## 06 · Conversational FAQ
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Bold questions, brief answers. The page reads like an honest interview with the product. Often each Q/A is a collapsible accordion.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Heading:** each section *is* a question — a short, direct phrase ending in `?`.
|
|||
|
|
- **Body:** answer in 2–4 short paragraphs immediately below the question.
|
|||
|
|
- **Divider:** thin rule between Q/A pairs, or zero rule and a paper-colour swap.
|
|||
|
|
- **Button:** typographic link inside answers ("Read the full policy →"); one outlined CTA at the foot.
|
|||
|
|
- **Image:** sparse — maybe one diagram per long answer; mostly text.
|
|||
|
|
- **Reveal:** none on load; accordion expand uses 200 ms `--ease-out` on `grid-template-rows: 0fr → 1fr`.

Reach for it near pricing, for products that meet skepticism, for educational/regulated industries.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Avoid as the *primary* page. FAQ usually pairs with another macrostructure that opens the page.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Reference: many SaaS pricing pages, Casper, Substack help pages.

**Sample opening lines** (imitate the *specificity* — questions are real questions, answers are short and concrete):
|
|||
|
|
> *"What is this for? — A single-binary CLI for parsing log streams from stdin."* — names the form factor, names the input
|
|||
|
|
> *"How is this different from X? — It's about time."* — cron.com — answers obliquely, with a phrase that has weight
|
|||
|
|
> *"Who built this? — Three of us, in Lisbon, since 2014."* — date + place + count, no marketing
