The rule

A content block needs clear rules.

These rules define its use and structure. This helps ensure the block is used correctly and effectively.

A developer should define the purpose of each content block. This explains why the block exists. It also describes the job the block does. The developer must list required fields. These fields must be present. Without them, the block is invalid. Optional fields can also be listed. These fields improve the block. However, they are not mandatory. Word limits are important. They set minimum and maximum word counts. These are strict rules, not suggestions. Mobile layout rules define how the block looks on small screens. Desktop layout rules define how it looks on large screens. The developer should note if the block helps with Schema.org. This is for structured data. It helps search engines understand content. It is also useful to define when not to use the block. This prevents misuse. An example of the block in use should be provided.

A developer creates a 'Product Description' content block. The developer defines its purpose: to describe a product. The developer lists 'product name' and 'price' as required fields. 'Color options' is an optional field. The description has a word limit of 50-200 words. The developer specifies how it looks on mobile and desktop. The developer notes it contributes to Schema.org 'Product' markup. The developer states it should not be used for blog posts. An example shows a description for a specific product.

A modal dialog should appear in the center of the screen. It should fade in slowly.

How should a user interface show content is loading?

How can a developer build a mobile view for a web application without breaking the desktop view?

A developer must treat mobile and desktop as two separate apps. They should use media queries to define distinct CSS layouts for each.
