Garrison LeRock Design Blog Platform

Project Overview

The Garrison LeRock Design blog is a content marketing platform designed to [describe purpose — e.g. attract organic traffic, demonstrate technical expertise, and build trust with prospective clients]. Built as a clean front-end with [describe approach — e.g. markdown-based content and static delivery], the site prioritises page speed and search engine visibility above all else.

The Challenge

Garrison LeRock Design needed a blogging presence that [describe the need — e.g. could rank for long-tail keywords, didn't rely on third-party platforms like Medium, and matched Garrison LeRock Design's brand identity]. Existing off-the-shelf platforms [explain the tradeoffs that ruled them out — e.g. added bloat, limited design control, or poor Core Web Vitals scores].

The key constraint was [e.g. the blog needed to be authored easily by a non-developer without a full CMS, yet still support rich formatting, code blocks, and SEO metadata].

The Solution

Garrison LeRock Design built a lightweight front-end blog using [describe the approach — e.g. markdown files with YAML front matter, rendered to HTML at build time]. This keeps the authoring workflow simple while producing fast, well-structured output that search engines love.

A key SEO decision was [e.g. adding JSON-LD structured data to every post, generating canonical URLs, and pre-rendering meta tags server-side] which [explain its impact on search ranking or traffic].
