Website Design: Ballpoint Pen & Grid Notebook
Style for a Gambling Strategy Website
The website gamblstrategy.com is imagined as a digital notebook filled with handwritten thoughts, probability sketches, and strategic reflections. The entire visual identity is inspired by blue ballpoint pen ink on classic grid paper, creating the feeling that the visitor is reading a gambler’s personal strategy journal rather than a polished corporate site.

The background resembles slightly off-white notebook paper with light blue grid lines. These lines are not perfectly uniform; some fade, some are slightly misaligned, reinforcing the analog, human feel. Text appears as if written with a ballpoint pen: deep blue, slightly uneven strokes, with subtle pressure variations that mimic real handwriting. Headings look like they were written larger and with more emphasis, sometimes underlined by a quick, imperfect pen stroke.
Navigation is simple and functional, like notes in the margin. Menu items such as Blackjack Strategy, Poker Math, Bankroll Management, and Risk Psychology appear as handwritten labels, each slightly tilted. Small doodles—arrows, stars, checkmarks, probability trees—are scattered around the layout, guiding the user’s eye and adding personality without overwhelming the content.
The core of the website focuses on strategy, not hype. Articles read like study notes: clear explanations of odds, expected value, and decision trees. Tables are drawn as if sketched by hand, with uneven lines and handwritten numbers. Important insights are circled or boxed, as though the author wanted to remember them later. Warnings about risk and responsible gambling are written plainly, like a serious note to oneself in the margin.
Interactive elements follow the same theme. Buttons look like hand-drawn rectangles, checkboxes resemble pen-made squares, and hover effects simulate darker ink, as if the pen passed over the same line twice. Even charts appear hand-sketched, reinforcing the idea that strategy is learned through thought, repetition, and discipline.
Overall, gamblstrategy.com feels personal, thoughtful, and analytical. The ballpoint pen and grid notebook style communicates that gambling strategy is not about luck or flashy promises, but about careful calculation, self-control, and learning—one handwritten note at a time.
