This study compares two websites with similar design: the commercial Spotlight template from developers of Tailwind vs the same site with semantic CSS.

an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed "baseball" or "basketball" – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned "softball" – typically women – were downgraded.

"a good night's sleep" with an icon of a pillow and Z's, representing sleep. "slow mornings" accompanied by a coffee cup icon. "freedom to choose" symbolized by an open hand with a heart in the center. "time for fun and play" depicted with an artist's palette and brushes. "listening to birds singing" with an illustration of a bird on a branch with musical notes. "long walks" represented by a tree. "a good book" shown with a book icon. "favorite home-cooked meal" with a bowl of food. "colorful sunsets" with a sun partly below a horizon line. "ability to freely express yourself" symbolized by a flame. "day naps" with a cloud and moon indicating sleep. "a good conversation" depicted by two hands in a handshake gesture.
