A field guide for information that wants to move

Traditional formats,
reimagined as sites.

A single page can turn a static business document into an experience people can explore, act on, and return to.

Explore the formats

From a deck to a portal, the medium changes the conversation.

12 examples

The translation table

12 practical
use cases.

01

Slide deck

Narrative website

Break the 16:9 frame with nonlinear exploration and embedded interactive features.

02

Strategy memo

Strategy site

Layer context, evidence, objections, and actions so each role can find what it needs.

03

Research report

Research hub

Turn a dense PDF into a navigable resource with sources, categories, and clear paths onward.

04

Spreadsheet

Data site

Replace tangled tabs and formulas with guided filters, dashboards, and a better user experience.

05

Sales proposal

Proposal microsite

Bring in ROI calculators or pricing toggles—and see what a prospect actually reads.

06

Client update

Client portal

One dependable URL for status, milestones, and deliverables—without the scattered-email failure mode.

07

Project brief

Project homepage

Create a living source of truth for changing goals, context, and decisions.

08

Case study

Interactive case page

Go beyond a logo and two paragraphs with rich media, video, and deep-dive metrics.

09

Training doc

Dynamic learning site

Build a focused learning environment for a program, launch, or onboarding moment.

10

Employee handbook

Living handbook site

Replace the dusty PDF with a searchable resource that can update the moment policy changes.

11

Board materials

Board portal

Separate essential reading from backup data so directors can choose their depth.

12

Investor update

Investor page

Use live API metrics in place of monthly snapshots and stop rebuilding one-off requests.

Make the medium work harder

Design patterns
that matter.

01

Layered navigation

Design for dynamic consumption: an executive can absorb the summary while an analyst can move straight to evidence.

02

Native actionability

Don’t simply report information. Put the next action—approve, schedule, review—inside the artifact.

03

Modular construction

Build reusable sections. A proposal module today can become part of a client portal tomorrow.

04

Designed for agents

Structured HTML is more readable and durable for AI agents than messy PDFs or static slides.

The simple test

Use a site when the
information needs to live.

01 It needs to evolve.

02 You need to track engagement.

03 Your audience has different needs.
