Relates to Linear LSA-113 (design: wordpress-page - Build WordPress page). This adds the first six shared Solutions section patterns; the remaining sections and page content are still to come, so it does not close the issue.

Stack

Design Overview

The Solutions pages share one set of sections. This adds the first six as reusable ls-theme patterns, built from the Design Systems frames (light and dark) and added to the WordPress Solutions test page.

  • Hero - Split At a Glance (patterns/hero/hero-split-glance.php): breadcrumb, icon-tile eyebrow, H1, lede, two CTAs and an "At a glance" card (an aside with an H2 and a semantic dl of four rows, label 35% / value 65%).
  • Section - Stats Row Left-aligned (patterns/sections/stats-row-left.php): four left-aligned stats with dividers on a surface.card band. Reuses the Stats Bar ls-stats-row / ls-stat-item classes, so its responsive 2x2 grid applies. section-stats-bar is unchanged.
  • Section - Split Intro Text (patterns/sections/split-intro-text.php): dot eyebrow and H2 beside one paragraph.
  • Section - Solutions Case Study (patterns/sections/solutions-case-study.php): query-driven featured case study (image left, copy right). Image, title, excerpt, tags and the read-more link are real post blocks. The quote and its attribution are editable blocks, because projects have no per-post quote field to query.
  • Section - Split Copy Checklist Card (patterns/sections/split-copy-checklist-card.php): eyebrow, H2 and paragraph beside a card (capped at 650px) of four check rows, 50/50 split.
  • Section - Split Header Icon Card Grid (patterns/sections/split-header-icon-card-grid.php): split header above six equal-height icon cards; titles clamp to 2 lines and descriptions to 5 with an ellipsis.

Deviations from the Figma frames, all using existing tokens:

  • Dark-mode brand colour renders the sitewide text.brand value (#00FCFC), not Figma's #7be7ff, which is not in the palette.
  • Buttons use the theme's shared button style, not Figma's full pills.
  • ls-corner-glow has two glows (blue and cyan); Figma shows one.
  • Dark-mode cards use surface.canvas/surface.card, which differ slightly from Figma's dark card colour.

Design Files / References

Figma: LightSpeedWP Design System

  • Light: nodes 8155:160420, 8155:160479, 8155:160502, 8155:160512, 8155:160545, 8155:160585
  • Dark: nodes 8155:163251, 8155:163310, 8155:163333, 8155:163343, 8155:163377, 8155:163417

Copy comes from the Figma frames. It has not been checked against the content doc yet.

Changes

  • Patterns: the six patterns above. Block gaps are used for spacing between elements (no spacing margins), icons use the core Icon block with the lightspeed/* collection, and all text is 16px or larger except eyebrow and label text at font size token 100.
  • Tokens: existing semantic tokens only; no new tokens or is-style variants. Icon tile backgrounds use a 12% color-mix tint of text.brand, so they follow the icon colour in both modes (the previous surface.brand-light mapped to navy in dark mode).
  • Solutions case study query: inc/solutions-case-study-query.php filters the case-study Query Loop (front end and editor preview) to the project tagged in project-tag with the Solutions page's slug. A page with no tagged project shows nothing. It is separate from the existing service case-study filter, which is untouched.
  • SCSS: solutions-case-study.scss (mobile image corners, tag pill overrides, image crop anchor, CTA arrow and hover/focus) and split-header-icon-card-grid.scss (equal row heights and line clamping), each with // JSON limitation: comments, compiled to assets/css/.
  • Wiring: package.json (three sass scripts), inc/animations.php (marker classes and conditional bundles), functions.php (require and editor styles).
  • Backwards compatibility: no existing patterns, styles or service-page files were modified.

Not covered

  • The remaining Solutions sections (related services, receive/who, CTA, FAQ) and the page content pass.
  • Replacing the placeholder case-study quote and attribution on each page.

Accessibility

  • WCAG 2.2 AA compliance verified
  • Keyboard navigation tested
  • Colour contrast sufficient (4.5:1 minimum)
  • Semantic HTML used appropriately
  • Screen reader tested (if applicable)

Notes:

  • Contrast was computed for the key text pairs: brand text on the card and canvas surfaces is 5.06:1 and 5.34:1 in light mode and 13.8:1 in dark mode; muted text is 7.7:1 in light mode and 8.95:1 in dark mode. text.subtle on surface.card is 4.50:1, which only just passes. This was not a full audit of every pair.
  • Heading order is H1 in the hero and H2/H3 below; the "At a glance" card is an aside with a dl.
  • Focus-visible and hover states for the case-study CTA were added in CSS but were not exercised in a browser.

