01
The editorial register playbook
The polish layer that defines the top-2% standard. Drop caps, marginalia, mark-as-ornament dividers, breakout pull quotes, refined mobile typography, oldstyle numerics, generous section padding, refined link underlines, hanging punctuation, OpenType feature settings. The CSS layer is reusable across brands — only the accent token changes.
02
The chassis pattern
How to extract head + nav + footer from one canonical page and stamp new pages from a single source. Eliminates the multi-page divergence that breaks every long-running site. Companion: chassis-extraction.sh + page-generator.py.
03
Preview-then-deploy workflow
Ten production deploys shipped in one day without breaking any live site. The pattern: /tmp build via bash heredoc → preview zip → operator review → production zip → flat-root structure → Cloudflare Pages drag-drop. Solves OneDrive sync truncation, Cloudflare flat-zip requirement, and the verification step every team skips.
04
The SEO compliance pack
Full schema coverage (Organization · WebSite + SearchAction · Person · Article · BreadcrumbList · Product · LocalBusiness · ProfessionalService · GeoCoordinates). Hreflang international cluster. RFC 9116 security.txt. humans.txt. AI-bot-transparent robots.txt with explicit GPTBot · ClaudeBot · Google-Extended allows. Sitemap with xhtml:link hreflang alternates. The compliance pack alone is the cost of the Mastery.
05
Regional landing page leverage
Walker Works ships six NSW region pages + five country pages. All Care ships nine suburb pages. Each page is its own inbound surface, schema-marked, hreflang-clustered. The template is reusable in fifteen minutes per page. Companion: regional-page-template.html + country-page-template.html.
06
Content engine setup
Journal architecture, case-study structure, discovery-worksheet pattern. The content surfaces that feed the inbound machinery. Each surface has a documented template, a brand-voice register guide, and a posting cadence rule. Companion: content-engine-templates.zip.
07
The brand voice rulebook
The plain, declarative, Australian-English operator-class register applied across three brands without leaking between them. Words to avoid. Sentence patterns. Disclaimer block variants. The standing-offer triplet for paid products. The rule against credential claims and outcome promises. Companion: brand-voice-rulebook.html.
08
The external execution layer
The site is the foundation. The inbound machinery only switches on once the external execution layer is running: Google Business Profile setup, regional directory submissions, community channels, review collection cadence, content posting calendar. Companion: external-execution-action-plan.html — a 90-day worklist by region/country.
