 # ZipVoice UI/UX Improvements
 
 ## Overview
-This document outlines the UI/UX enhancements made to the ZipVoice Gradio interface to provide a more modern, professional, and user-friendly experience.
-
-## Design Improvements
-
-### 1. Modern CSS Styling
-- **Linear Gradients**: Applied beautiful gradients to the title and buttons for a modern look
-- **Enhanced Typography**: Improved font weights, colors, and spacing throughout the interface

-
-### 2. Interactive Elements
-- **Button Hover Effects**: Added smooth transitions with transform and shadow effects
-- **Example Cards**: Implemented hover states with subtle color changes
-- **Smooth Animations**: 0.2-0.3s transition effects for better user feedback
-
-### 3. Layout Enhancements
-- **Responsive Grid**: Two-column layout for bilingual instructions
-- **Better Spacing**: Improved margins and padding for cleaner appearance
-- **Visual Hierarchy**: Clear distinction between sections using backgrounds and borders
-
-### 4. User Experience

-- **Professional Footer**: Clean links and attribution
+This document outlines the comprehensive UI/UX enhancements made to the ZipVoice Gradio interface to provide a modern, professional, and user-friendly experience for zero-shot text-to-speech synthesis.
+
+## Latest Improvements (v3.0 - September 2025)
+
+### 🎨 Complete UI Redesign
+- **Modern Design System**: Implemented a comprehensive CSS design system with CSS custom properties for consistent theming
+- **Workflow Layout**: Two-card grid (inputs à gauche, sortie à droite) aligned with the user journey instead of the old sidebar
+- **Step Guidance**: Added step chips at the top to guide users through prompt → transcription → synthesis
+- **Enhanced Typography**: Upgraded to Inter font family with better font weights and spacing
+- **Gradient Accents**: Beautiful gradient backgrounds for titles, buttons, and status indicators
+
+### 🚀 User Experience Enhancements
+- **Loading States**: Added progress indicators during speech generation
+- **Better Visual Feedback**: Enhanced button hover effects, transitions, and micro-interactions
+- **Improved Accessibility**: Better color contrast, focus states, and screen reader support
+- **Responsive Design**: Optimized for mobile devices and tablets
+
+### 🎯 Interface Improvements
+- **Header Section**: Clean logo, title, and status badge layout
+- **Prompt Card**: Voice upload, transcription controls, and advanced settings grouped together
+- **Output Card**: Dedicated space for progress indicator, audio playback, and status updates
+- **Examples Deck**: Relocated quick-start examples below the main cards for better flow
+- **Action Buttons**: Redesigned primary and secondary buttons with modern styling
+
+### 📱 Mobile Optimization
+- **Responsive Grid**: Adapts to different screen sizes
+- **Touch-Friendly**: Larger buttons and touch targets
+- **Flexible Layout**: Stacks elements appropriately on smaller screens
+
+### 🎨 Visual Design Elements
+- **Color Palette**: Professional blue gradient theme with proper contrast
+- **Shadows & Depth**: Subtle shadows for card-based design
+- **Rounded Corners**: Modern border radius throughout
+- **Smooth Animations**: CSS transitions for interactive elements
+- **Adaptive Cards**: Responsive grid ensures cards stack gracefully on smaller screens
+
+### 🎯 Improved Audio Handling
+- **Unified Audio Component**: Removed redundant download button since `gr.Audio` has built-in download functionality
+- **Consistent UI**: Audio output now uses the same component type for both playback and download
+- **Streamlined Interface**: Cleaner layout with fewer redundant controls

-    border: none;
-    border-radius: 12px;
-    transition: all 0.3s ease;
-}
-
-/* Hover effects */
-.btn-primary:hover {
-    transform: translateY(-1px);
-    box-shadow: 0 8px 25px rgba(102, 126, 234, 0.3);
+:root {
+  --primary-gradient: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);
