CarritoFácil

Brand guide · Version 1.0

From recipes to groceries, made easier.

A simple guide to help our website, app and every message tell the same story: organizing grocery shopping around your recipes.

Explore our brand

01 / What we do

Recipes are the starting point. Organized shopping is the result.

CarritoFácil brings together ingredients from your chosen recipes, adjusts quantities for your servings, and organizes your shopping list by category.

For people who save recipes, decide what to eat and want to arrive at the grocery store knowing what to buy and how much.

  1. 01

    Choose your recipes

    Save, create or import them from supported links.

  2. 02

    Adjust your servings

    Decide how many servings you want from each recipe.

  3. 03

    Shop with one list

    Combine compatible quantities and find ingredients grouped by category.

Our promise

Make grocery shopping easier to organize. Not teach people to cook better.

AI recipes and preparation steps support the experience. They do not replace the main benefit. We do not sell groceries or provide delivery.

02 / How we speak

Clear, friendly and useful.

Lead with the benefit, then the feature behind it. Use short sentences, concrete verbs and promises the app can keep.

Clear

Say what happens: bring ingredients together, adjust quantities, organize the list.

Friendly

Write naturally and directly. Spanish uses voseo: elegí, guardá, ajustá. Avoid jargon and pressure.

Honest

AI helps; the user reviews. Talk about organization, not perfect outcomes.

Spanish is the default language. English should sound natural, not translated word for word. The name CarritoFácil stays the same. Transactional messages explain what happened, what the person can do and what confirming will change.

04 / Our colors

Fresh and bright. Always readable.

Green and teal identify the brand. Light backgrounds support the content. Deep teal is a contrast tool, not the dominant tone.

Action green

Primary buttons, with dark labels.

Brand teal

Accents, icons and brand details.

Deep teal

#047F78

Links on white and an alternative for white labels.

Cream

#F4F1EB

A warm background for the app and brand materials.

White

#FFFFFF

Clean surfaces and room to breathe.

One signature gradient

120° · #65CD96 0% → #39BA97 41% → #15AA99 79% → #07A499 100%. For headers, splash screens and brand compositions; not behind small white text.

Contrast is part of our brand, too.

Normal text: at least 4.5:1. Large text: at least 3:1. Prefer dark labels on bright green buttons. Never rely on color alone to convey selection or an error.

  • On the web, use 16 px as a body-text reference with 1.5–1.7 line height. In the app, respect the system text-size setting.
  • One heading, one idea. Avoid all-caps paragraphs and tiny text for important information.
  • Make controls comfortable: aim for at least 44 × 44 px, visible focus and clear labels.
