Homepage image summary (Stitch layout):


WILL'S LAYOUT CLASSES (USE THESE FIRST)

Will Roberts set up CSS classes on the staging site that handle layout, spacing, and responsive behavior automatically. Use these instead of manual Avada builder settings wherever possible.

Layout Type How to Apply What It Does
Hero Add ID hero to the container Full-width hero with overlay, responsive height, centered content
Intro/Subheading Add class introheader Styled heading typography for section intros
Two-Column Add class two-column Split layout, image stacks above text on mobile
Mosaic Add class mosaic Text + 4-image grid, auto-cropped aspect ratios

You do NOT need to manually set: padding values, column widths, mobile breakpoints, or min-heights for sections using these classes. The CSS handles it all. Just add the class/ID, drop in your content and images.

Only set manual Avada values for: colors, background images, button styles, icon choices, and any custom sections not covered by the four classes above.

Staging reference: integrapoo1stg.wpenginepowered.com/new-layouts/ — shows all four layout types in action.


RANK MATH SEO SETTINGS

Set these in the Rank Math panel on the page editor:


SECTION-BY-SECTION BUILD INSTRUCTIONS


SECTION 1: HERO

CSS: #hero (ID assigned by Will)
What it looks like: Full-screen background image with centered white text and two buttons.

Avada Builder steps:

  1. Add a new Container (Section)
  2. Container Settings:
  3. Background > Image > Upload hero-pool-cover-aerial.webp
  4. Background position: Center Center
  5. Background size: Cover
  6. Background overlay: #181C1D at 70% opacity (per Stitch — darker than original)
  7. Min height: 800px (desktop), 70vh (mobile)
  8. Padding: 100px top and bottom (desktop), 60px (mobile)
  9. Content alignment: Center

  10. Inside the container, add a Column > set to 10/12 width, centered (1/12 offset each side)

  11. Add Text Block element:

  12. Content: <h1>Automatic Pool Safety Covers Built to the Highest Standard</h1>
  13. Design tab > Font color: #FFFFFF
  14. Font family: Urbanist (mapped from Stitch's Plus Jakarta Sans)
  15. Font size: 52px desktop / 34px mobile
  16. Font weight: 700
  17. Text align: Center
  18. Line height: tight (1.1)
  19. Margin bottom: 24px
  20. Animation: Fade In from Bottom, 0.3s delay

  21. Add Text Block element:

  22. Content: <p>ASTM F1346 certified. All-stainless steel mechanisms. 20-year warranty. The automatic pool cover that pool professionals trust and homeowners ask for by name.</p>
  23. Font color: rgba(255,255,255,0.9)
  24. Font family: Sophia Pro
  25. Font size: 20px desktop / 16px mobile
  26. Text align: Center
  27. Max width: 640px, centered
  28. Margin bottom: 40px
  29. Animation: Fade In from Bottom, 0.5s delay

  30. Add Button element:

  33. Background: #0057B7
  34. Text color: #FFFFFF
  35. Size: Large
  36. Border radius: 12px (Stitch uses rounded-xl)
  37. Padding: 16px 32px
  38. Font weight: 600

  47. Size: Large
  48. Border radius: 12px

NOTE: The alt hero options (hero-bear-on-cover-alt.webp or hero-aerial-stone-patio-alt.webp) can be swapped in here if preferred. The bear shot is iconic and demonstrates safety — strong argument for using it. The stone patio aerial is the most visually striking. Your call.


SECTION 2: WHAT AN INTEGRA COVER DOES (INTRO + FEATURE CARDS)

STITCH CHANGE: The original build guide had a separate Trust Bar (Section 2), Intro Headline (Section 3), and Feature Cards (Section 4). The Stitch merges the intro and cards into one section and drops the Trust Bar entirely. The trust points (ASTM, stainless steel, warranty, Made in USA) are covered by the feature cards and the "What Sets Integra Apart" section instead.

CSS: introheader class on the heading area
What it looks like: Left-aligned heading + subhead, then 4 feature cards in a grid below.

Image: None (icon-based cards)

  1. Add Container
  2. Background: #FFFFFF
  3. Padding: 96px top and bottom (Stitch uses py-24)

  4. Heading area — full-width column, max-width 768px (not centered — left-aligned per Stitch):

a. Text Block:
- <h2>One Cover. Four Things It Does Every Day.</h2>
- Color: #25282A (on-surface, near-black — Stitch departure from navy)
- Font family: Urbanist
- Font size: 36px
- Text align: Left
- Margin bottom: 16px

b. Text Block:
- Every Integra automatic pool cover activates with a single switch and immediately begins doing four jobs at once.
- Color: #5C5F61 (secondary gray)
- Font family: Sophia Pro
- Font size: 18px
- Text align: Left
- Margin bottom: 64px

  1. 4-column grid (equal widths, 32px gap)

