Product screenshots in frames are the primary content. The page is a guided tour of the app in use. Less marketing copy, more "here's what you do with it."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Heading:** small, functional — workbench pages don't shout.
|
||
|
|
- **Body:** sequence of screenshot blocks, each with a short caption and an inline annotation arrow.
|
||
|
|
- **Divider:** the screenshot frame *is* the divider; sections separate by gap and frame.
|
||
|
|
- **Button:** sticky-bottom CTA bar after the third screenshot ("Try it →"), once context is built.
|
||
|
|
- **Image:** central — browser/device frames around real product captures, with annotation arrows.
|
||
|
|
- **Reveal:** type-unmask on captions; screenshots load instantly.
|
||
|

Reach for it for SaaS, developer tools, IDE extensions — anywhere seeing the product in motion is the sale.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Avoid when the product is conceptual or services-led. Workbench needs a UI to show.

**Sample opening lines** (imitate the *specificity*, not the wording — the page walks the user through):
|
||
|
|
> *"$ streampipe parse access.log --filter status=5xx | jq"* — open on a real command, not a marketing claim
|
||
|
|
> *"Read anything that emits lines. Files, pipes, sockets, kubectl logs."* — names the inputs, refuses abstraction
|
||
|
|
> *"Open the trace, find the span, fix the regression. No glossary required."* — three concrete verbs, then a refusal
