Main Site

Shared website platform for March and Ash marketing sites, managed through one structured CMS.

Section Library

Shared production sections, grouped the way real pages would use them

This page should showcase the production-ready section family first. The older demo and specimen blocks still matter for compatibility and regression checks, but they should live in a clearly separated appendix instead of setting the tone for the whole review page.

Group One

Hero systems and page openings

These are the top-of-page systems. They should feel spacious, branded, and capable of leading a page without collapsing into generic hero patterns.

Lead capture surface

The form side should feel practical and compact while the right side keeps the surrounding campaign energy.

Demo-only form for style-guide review. Integration and submission behavior should be wired separately.

New Section

Form hero with capture on the left and CTA framing on the right

This pattern covers campaign capture, retailer inquiry, wholesale outreach, or gated download moments without forcing a completely separate page template.

New Section

Variant-readyMerchandising

A real production media split instead of a placeholder layout

Media split section

The upgraded media split now supports richer CTAs, badges, highlight bullets, and visual theming so it can handle real product and campaign storytelling instead of just demo copy.

Supports image or video media

Can carry bullets, badges, and dual CTAs

Good for product, education, or campaign use

Theme treatment can shift without forking the component

New Section

Video background hero for motion-first page openings

This is the motion-led hero option for launch pages, campaign openings, or editorial landing moments where a static image feels too flat. It should feel immersive without abandoning the shared section system.

Group Two

Storytelling and merchandising systems

This group should carry the bulk of modern storytelling pages: product narratives, category merchandising, educational detail, and collection pathways.

New Section

Feature grid for alternating story beats

This should become a reliable merchandising and storytelling block for category pages, product lineups, and campaign detail pages.

Alternating rows create momentum

Alternate media and text rows create a steady reading rhythm without forcing every story into the same hero shape.

Good for category stories and product families

This is useful when the page needs multiple moments of explanation, product framing, or campaign detail without becoming visually repetitive.

New Section

Video split for explainers, walkthroughs, and launch recaps

Video split covers product walkthroughs, founder explainers, educational content, and launch recaps without creating a separate template family. It should feel as easy to reuse as media split, just with motion at the center.

New Section

Feature columns for supporting detail

This gives the system a straightforward way to explain differentiators, process, benefits, or educational steps in a clean multi-column layout.

Clear structure

Use for concise proof points, capability summaries, or process callouts.

Balanced content

Works well when every item has roughly equal importance and similar copy length.

Platform-friendly

Keeps the page systematic without falling back to generic Tailwind filler cards.

New Section

Icon strip for compact value props

No Distillate

Short proof point

Flavor Forward

Compact claim row

Triple Lab

Quick trust surface

Editorial Friendly

Simple repeated content

New Section

Card grid for collections and pathways

This is one of the most reusable patterns in the system for category navigation, product families, campaign pathways, or secondary content promotion.

Category

Product family one

Use this card style for pathway navigation with enough room for useful supporting copy.

Collection

Product family two

Cards should be useful and editorially flexible, not just decorative tiles.

Next group
Pathway

Product family three

This section should handle collections, categories, and featured paths without needing separate components.

Explore path

New Section

Carousel for sequential stories and collections

Carousel gives the system a curated horizontal storytelling pattern for launches, product families, or editorial roundups. It should be used when sequential browsing adds value, not as a substitute for clear page hierarchy.

Illustrated storefront display for the shared website platform demo
Launch

Product launch sequence

Use carousel for compact campaign moments, new drops, or a tightly related set of stories that benefit from side-by-side comparison.

Editorial

Story set with supporting detail

The cards should still communicate clearly when swiped one at a time on mobile. Strong titles and summaries matter more than novelty.

Next group
Merchandising

Horizontal collection preview

This is useful when the system needs horizontal browsing without introducing a heavy custom slider dependency or one-off app code.

Open updates

Group Three

Conversion, capture, and utility

This group covers decisive actions and low-friction conversion patterns. These should stay clear and practical rather than turning into decorative clutter.

New Section

CTA band for decisive conversion moments

This is the controlled, conversion-focused section for pages that need a strong action moment without escalating all the way to another hero.

New Section

Newsletter signup for low-friction capture

This is the lightweight reusable email capture pattern. Integration can vary later, but the section structure should stay consistent.

Demo-only capture surface. Real integration, consent language, and submission behavior should be wired per project needs.

New Section

FAQ for education and objection handling

FAQ is worth having early because it handles education, objections, and compliance-adjacent clarification without inventing special-purpose layouts.

Why include FAQ in the first section wave?

+

Because this is a common real-world content need and it gives editors a clean way to manage expandable educational content in the CMS.

Can this work beyond support content?

+

Yes. The accordion pattern already supports flexible copy lengths and should work across campaign, product, and support-style pages.

Group Four

Trust, proof, and human context

This group should handle credibility, human context, and supporting proof without falling into generic filler. Use it when the content is real enough to earn the space.

New Section

Testimonial section for social proof

This should only be used when the content is real, but it belongs in the system because social proof is a common pattern and should not become a one-off every time.

"

The new section system finally gives us reusable campaign building blocks without flattening every page into the same generic template.

It feels much easier to imagine real content living in these sections than in the older placeholder patterns.

New Section

Logo cloud for credibility signals

The logo cloud stays useful when there are real retailer, partner, product-line, or press marks to show. Until then it should remain intentionally simple.

New Section

Team section for founder or leadership stories

Team should stay available for trust-building pages, founder stories, and expert-led brands, but it should not become mandatory filler on every site.

Appendix

Legacy and utility QA surfaces

These older or denser QA surfaces still have value, but they should read as appendix material instead of setting the tone for the whole style guide. Keep them available for regression checks without letting them crowd the production-ready section library.

Legacy Surface

Background hero remains renderable for older content

This older section stays visible here for compatibility review, but it is no longer the lead voice of the style guide.

Default hero section

This simpler baseline hero is still renderable, but the new immersive and form-led hero systems are now the primary reference.

Theme Showcase

Headings, buttons, and surfaces

This section intentionally concentrates typography, buttons, and surface styles so theme changes become obvious without clicking through multiple pages.
