Page Outlines

section-by-section outlines for every page, across the three phases

Each outline lists a page's sections in order, beside a wireframe showing how they stack. Numbers match the outline, hovering either side highlights the other, and the faded dashed bands are the navigation and footer. Click any wireframe for a larger annotated version you can step through and print.

Items marked ✦ are interstitials — a testimonial, an impact line, a call to action — that break up the reading and catch a visitor ready to act before they reach the bottom. They need real material. A venue that hasn't opened has no testimonials, so most of them are phase 3.

These are structural, not the design. Layout, typography, color and photography come later.

WarningAnything canonical appears once.

Capacity lives on The Space. What a booking includes lives on Rates. Catering policy lives on Catering. Address and parking live on Check Availability. The FAQ is one pool in the CMS rendered filtered per page. Every other appearance is a link or a filtered view of the same record, never a second copy. See what has to stay canonical.


Phase 1

One page, optional and undecided; see Scope. It exists to be linkable, to start collecting interest and to be findable while the building is going up.

Phase 1 — one page wireframe
1Hero2What the space is3Specifications at a glance4Renderings (6)5Rate range6Where the rental goes7Interest form8Questions+++++9Contact and location
  1. Hero:

    The best rendering, the name of the space, "opening 2027," and one line on what it is. Primary action: check availability.

    ConfirmWhich rendering is cleared for marketing use, and whether the architect requires a credit.
  2. What the space is:

    Two short paragraphs. The room, the deck, the building it sits in, and the kinds of events it's built for.

  3. Specifications at a glance:

    The three numbers a planner checks first: seated capacity, standing capacity, the deck. Every one of them is currently unknown.

    ConfirmCapacity by layout.ConfirmDeck capacity, and whether it is year-round.
  4. Renderings:

    Four to six architectural renderings, captioned.

  5. Rate range:

  6. Where the rental goes:

  7. Interest form:

    QuestionDoes this collect interest, or take live inquiries? It changes the framing and where submissions go.
  8. Questions:

    When does it open, where is it, how big is it, what does it cost, can I see it. Answering "we don't know yet" is fine; leaving the question off the page is not.

  9. Contact and location:

    Address, phone, email, map link, transit and parking.


Phase 2

Eight pages at booking-open, built on renderings and empty-room photography.

The Space

The page everything else links to. It carries the canonical capacity chart, the floorplan, the video tour, the deck and accessibility.

Phase 3

After the first season of events, when there's material that can't be manufactured.

  • Gallery as a destination, grouped by space and event type, once there are real events in it.
  • The roof deck as its own page, if deck-only bookings materialize.
  • Testimonials on Home, Weddings and Meetings. Real quotes with names and what they booked.
  • Real-event photography replacing empty-room shots, and the Weddings page rebuilt around it.
  • How a wedding day works with concrete hours, once a wedding has run.
NoteNothing here can be brought forward.

Each item needs the venue to have operated.
