SAMPLE — What a finished guide looks like

By Jamie Tomlinson Editor — Derby-based, walks and eats his way around Derbyshire most weekends. Published 2 July 2026

This is a sample page proving the guide template: byline above, affiliate disclosure block above this line, prose styling below, newsletter signup at the bottom. Delete src/content/guides/sample-guide.md before launch.

How real guides use this template

Each guide from the backlog is a markdown file in src/content/guides/ with the frontmatter shown in this file. The named author drives the byline (E-E-A-T), hasAffiliateLinks: true renders the disclosure block, and draft: true keeps a piece out of the build until Jamie has reviewed it.

Body conventions

  • Real parking and price detail near the top — it’s the local moat.
  • 2–4 internal links to other guides per piece.
  • Affiliate links marked inline where they appear, e.g. “book via Sykes (affiliate link)”.
  • Anything not personally verified is flagged for Jamie in the draft with [CHECK: …] markers, which must all be resolved before draft: false.
