Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### Overview One repair question splits into a short workshop route and a longer home-visit route, then rejoins at a shared promise. ### The signature moment: one question opens into two unequal routes A common stem meets the crossbar above two large numbered landings. The first branch is a short, bounded stop. The second sits farther down its own heavy left edge and explains the extra help a home visit brings. Both branches meet a common assurance across the foot. Numbered labels keep their order when the columns stack. Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### Display type The question and route titles follow the theme heading ladder. The numbered branch markers are 48px to 80px display paragraphs; the stem label and shared promise are 15px. Explanatory copy follows the medium rung. Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### Theme inheritance The Core payload follows the theme’s base ground, contrast ink, heading face and button treatment. Its painter lets heading and link colour follow a recolour. Text is intended for 4.5:1 contrast, with 3:1 reserved for large display type. ### Styled look Salt #F5F5EB, deep green #233029 and basil #315D45, set in Arial with square basil actions and restrained utility labels. Every action is deliberately filled or underlined. The Core payload preserves the same layout as the theme route. ### Editing Change both service routes, the practical requirements and their action destinations. Keep the short route concise and use the longer route for the extra guidance buyers need. Questions ## Comparison service fork: common questions Does Comparison service fork need a plugin? No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, column, columns, group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install. Will Comparison service fork match my theme? Choose by variation. Theme takes your theme’s palette; Salt and basil brings its own colours. How many variations does Comparison service fork have? 2: Theme and Salt and basil. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy. Is Comparison service fork free? It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one. Which WordPress version does it need? Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type. 8.8KB of core-block markup, 7 blocks (button, buttons, column, columns, group, heading, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.

The third card is inverted as the most given gift, and a note under the cards carries the charity number, Gift Aid and a link to give another amount. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/donate-impact-tiers.html)Tables Compare matrix A capability matrix in a core table: one row per capability, one column for each of the two plans people choose between, and a mark in every cell, with a third plan named in one line under the table instead of a fourth column that would ladder its row headers on a phone. The recommended column is announced by a two-pixel bracket that stands over it and hands off to the table's own hairlines, so nothing is filled and nothing is coloured. Three fixed columns hold roughly 117 pixels each at 390. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/compare-matrix.html)Features Appointment letter checklist What to bring to a first appointment, set as the confirmation letter itself: a card with the booking's details written into ruled blanks (date, time, who, where, length and fee) and a checklist of empty squares to tick the night before, beside a short introduction. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/appointment-letter-checklist.html) #### Before you paste Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1.
