Design Focus Statement
The WDS Presentation Page transforms designers from overwhelmed task-doers into empowered strategic leaders who shoulder complexity as a calling, not a burden.
Primary Design Target: Stina the Strategist (Designer)
Must Address (Critical for Conversion):

- Lars needs trust signals → Show entrepreneurs how WDS designers deliver business value
- Felix needs to see benefits → Quick mention that specs will be better
- Community proof → Show the 50 evangelists emerging (testimonials, case studies)
