Text Before HTML:
We are creating a tech news blog article layout inspired by The Verge. We'll use Tailwind CSS and focus on a clean, modern design with a good reading experience.
Key elements from The Verge's article pages:
- A prominent header with the site logo and navigation.
- A main article section with a featured image, headline, author, date, and the article content.
- A sidebar for related content or ads (though we'll focus on the article itself).
- A comments section at the end.
We'll design a single article page with:
1. Header: Logo, navigation, and social links.
2. Hero section: Featured image, headline, author, date, and category.
3. Article content: Well-formatted text with images, blockquotes, and code snippets.
4. Footer: Copyright and links.
We'll use a color scheme that is tech-oriented: dark background for the header and footer, light for the content, with an accent color (like blue or green) for links and highlights.
Let's choose:
- Primary color: #3B82F6 (a vibrant blue for tech)
- Backgrounds:
- Header/Footer: dark gray (bg-gray-900)
- Content: white (bg-white)
- Text:
- Dark for content: gray-900
- Light for header/footer: gray-100
We'll structure the page as:
... meta, title, Tailwind CDN, and custom styles ...
Technology
Article Headline
Author Name
Date and read time
... article content with paragraphs, images, blockquotes, etc. ...
We'll add some custom styles for the article content to make it more readable.
Note: We are using Tailwind's `prose` class to style the article content. We can customize it further.
Let's code accordingly.
