Technical Implementation
Tech Stack
Frontend:
- HTML5
- CSS3 (with CSS Grid and Flexbox)
- Vanilla JavaScript (no framework needed for MVP)
- Optional: Alpine.js for interactivity
Hosting:
- Option A: Railway (same as backend)
- Option B: GitHub Pages (static)
- Option C: Cloudflare Pages
Recommended: Railway for unified deployment
Build Process
Simple approach:
- No build step needed for Phase 1
- Direct HTML/CSS/JS
- Minify before deploy (optional)
Future (Phase 2):
- Add Vite for bundling
- Add Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling
- Add TypeScript for type safety
Deployment
Via Railway:
- Create static site service in Railway
- Point to
/landingdirectory - Configure custom domain:
blackroad.systems - Deploy on push to main
Via GitHub Pages:
- Create
gh-pagesbranch - Copy landing page files
- Configure custom domain CNAME
- Deploy via GitHub Actions
Performance
Optimization checklist:
- Compress images (WebP format)
- Minify CSS/JS
- Enable Cloudflare caching
- Lazy load images
- Use CDN for assets
- Implement service worker (optional)
Target metrics:
- Lighthouse score: 90+
- First Contentful Paint: < 1.5s
- Time to Interactive: < 3s
Content Guidelines
Voice & Tone
Voice:
- Confident but not arrogant
- Technical but accessible
- Future-focused but practical
- Authoritative but friendly
Tone Examples:
Good:
- "Where AI meets the open road"
- "200+ agents. Zero black boxes."
- "Humans orchestrate. Agents execute."
Avoid:
- "Revolutionary AI platform" (too generic)
- "Cutting-edge machine learning" (too buzzwordy)
- "Industry-leading solution" (meaningless)
Copywriting Principles
-
Lead with benefits, not features
- Not: "We have 200 agents"
- Instead: "Deploy 200 agents that work together autonomously"
-
Use concrete numbers
- Not: "Fast deployment"
- Instead: "Deploy in under 5 minutes"
-
Show, don't tell
- Not: "Easy to use"
- Instead: "One command to deploy:
railway up"
-
Address objections directly
- Pain point → Solution → Proof
