01 / Purpose
Structure is an editorial decision.
A layout is already making an argument before anyone reads a complete sentence. Scale suggests importance. Proximity suggests a relationship. An empty interval can separate two ideas more clearly than another heading. This journal examines those decisions as part of the writing.
The examples here are original teaching sketches. They are deliberately small so that the relationship under discussion remains visible. They are not product demonstrations or claims about a particular tool.
02 / Independence
The name describes a supporting structure.
A gantry carries and positions other things. We use that architectural idea as a metaphor for the supporting structure of a webpage. The domain and publication name do not indicate official affiliation with any existing Gantry software framework, company, or product.
This is an independent editorial resource. It does not provide framework documentation, release information, downloads, technical support, or compatibility promises.
03 / Approach
Observe the page in use.
Our starting point is a reader with a question. We look for the moment that question becomes answerable, the places where the sequence breaks down, and the details that compete with the main thought. Those observations become sketches and practical review prompts.
The goal is not a universal visual style. A small reference page and an expressive magazine can both read well. What matters is whether the composition helps the particular material become understandable.
04 / Use
Bring the method to your own material.
Use the guide with a real draft, a printed page, or a rough wireframe. Keep your first pass inexpensive. A pen, a text file, and an honest reading can uncover a structural issue before a detailed design makes it harder to change.
Treat the suggestions as questions to test. The right line length, section length, and amount of contrast depend on the content, the audience, and the conditions in which the page will be read.
