WEB BUILDER / EXPLANATION BLOCKS

Blocks that explain how a piece of work runs.

These blocks show steps, checks, approvals and results instead of decorating a page. Every example below uses sample content about how a web page gets published.

STATUS PANEL

What is ready, what is checked and who decides, in one view.

Used when the reader needs the state of a piece of work at a glance. The sample is a web page on its way to publication.

Brand rulesEach site is checked against its brand rules.

STEP DIAGRAM

What goes in, what happens in the middle, what comes out.

Content

What the page says

Its title, its sections and its calls to action.

Design

Shared blocks

Tested blocks dressed in each brand's colours and fonts.

Checks

Checks and approval

Links, page structure and search data are checked before release, and a person decides whether to publish.

Page

The published page

A page the team can read, share and review.

Check

Checked after release

Once live, the page is checked again: its address, its content and whether search engines can index it.

LAYERS

Layers, when each level depends on the one below.

Used to show a stack in which every level has its own status and result.

Layer output

Shared rules

The base every tool stands on: a history, a record of each change, no repeated changes and a way back.

  • Nothing overwritten
  • Repeats recognised and skipped
Resulta reviewable history

Layer output

Tools

Each tool does one job on top of those rules, such as Amazon Ads, Search Intelligence or Web Builder.

  • One job per tool
  • A person approves the changes

Middleready

Rules

The shared logic that turns what comes in into something useful: rules, scoring and checks.

Endready

Result

What a person decides on: a suggestion, a draft change or a list of tasks.

STATUS TABLE

A table of items against the checks each one needs.

Used when several items each have several states. The sample rows are this site's page types against the checks before publishing.
