Site design explorations

Five placeholder design directions for the publisher and ad-ops transparency site sketched in docs/EXPLORATION.md. Each is a stub — enough to compare tone, density, and hierarchy, not to ship.

  • 1. Transparency Index

    The recommended wedge: a daily-diffed ads.txt / sellers.json / app-ads.txt index with per-domain pages. Dense, monospace, data-first.

  • 2. Tools Hub

    A grid of free, single-purpose tools — RPM calculator, Lighthouse runner, AI-crawler robots.txt builder. Utility-first, calculator-clean.

  • 3. Editorial

    Plain-English explainers for independent publishers, in a magazine-style layout. Serif headlines, generous whitespace, warm neutrals.

  • 4. Developer Docs

    A reference site for Prebid, IAB specs, and ad-tech integrations, in the Stripe / Vercel docs idiom: persistent sidebar, dark-on-light content, code-forward.

  • 5. Vendor Directory

    A filterable map of ad-tech vendors — a working LUMAscape replacement. Filter chips on top, structured cards below.

Placeholder designs. None of the data on the linked pages is real.
