   PDO TUITION SERVICES — ONLINE TUTOR JOBS (INDIA)
   Design concept: "The Registry" — a warm, distinctive take on a recruiting
   landing page. Ivory paper + deep indigo ink + saffron accent (grounded in
   Indian education, not generic corporate blue). Category-tinted subject
   tags encode real structure. A large serif monogram anchors the hero.
   Built conservatively: solid text colors throughout, no clip-path on text,
   no overlapping decorative text — only proven-safe techniques.

   NEW TEACHER APPLICATION FORM — premium, restrained treatment
   Covers many disciplines (academic, music, dance, art, drama, coding,
   yoga, fitness). Kept deliberately quiet: one accent colour, fine 1px
   borders, a soft focus glow, and consistent spacing — that restraint is
   what reads as premium rather than a busy mix of colours and shapes.

   Scoped by the field IDs you gave me (all start with "t_") and by the
   .pdo-teacher-label / .pdo-teacher-sub-field classes, rather than an
   assumed wrapper class — works whether or not a wrapper exists. If your
   fields ARE wrapped, tell me its class/id and I'll wire the card styling
   to that exact element instead of the .pdo-teacher-form fallback below.
