Design Decisions

Decision	Choice	Rationale
Page type	Standalone HTML/CSS	Single file, no build step, no JS framework. Matches "Speed is a feature" principle
Framework	None	Zero dependencies — only Google Fonts for typography
Layout	Single scroll page	All content on one page, nav links scroll to sections
Demo animation	Static terminal panel + CSS/JS typewriter	:findx[Space] expands into a find command after 1.8s delay. No external dependencies
Form demo	Static ASCII art terminal	Renders the :findx form fields using pure CSS-styled divs. No JS needed
Email subscription	Not included	Product is free MIT; monetization happens through trigger pack purchases elsewhere
Pricing CTAs	Not included	Packs mentioned in trigger library section but no purchase buttons
Testimonials	3 dummy quotes	Fictional personas: M. Chen (DevOps), J. Kowalski (Sysadmin), A. Patel (Solo Developer)

Key Components Styled

Component	CSS Class/Selector	Style Pattern
Header	.site-header	Sticky, blur backdrop, border-bottom

Cards	.step-card, .feature-card, .trigger-category	--ops-surface bg, border, hover → green border
CTA buttons	.btn-primary	Solid green with !important, hover → #2ea043

Testimonials	.testimonial-card	Terminal-panel gradient, $ echo style quotes
Footer	.site-footer	Same pattern as opshell.dev footer, border-top

Responsive Breakpoints

Breakpoint	Behavior
> 1024px	Full layout: 3-column grids (features, triggers, testimonials)
≤ 1024px	Features and triggers → 2-column, testimonials → 1-column
≤ 768px	Mobile: single column all grids, nav links hidden, CTAs full-width, padding reduced
≤ 480px	Small screens: terminal/panel font-size reduced, footer stacked

JavaScript

Minimal — only three features:

1. Typewriter effect: After 1.8s delay, hides the blinking cursor and shows the expanded command output line
2. Copy button: navigator.clipboard.writeText() with fallback to document.execCommand('copy'). Button shows "copied" feedback for 2s with green styling
3. Smooth scroll: All href="#section" links use scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth' })

Design Notes

• The page is fully self-contained in one HTML file — no build, no server, no framework
• All icons are Unicode characters (⚡, ⎔, ⌕, 〉, ⊞, ⛁) — no icon font or SVG needed
• JetBrains Mono and Inter are loaded via Google Fonts with preconnect for performance
• The hero green glow matches the opshell.dev hero pattern (radial-gradient, filter: blur(6px), pointer-events: none)
• CTA buttons use !important to override the WordPress theme's button styles when deployed on opshell.dev
• The .feature-card::before pseudo-element with ./ matches the opshell card pattern from the child theme