Testing

  • Visual testing completed (desktop/tablet/mobile)
  • Component variations tested
  • Browser compatibility verified
  • No regressions in existing design

Verified on the local test page /solutions/wordpress/ in a real browser at 1024px, 1280px and 1440px wide, in light mode and in dark mode for the icon tiles and cards. A single-page Playwright run on that page (standing specs plus the mobile-menu spec, across chromium, webkit, Mobile Chrome, Mobile Safari and Tablet) was run on the stacked branch for the next PR. It found a 320px horizontal overflow on the stats row from this PR's stats-row-left pattern and a row-spacing issue in split-copy-checklist-card; both are fixed in the stacked PR. The Site Editor has not been checked.

Checks run: php -l on every changed PHP file, phpcs on the changed inc/ files and functions.php, npm run schema:validate, npm run lint:json, npm run security:scan, npm run patterns:escape and npm run build:css (no diff afterwards). patterns:escape flags the wp_json_encode line in the case-study pattern; this is the known false positive, and older Blog and Work patterns trigger the same warning. npm run theme:validate finishes with its existing warnings.

CodeRabbit's four review comments were validated against the code. The indentation errors (the PHP Code Quality failure), the color-mix() icon backgrounds and the editor query filter's tax_query handling were fixed in the follow-up commit; the 5-line description clamp was kept as requested.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added six reusable page patterns: a split-layout introduction, statistics row, checklist card, icon-card grid, hero with an “At a glance” panel and two calls to action, and featured case study.
    • Solutions pages now show a case study matched to the page’s project tag, with responsive imagery, project tags, and accessible read-more interactions.
    • Icon-card grids now have consistent row heights and clamp titles and descriptions to keep card layouts tidy.

… split intro

New patterns
- hero/hero-split-glance: breadcrumb, icon-tile eyebrow, H1, lede, CTAs and an "At a glance" aside (semantic dl)
- sections/stats-row-left: four left-aligned proof-point stats on a surface.card band
- sections/split-intro-text: dot eyebrow + H2 (42%) beside a single paragraph (58%)

Reuse
- Hero reuses the shared ls-corner-glow background class and the core button styles
- Stats row reuses the ls-stats-row / ls-stat-item classes (Stats Bar's responsive 2x2 grid applies); section-stats-bar is untouched
- Icons use the core Icon block with lightspeed/cube and lightspeed/dot

Tokens
- Existing semantic tokens only (text.brand, text.muted, text.subtle, surface.card, border.card, surface.brand-light)
- Font sizes 700 / 600 / 300 / 200 / 100; no new tokens, styles or SCSS

Known gaps
- At-a-glance label column width is not enforced (needs a small SCSS partial if wanted)
- Dark-mode brand colour renders #00FCFC rather than Figma's #7be7ff
- Primary/outline buttons use the theme's shared style, not Figma's pills
Intro pattern (split-intro-text)
- Column gap raised from spacing 60 to spacing 90 (about 56px at desktop widths)
- Top and bottom section padding raised from spacing 90 to spacing 100 (about 64px at desktop widths)

Context
- Spacing tokens only, no new tokens, SCSS or styles
- Brings the section closer to the prototype's breathing room
- No other patterns touched
…4-6)

New patterns
- sections/solutions-case-study: query-driven featured case study card (image left, copy right)
- sections/split-copy-checklist-card: eyebrow, H2 and paragraph beside a card of four check rows
- sections/split-header-icon-card-grid: split header above a responsive grid of six icon cards

Solutions case study card
- Own query filter in inc/solutions-case-study-query.php, matching the project-tag term to the /solutions/{slug}/ page slug
- Own SCSS bundle for the mobile image-corner fix, tag pill overrides, top-anchored image crop and outlined CTA arrow
- Pill separator hidden so horizontal and vertical gaps match
- Quote and attribution are editable per-page blocks (projects have no per-post quote field)

Wiring
- functions.php: require the new query filter and add the editor stylesheet
- inc/animations.php: marker class and conditional bundle for solutions-case-study
- package.json: add the new stylesheet to the three sass scripts
- Compiled assets/css/solutions-case-study.css

Context
- Existing service case-study files are untouched
- Existing semantic tokens only, no new tokens
- Pattern cache must be cleared after the file rename before the new patterns show in the inserter

…on Card Grid

Icon card grid
- All six cards share one height: grid-auto-rows 1fr on the card grid
- Card titles clamp to 2 lines and descriptions to 5 with an ellipsis, matching the Blog and Work card approach
- Check icon increased from 18px to 20px
- Pattern description updated to describe the equal heights and clamping

Wiring
- New src/scss/structural/split-header-icon-card-grid.scss with JSON limitation comments
- Compiled assets/css/split-header-icon-card-grid.css
- package.json: add the new stylesheet to the three sass scripts
- inc/animations.php: marker classes and conditional bundle (split-icon-cards)
- functions.php: add the editor stylesheet

