Conversion system overview

Editorial energy, conversion discipline

The system combines expressive launch storytelling with strict conversion hierarchy. Large display type establishes the promise; compact proof, product evidence, and repeated single-purpose actions move the reader through the page without turning every section into a card.

Relay is fictional preview content. The reusable contract is the page rhythm, type pairing, signal-red action hierarchy, product evidence treatment, copy limits, media rules, and responsive marketing states.

Display headline

CTA hierarchy

One filled action per section. Secondary actions remain quiet text links.

Page anatomy

Full landing sequence

Copy system

Voice and conversion copy

The template keeps claims concrete and makes each CTA describe the real outcome.

Good

  • Turn every product release into a story customers can follow.
  • Connect evidence, tasks, and messaging in one launch workspace.
  • Build launch plan

Avoid

  • revolutionize
  • supercharge
  • next-generation
  • seamless
  • unlock the power of AI

Media and conversion

Guardrails for the AI agent

Media rules

  • Show real product UI when claiming workflow clarity
  • Use abstract composition only for proof labels or issue markers
  • Crop screenshots around the active release timeline
  • Place captions below media
  • Use 10px media radius and a thin Rule outline
  • Mobile crops preserve labels and primary task state

Conversion rules

  • One primary conversion action per section
  • Proof appears before the visitor has to trust a large claim
  • Primary CTA uses Signal Red and should not compete with another filled button
  • Evidence Blue is reserved for product proof and selected data
  • Final CTA repeats the highest-intent action with reassurance
  • Secondary actions are text links or quiet outlines

Do

  • State one concrete promise in the hero
  • Make product evidence visible in the first viewport
  • Use one primary conversion action per section
  • Alternate narrative density intentionally
  • Keep body copy to readable line lengths
  • Pair claims with proof
  • Use display type selectively
  • Preserve a strong mobile reading order

Don't

  • No generic “Build faster, ship smarter” copy
  • No purple gradients because the page is SaaS
  • No every-section-inside-a-card layout
  • No repeated centered layout from top to bottom
  • No fake logos without text labels
  • No six-line mobile hero headlines
  • No two equal primary CTAs beside each other
  • No arbitrary Tailwind colors

Tokens

Color system

Named roles from the template contract. Signal Red is reserved for conversion; Evidence Blue is reserved for product proof and data, keeping the editorial system restrained.

# Editorial Product Landing Page DESIGN.md

## Template intent

Build an editorial product landing page for Relay, a fictional launch-operations product for small
product teams. The page should turn scattered product changes, customer evidence, launch tasks, and
message drafts into one clear release narrative.

This is a full landing-page system, not a hero-only template. It defines the page anatomy,
conversion hierarchy, copy rules, media behavior, responsive composition, accessibility states, and
implementation tokens needed for Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex.

## Visual thesis

Editorial launch system with signal red.

- Use warm paper instead of pure white.
- Use deep carbon ink instead of generic slate.
- Use signal red for the one primary conversion action in each section.
- Use evidence blue only for product proof, metrics, and data evidence.
- Let typography and asymmetry do the work before decoration.
- Keep controls square or lightly rounded.
- Use thin rules, proof labels, issue numbers, and annotations.
- Show product evidence in the first viewport.
- Do not add gradients, glassmorphism, random floating pills, or AI sparkle decoration.

## Page anatomy

1. Navigation
   - Purpose: orient the visitor and expose one primary action.
   - Anatomy: wordmark, compact links, product status label, primary CTA.
   - Primary action: Build launch plan.
   - Mobile: collapse links behind a menu; keep CTA visible or inside the first menu row.
   - Failure: a centered nav with five equal actions and no hierarchy.

2. Hero promise
   - Purpose: state one concrete promise and show product evidence.
   - Anatomy: eyebrow, H1, body copy, CTA pair, proof label, launch desk media.
   - Primary action: Build launch plan.
   - Density: spacious text, dense media.
   - Mobile: copy before media, two CTAs stacked only when width requires it.
   - Failure: vague "Build faster, ship smarter" copy with hidden product UI.

3. Social proof
   - Purpose: make the main promise feel earned before asking for trust.
   - Anatomy: proof label, monochrome team names, one metric, accessible text fallback.
   - Primary action: none.
   - Mobile: wrap names into two columns.
   - Failure: fake logo shapes with no labels.

4. Product evidence
   - Purpose: show how evidence, tasks, and messaging connect.
   - Anatomy: screenshot frame, release timeline, customer quote, task lane, caption.
   - Primary action: See the workspace.
