Density without noise.

Six entry points above the fold without feeling crowded. A weighted grid gives the lead story room while keeping the rest of the day visible underneath it.

The front page is weighted rather than uniform. The lead story gets three times the area of the fifth story, which is roughly the ratio a print front page has used for a century.

Editors can promote a story without touching the layout. Weight is a field on the post, and the grid rearranges itself around whatever is currently heaviest.

It is the only magazine layout I have not had to fight.

WHAT YOU GET

A front page that changes hourly.

Weighted front page

Story weight is a field, not a template. Promote a piece and the grid reflows around it.

Live updating stories

Running stories carry timestamped updates that appear newest first without republishing the article.

Section fronts

Each desk gets a front page of its own using the same weighting rules as the main one.

Multiple bylines

Shared credit with per-contributor roles, and an author archive that understands co-authored work.

Breaking bar

A dismissible strip above the masthead that expires on a schedule instead of waiting to be removed.
