## 13 · Index-First
|
|
|
|
The page IS a list of links. No hero image, no narrative flow. Pure navigation as design.
|
|
|
|
- **Heading:** one short paragraph at the top introducing the index, no display type.
|
|
- **Body:** vertical list of categorised links; sometimes a sidebar of filters.
|
|
- **Divider:** hairline rules between rows; or zero rules with paper-colour bands.
|
|
- **Button:** the links themselves are the buttons.
|
|
- **Image:** none, or tiny favicons by each entry.
|
|
- **Reveal:** none.
|
|
|
|
Reach for it for documentation hubs, knowledge bases, archive front pages, design system entries, link-in-bio pages with substance.
|
|
|
|
Avoid for marketing pages. Index-First is for browsing audiences; selling needs structure.
|
|
|
|
Reference: Are.na's homepage feel, archive sites, documentation indices.
|
|
|
|
**Sample opening lines** (imitate the *specificity* — Index-First openings are headers for what's below, sometimes nothing more than a label):
|
|
> *"Selected work · 2018 — 2026."* — date range, no preamble
|
|
> *"Things Become Other Things · Lightness above weightiness."* — craigmod.com — two phrases joined by a divider
|
|
> *"Writer + Photographer."* — craigmod.com — three words, summarises the whole site
