Placeholder page for new domains: three directions

Each one is a single self-contained file with no external fonts, scripts or images, and each reads the domain name from the browser, so one file serves every domain. Open them to compare, then tell me which direction to refine.

Direction 1

Status receipt

Light and instrument-like. States the domain is live, then confirms the three things that had to work: the address, the connection and the server. Calm and professional.

Open direction 1
Direction 2

Connection trace

Dark console feel. Draws the path the request just travelled, from browser to server, lighting each stop as it goes. Speaks to developers.

Open direction 2
Direction 3

The address

Bolder and poster-like. Treats the domain as an address and typesets it by its parts, so the name itself is the whole design.

Open direction 3
Direction 4

Trace, in the address colours

Direction 2's connection trace and pulse, rebuilt in direction 3's palette and type treatment: the domain typeset by its parts with the main name bold, and a smaller "is answering" line under it.

Open direction 4
Direction 5 ยท newest

Trace, refined

Direction 2 kept as it is, with four adjustments: the line runs through the centre of the dots, the domain is a step larger, "is answering" is a quieter caption under it, and the last dot plus the header status share one slow heartbeat.

Open direction 5

All of them adapt to phones, keep keyboard focus visible, and stop animating for anyone who has reduced motion switched on. Directions 1 and 2 also follow the visitor's light or dark theme.
