If you've ever rebuilt the same advertorial from scratch, you know the pain. The modular approach lets you grab the exact block you need, slot it into place, and move on.

GlowFlow is our proof point: we composed a hero block, product highlights, and testimonials in under an hour—all from the same reusable pieces shown below.

Why Modular Stories Work

Collage of layout options

Instead of copying entire articles, teams assemble narratives block by block. Each piece handles a specific job—from credibility to conversion—so you can remix as needed.

What Every Block Needs

Clear primary message - Every block should stand alone.
Visual support (optional) - Use imagery to reinforce complicated ideas.
Convertible CTA - Buttons or links that adapt to any template.

Different campaigns need different shapes. Swap blocks to match the audience without rewriting the fundamentals every time.

How The Builder Fits Pieces Together

The builder maps each block to the correct slot inside the template. That keeps the exported HTML clean while preserving your editorial flow.

Why the Deep-Dive Layout Sometimes Comes Second

Deep dive product

Where it excels: when you need to walk readers through a complex science story or product roadmap with layered visuals.

Watch out for: dense sections can overwhelm mobile readers—break them with text-only blocks or pull quotes.

Where the Testimonial Stack Shines

Testimonial layout

Where it excels: rapid social proof, especially if you have before/after photos and short quotes.

Watch out for: repetitive testimonials feel mechanical. Vary the block order with text sections in between.

Frequently Asked Questions

"Can I rearrange blocks freely?"

Yes. Blocks are drag-and-drop. The preview updates instantly so you can spot awkward transitions.

"Do I have to use every section?"

You can remove sections, but the validator will flag required ones so you know what to add back before exporting final HTML.
