Article Titles
When you're writing a title for a page or section, write a statement instead of a question. Those extra "who/what/why" words aren't necessary, and statements are easier for readers to scan quickly.
Introduction
Include a short one or two-sentence summary about the document to help the reader confirm whether they’re in the right place, and improve search engine indexing.
Example: A Hero block is usually the first thing your visitors see, making it a great spot to get them acquainted with your catchy content. Controlled by a smooth parallax scrolling and featuring a fullscreen background image or video, this is the perfect place to make a great first impression.
Links and additional resources
It’s rare that a document lives on its own. Tell people where to go for help if they have questions and provide a link whenever you’re referring to something on an external website. Use links to point users to relevant content and trusted external resources.
For documentation and guides, you might say:

For Upstairs blog posts and other trusted sources, you might say something like:

- Example 2: We’ve written an in-depth piece on building the website’s footer which comes in handy if you are looking to understand […]
If your work relates to several other documents, pick the most important ones or gather the links in a section at the bottom (e.g., Additional reading section)
If you need to link to other visual elements (images, gifs, videos), introduce those links in a similar fashion as shown below:

Linking instructions:
- When linking to another documentation article, remove the theme name from the URL (if the URL is pixelgrade.com/docs/rosa2/social-networks/… change it to pixelgrade.com/docs/social-networks/…).
- All our blog posts have been moved to the /upstairs/ link, so links that contain /blog/category/ (e.g., pixelgrade.com/blog/culture/transparency-report-5) must be replaced with the new links (e.g., pixelgrade.com/upstairs/transparency-report-5)
