Deliverables
Create at project root before coding:
- •
plan.md— Strategy + design system (Steps 1–3) - •
content.md— All copy: headlines, body, CTAs, microcopy
Reference both during implementation.
Step 1: Discovery
Ask before designing:
- •Goal: Primary purpose of the site?
- •Audience: Who uses it? What do they need?
- •Action: What should visitors do?
Step 2: Content Strategy
Vision
"For [users] who [need], [product] offers [value] — [differentiator]."
Personas (2–4)
| Archetype | Motivation | Pain Points | Site Behavior |
|---|
Voice
- •Tone (friendly/authoritative/playful)
- •Language rules (formal vs casual)
- •Words to use/avoid
Content Model
Map sections — strategy only, not layout or visuals:
| Section | Purpose | Content Type | Priority |
|---|
Principles: Write summaries (no truncation) · Content variants (S/M/L) · Max 5 nav items · Same content on all devices
Step 3: Design System
Tokens
- •Colors: primary, secondary, accent, text, background
- •Typography: heading/body fonts, sizes, line-heights
- •Spacing: 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64px
- •Effects: shadows/elevation if needed
Aesthetic
- •3–4 pillars (e.g., "minimal, warm, playful")
- •Icon/image style, recurring motifs
Principles
- •Consistency across components
- •Maximize signal, minimize chrome
- •No dark patterns
- •Content-based grids (not 12-column)
Step 4: Technical Setup
Stack: Bun + Nuxt + Tailwind

Setup:
- •Prefer
bunwhen installing dependencies. - •Use
bunx nuxi@latest initwith--template minimal --no-modules --packageManager bun --gitInit --forcefor non-interactive setup - •Add modules separately with
bunx nuxi@latest module add - •Run commands from
src/
Auto-import: components/section/Hero.vue → <SectionHero />
Step 5: Implementation
Accessibility + SEO
- •Semantic HTML (
nav,main,article) - •Alt text, keyboard nav, color contrast
- •One
h1, logical heading hierarchy - •Meta descriptions, structured data
Progressive Enhancement
HTML (works alone) → CSS (style) → JS (enhance) → Feature detection
Anti-Patterns
Avoid: carousels · large background images · hover-only info · autoplay media · pagination over scroll · text as images · device detection · JS-dependent core content
