Landing Pages with widget layouts

[choldgraf]

Landing pages serve a different purpose than most other documentation pages, and thus they have a different structure than the content-heavy structure that makes up most MyST sites.

For example, they tend to be more UI-heavy, and have elements like Hero boxes, splash pages, etc. They also often get rid of the left/right sidebars so that users focus on the content and don't get distracted.

A good example of this is the MySTMD landing page itself, which has this "blockier" and UI-heavy structure:

Suggestion

• We document a workflow for landing pages using the building blocks that are already there (e.g. grids, cards, etc) to show off some best practices.
• We create a list of UI components to develop that add different landing page-like functionality (e.g. hero cards, sliding galleries, etc)

Then we could use this as the tracking issue around a "landing page" use-case and chip away at the problem with a combination of new development + documentation.

Inspiration

• The HugoBlocks content blocks section describes many UI elements that make up landing pages.
• The mystmd.org landing page has similar content