Context
- Existing semantic tokens only, no new tokens
- Bundle key kept short so the array arrows stay aligned for phpcs
Bug fix
- Icon tiles and wells used surface.brand-light, which maps to navy blue in dark mode while the icons switch to cyan
- Replaced with a 12% tint of text.brand via color-mix, so the background always matches the icon colour in both modes

Updated patterns
- hero/hero-split-glance: eyebrow icon tile
- sections/split-copy-checklist-card: four check ticks
- sections/split-header-icon-card-grid: six icon wells

Updated styles
- solutions-case-study.scss: CTA hover fill uses the same tint
- Recompiled assets/css/solutions-case-study.css

Context
- Same color-mix tint approach as the phase-accent icon cards, so no new tokens needed
- All other icons on the branch already use text.brand and are mode-aware

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds six Solutions page patterns, a case-study query filter for front-end and qualifying editor queries, and styles for the case-study card and icon-card grid. It also connects the stylesheets to build scripts, editor styles, and conditional stylesheet loading.

Changes

Solutions Page Patterns

Layer / File(s) Summary
Page patterns
patterns/hero/hero-split-glance.php, patterns/sections/stats-row-left.php, patterns/sections/split-intro-text.php, patterns/sections/split-copy-checklist-card.php, patterns/sections/split-header-icon-card-grid.php, src/scss/structural/split-header-icon-card-grid.scss, assets/css/split-header-icon-card-grid.css
Adds five patterns: a split-glance hero, statistics row, split intro, checklist card, and icon-card grid. The grid stylesheet sets equal row sizing and clamps card titles and text.
Case-study pattern and query filtering
inc/solutions-case-study-query.php, patterns/sections/solutions-case-study.php, functions.php
Adds a case-study pattern and filters its front-end Query Loop and qualifying editor REST queries by the project tag matching the Solutions page slug. When a taxonomy constraint already exists, the filter combines it with the case-study constraint using AND.
Stylesheet build and loading integration
src/scss/structural/solutions-case-study.scss, assets/css/solutions-case-study.css, functions.php, inc/animations.php, package.json, CHANGELOG.md
Adds case-study image, tag, and link styles. Adds both stylesheets to build scripts, editor styles, and conditional loading. Extends existing stylesheet conditions to include Solutions pages. The changelog records the patterns and integration.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 66d87

Editing the hero or checklist may lose its background tint, and a service case-study block can show an editor preview that disappears on the published page. These localized editing and preview issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @inc/solutions-case-study-query.php:
- Line 109: Restrict the query override at the `array_merge` call to requests
carrying a pattern-specific parameter, so ordinary editor project requests
remain unchanged. When applying it, preserve the REST controller’s existing
query constraints, including `tax_query`, rather than replacing them with the
case-study arguments.

Review comments at @patterns/hero/hero-split-glance.php:
- Line 108: Correct the scope indentation of the `if` inside the `foreach` in
`patterns/hero/hero-split-glance.php` at line 108,
`patterns/sections/stats-row-left.php` at line 41, and
`patterns/sections/split-copy-checklist-card.php` at line 77. Align each `if`
with the required indentation for its enclosing loop.
- Line 54: Replace the inline background color in the group block with the
shared ls-solutions-icon-well class, preserving each block’s border and spacing
settings. In patterns/hero/hero-split-glance.php lines 54-54,
patterns/sections/split-copy-checklist-card.php lines 87-87, and
patterns/sections/split-header-icon-card-grid.php lines 86-86, make this class
change; preserve spacing|5 in the checklist card and spacing|10 in the other
patterns. Add the specified background-color rule to a stylesheet loaded in both
the editor and frontend, then compile it.

Review comments at @src/scss/structural/split-header-icon-card-grid.scss:
- Around line 31-33: Remove the five-line clamp from the `.ls-icon-card__text`
rule so descriptions remain fully visible, including content beyond five
rendered lines; retain other styling unless needed to prevent the text from
being clipped.

Bug fix
- Correct scope indentation of the if inside the foreach in hero-split-glance, stats-row-left and split-copy-checklist-card (phpcs ScopeIndent)

Icon wells
- Icon card grid wells reuse the shared ls-icon-well-brand class instead of an inline color-mix background, which WordPress strips for users without unfiltered HTML

Solutions case study query
- Merge the case-study tax_query with any existing tax_query using AND instead of replacing it (front end and editor preview)
- Extract the editor referer lookup into a helper

Stylesheet loading
- Add ls_theme_is_solutions_page() and use it as the head-time condition for the stats-bar, solutions-case-study, split-icon-cards and work-archive-sections bundles

Context
- Line clamp on icon card descriptions kept as requested
- Hero tile and checklist ticks stay inline, matching other patterns
