Bricks, bracketed. Checked before you register.
Primary lockup. Bricks mark plus bracketed words, always together. PNG with transparency, no gradients.
Mark only. Favicons, avatars, app icons. Never below 16px.
Mono, reversed. Single-colour jobs only: engraving, embroidery, fax-era printers.

Loops with stills. Honest motion.
Building true prices...
The official loader: BYR-Loader.gif. Isometric stacking bricks in Brick red (#d01012) and Brick blue (#1c62d6) on transparent alpha ground, rendering natively on both light and dark themes. Reduced-motion visitors get the 25 KB still instead of the loop.
Under construction: 202 KB loop with a 45 KB still frame for reduced motion. Smallest size that stays legible.
The 404. Muted robot loop with a poster still when motion is off. Same loop-with-still rule, everywhere.
Financial Ledger. The tabular architecture.
BeforeYouRegister is built as an honest financial ledger, not a store catalog. The interface exposes hidden renewal spikes, includes the $0.18 ICANN fee across generic TLDs, and anchors all monetary values with tabular numerals to eliminate layout shift.

1. 3-Year True Cost
The 3-year column is prioritized over 1st-year promo hooks to prevent long-term buyer remorse.
2. Tabular Numerals (.tnum)
All currency values, ratings, and percentages use font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums to eliminate layout jitter.
3. $0.18 ICANN Inclusivity
Mandatory ICANN fees are baked directly into quotes from the beginning, creating fair apples-to-apples comparisons.
4. Mathematical Trap Flags
Any renewal exceeding 2.25x the registration price triggers an automatic high-contrast renewal trap alert.

Micro-labels are the only monospace on the site: 12px, uppercase, letterspaced, muted. The hairline grid draws every page behind the content; sections stay transparent so it reads through. Square corners everywhere.
