Blog

Magazine treatment for all three blog surfaces — named series, editorial structure, and a conversion path on every post.

DESIGN v1.1 LANDED AUG 31 — this scope page was written against v1; verify against the new snapshot before relying on component details.

TEMPLATE SCOPE

What this page does

Relaunches the blog as a publication instead of a feed. One template family renders all three surfaces — corporate stories, deep engineering posts, and the AI publication for builders — with the same magazine mechanics: a cover story, named series that build recurring readership, and a sticky filter bar. The strategic job is twofold: win the technical audience AI Overviews can't satisfy (expert-led, first-party content), and convert readers — every post carries a customized product-sign-up CTA, so the blog stops being a traffic dead end. Launch content is seeded in the design with placeholders flagged pending comms review.

Components on it

  • Cover story — full-bleed featured post per surface.
  • Sticky filter bar — named series · topics · surface switcher.
  • Post grid — editorial cards with series rails, not a reverse-chron dump.
  • Named series architecture — recurring franchises replacing one-off high-velocity posts.
  • Per-post CTA — customized product-sign-up on every post (the Phase 03 blog spec's conversion requirement).
  • Cross-link rails — build-section and case-study links feeding and fed by the refactor.
