Opus Vela: replacing placeholders with the products as they actually looked
A six-route media refresh that made Web, Studio, Voice, Pricing, Tools and Security tell one current product story.

Visual QA and product evidence

The transition#
Web had outgrown its early utility framing, while Studio and Voice still relied on a thin set of older images. The refresh made the live company surface, flagship creative workspace and dictation product visibly related without pretending their release states were identical.
Visual QA#
Eleven production captures covered six routes at desktop and 390 pixels; focused project tests also covered 320 pixels. Every reviewed route had zero broken images and zero horizontal overflow before the release was accepted.
Production proof#
The 63-page build, nine Opus-focused browser checks, deployment workflow and live Web, Studio and Voice route readbacks all passed on 21 August.
