builders and architects
- Interior designers
- Everyday homeowners
- Commercial businesses
- Property managers
- Hospitality operators
- Enterprise organizations
- Industrial facilities

The visual direction should appeal to the company's actual customer rather than simply representing the technology it installs.
Determine the Emotional Positioning

Identify the feeling the company is trying to sell.
For example:
- Luxury automation: elegant, aspirational, architectural, sophisticated and experiential.
- Residential smart-home integration: comfortable, seamless, intuitive and elevated living.
- Consumer home security: family safety, reassurance, trust and protection.
- Commercial / industrial security: reliability, vigilance, professionalism and operational resilience.
- Property automation: efficiency, scalability, centralized management and remote control.

Use this emotional positioning to guide the imagery and overall visual style.

Follow the Actual Brand

Study the company's logo, website colors, typography, photography, graphic treatments, iconography, layout style, and overall visual personality.

Use the uploaded official logo directly.

Do not redraw, recreate, reinterpret, modify, or approximate the logo.

Match the design palette to colors actually present in the official logo and company website.

Do not introduce unrelated accent colors simply because they are commonly associated with the industry.

For example, do not automatically use glowing blue cybersecurity or security graphics unless that look genuinely matches the company's brand.

Identify the Company's Primary Services

Find actual service categories on the company website.

These might include:
- Smart home automation
- Lighting control
- Motorized shading
- Home theater
- Audio/video
- Networking
- Surveillance
- Access control
- Security
- Structured wiring
- Conference rooms
- Commercial AV
- Managed services

Only use services that can be verified on the website.

Choose approximately 3–5 of the strongest services that best represent the company.

Include a clean, visually integrated service-icon section when enough verified services are available.

Icons should match the company's positioning:
- Luxury residential brands → refined minimalist line icons
- Commercial integration companies → clean professional system icons
- Consumer security companies → approachable protection-oriented icons
- Industrial / enterprise companies → technical infrastructure-style icons

Do not use unrelated generic icons.

Determine the Company's Geographic Identity

Identify the company's headquarters, primary city, metro area, or strongest service region using information directly from the website.

Look at Contact pages, footer addresses, Service Area pages, area codes, maps, licensing references, and regional language.

If the company has a strong connection to a recognizable geographic market, subtly reflect that location in the environmental imagery when appropriate.

For example:
- Dallas → North Texas architecture or a subtle Dallas skyline
- Miami → modern coastal luxury architecture
- Denver → mountain-modern environment
- Phoenix → desert-modern architecture
- Nashville → appropriate Nashville architectural cues

Geographic elements should remain secondary to the company brand.

Do not turn the cover into a travel poster.

If the website does not establish a clear geographic identity, use a neutral environment rather than inventing a location.

Choose Imagery Based on the Company's Real Business

Hero imagery should reflect the company's actual customer and operating model.

For a luxury residential automation company, appropriate imagery might include:
- High-end modern residences
- Elegant living spaces
- Architectural lighting
- Entertainment environments
- Refined indoor/outdoor living
- Seamlessly integrated technology

Do not automatically use:
- Security guards
- CCTV command centers
- Walls of surveillance monitors
- Tactical imagery
- Blue glowing security graphics
- Industrial control rooms

Only use those visual themes if the website clearly positions the company as a commercial, industrial, enterprise, or monitored-security provider.

For commercial companies, use imagery appropriate to professional facilities, corporate environments, infrastructure, integrated systems, and operational reliability.

Keep the Cover Clean

The finished cover should feel like a professionally designed brand campaign rather than an informational flyer.
Prioritize:
- Official company logo
- Strong brand atmosphere
- Relevant hero imagery
- Concise positioning statement or verified tagline
- Clean service icons
- Subtle geographic identity when appropriate

Avoid excessive text and unnecessary visual clutter.

Do Not Automatically Add Contact Information

You may use contact information found on the website to verify the company and understand its geographic market.

However, do not automatically place phone numbers, email addresses, street addresses, website URLs, footer contact bars, or other contact information on the cover.

Only add contact information if I specifically request it.

Accuracy Is More Important Than Creativity

Do not invent:
- Taglines
- Services
- Locations
- Certifications
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
- Manufacturer partnerships
- Awards
- Business claims

If something cannot be verified from the company website, leave it out.

When choosing between creative improvisation and brand accuracy, prioritize brand accuracy.

Before Generating the Image Internally determine the following:
- Business classification: What kind of company is this?
- Primary customer: Who is the company selling to?
- Emotional positioning: What feeling or experience is the company selling?
- Core services: Which 3–5 offerings best define the business?
- Visual identity: Which colors, imagery, typography style, and design language define the brand?
- Geographic identity: Which location or market, if any, should influence the imagery?

Then use those findings to create the final cover.

Final Requirements

The finished image should:
- Be 1200 × 650 pixels
- Feel custom-designed for this specific company
- Match the company's actual website branding
- Use the uploaded official logo accurately
- Reflect the company's real industry positioning
- Appeal to the company's actual target customer
- Incorporate tasteful icons for verified primary services
- Use geographic cues appropriately when verified
- Avoid generic AI-template aesthetics
- Avoid excessive text
- Avoid unnecessary contact information
- Be polished enough for professional dealer/company use
