Flow C: ASCII Layout

Activates when: User chooses to create an ASCII layout


Introduction

Let's create a simple ASCII layout together.

⚠️ Note: ASCII is a last resort - sketches are much better for capturing design intent!

We'll create a basic box-and-text layout to show structure.


Gather Sections

What are the main sections from top to bottom?

Example:

  • Header
  • Hero
  • Features (3 columns)
  • CTA
  • Footer

List sections:

Generate ASCII

Generate ASCII layout:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  [HEADER]                               │
│  Logo | Nav | Contact                   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                         │
│  [HERO SECTION]                         │
│                                         │
│  Headline Goes Here                     │
│  Subheadline text here                  │
│                                         │
│  [CTA Button]                           │
│                                         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

┌───────────┬───────────┬───────────┐
│           │           │           │
│ [Feature] │ [Feature] │ [Feature] │
│     1     │     2     │     3     │
│           │           │           │
│  Icon     │  Icon     │  Icon     │
│  Text     │  Text     │  Text     │
│           │           │           │
└───────────┴───────────┴───────────┘

... (for each section)

Completion

ASCII layout created!

⚠️ Remember: This is a rough structural guide.

Recommended next steps:

  1. Use this ASCII as a reference
  2. Create a proper sketch/wireframe
  3. Upload and run Page Process Workshop

ASCII is helpful for structure, but lacks:

  • Visual hierarchy
  • Spacing and proportions
  • Typography details
  • Color and visual design
  • Actual content flow