  2. Each column gets:

a. Container styling:
- Background: #F1F4F4 (surface-container-low)
- Border radius: 12px
- Padding: 32px
- Hover: background shifts to #E5E9E9

b. Icon element:
- Col 1: shield (Material Symbols) or fa-shield-alt
- Col 2: thermostat (Material Symbols) or fa-sun
- Col 3: eco (Material Symbols) or fa-tint
- Col 4: cleaning_services (Material Symbols) or fa-check-circle
- Icon color: #00408B (primary)
- Icon size: 36px
- Margin bottom: 24px

c. Text Block:
Col 1: <h3>A Barrier Your Family Can Count On</h3> Col 2: <h3>Swim in March. Swim in October.</h3> Col 3: <h3>Fewer Chemicals. Less Evaporation.</h3> Col 4: <h3>Ready to Swim, Every Time You Open It</h3>
- H3 font: Urbanist, bold, 20px
- Color: #25282A
- Text align: Left (Stitch is left-aligned, not centered)
- Margin bottom: 12px

d. Text Block with paragraph copy:
```
Col 1: ASTM F1346 certified, supports 485+ lbs, locks at both end tracks for maximum child safety.

  Col 2: Reduces heat loss 50-70%, allowing you to extend your pool season by weeks earlier and later.

  Col 3: 90% evaporation reduction and 35-60% chemical savings, keeping maintenance costs low.

  Col 4: Keep leaves and debris out of your pool. No skimming needed before your morning swim.
  ```
  - Font size: `15px`
  - Color: `#5C5F61`
  - Text align: Left
  - Line height: relaxed (1.625)

NOTE: The Stitch condensed the feature card body copy significantly vs. the original build guide. The original had full paragraphs (3-4 sentences each). The Stitch versions are 1-2 sentences. The condensed versions are better for scanability — use them.

Mobile: Stack to 1 column, then 2-column grid at tablet.


SECTION 3: WHAT SETS INTEGRA APART

STITCH CHANGE: The original build guide had this as a dark navy 2-column section with mechanism image. The Stitch redesigns it as a 3-column layout on light gray with accent bars — no image. The mechanism image can still be used here if Will wants to add it, but the Stitch doesn't include it.

CSS: two-column class (though it's actually 3-column in the Stitch)
What it looks like: Left-aligned heading + subhead, then 3 columns with accent bars, headlines, and body text.

  1. Add Container
  2. Background: #F1F4F4 (light gray, surface-container-low)
  3. Padding: 96px top and bottom

  4. Heading area — full-width, left-aligned:

a. Text Block:
- <h2>What Sets Integra Apart</h2>
- Color: #25282A
- Font family: Urbanist
- Font size: 36px
- Margin bottom: 16px

b. Text Block:
- Not every automatic pool cover is built the same. The mechanism is what lasts — or doesn't.
- Color: #5C5F61
- Font size: 18px
- Max width: 640px
- Margin bottom: 64px

  1. 3-column row (equal widths, 48px gap)

  2. Each column:

a. Separator/Divider element:
- Height: 4px (Stitch: h-1)
- Width: 48px (Stitch: w-12)
- Color: #00408B (primary)
- Margin bottom: 16px

b. Text Block:
Col 1: <h3>All Stainless Steel Mechanisms</h3> Col 2: <h3>ASTM F1346 Certified</h3> Col 3: <h3>Aegis™ Premium Fabrics</h3>
- Font: Urbanist, bold, 24px
- Color: #25282A
- Margin bottom: 16px

c. Text Block:
```
Col 1: Our 20-year warranty is backed by structural integrity. Unlike aluminum competitors, our stainless steel resists corrosion in harsh pool environments.

  Col 2: Rigorous testing ensures we meet the gold standard for safety. Supports 485+ lbs with no gaps and integrated safe drainage systems.

  Col 3: 7-Year Warranty on heat-sealed webbing. Available in 7 designer colors, our fabrics are engineered for UV and chemical resistance.
  ```
  - Font size: `16px`
  - Color: `#5C5F61`
  - Line height: relaxed

OPTIONAL: Add mechanism-closeup.webp as a fourth element spanning below the 3 columns, or as a background accent. The Stitch doesn't use it here, but it's available.


SECTION 4: INTEGRA IN ACTION (VIDEO)

NEW SECTION — not in the original build guide. The Stitch adds a video embed section using the brand tagline "Cover and Uncover the Possibilities."

What it looks like: Centered heading, 16:9 video embed with play button overlay, supporting text below.

  1. Add Container
  2. Background: #FFFFFF
  3. Padding: 96px top and bottom

  4. Heading row — centered:

  5. <h2>Cover and Uncover the Possibilities.</h2>
  6. Color: #25282A
  7. Font family: Urbanist
  8. Font size: 36px
  9. Text align: Center
  10. Margin bottom: 64px

  11. Video embed area:

  12. Use Avada Video element or embed container
  13. Aspect ratio: 16:9
  14. Border radius: 16px (Stitch: rounded-2xl)
  15. Box shadow: xl
  16. Margin bottom: 32px
  17. Content dependency: Need actual video URL from Integra (43-second product demo)
  18. Placeholder: gray box with play button if video not ready

  19. Text area below video — centered, max-width 768px:

a. Text Block (overline label):
- Product Demonstration
- Color: #00408B (primary)
- Font size: 12px
- Text transform: uppercase

- Font family: Urbanist
- Font size: 20px
- Color: #25282A
- Text align: Center
- Margin bottom: 24px

c. Text Block:
- Experience the ultimate convenience of automation. Manual covers are cumbersome and often left off. With Integra, safety is just a switch away, ensuring your pool is protected every time you step inside.
- Font family: Sophia Pro
- Color: #5C5F61
- Font size: 16px
- Text align: Center
- Line height: relaxed


SECTION 5: DUAL AUDIENCE SPLIT

SECTION 7: FAQ PREVIEW

STITCH CHANGE: The original had a 2-column layout with 5 FAQ links on the left and a lifestyle image on the right. The Stitch simplifies this to a centered accordion with 3 questions and no image.
