Nerdworks Singles — Archive, Product Page & Card Profile Build Brief

PBNW5 Brief Nerdworks

Brief scope

Combined build brief for three storefront surfaces of the Nerdworks Singles vertical. These share card-presentation DNA and buy flow, so they are designed together. This brief is split into per-surface sections; Stitch mockup prompts will use per-surface extracts. Both Pokémon and MTG reference cards are used throughout — every layout must look equally at home with both games.

Reference card data (use in mockups)

Every mockup and prototype uses these two real cards side-by-side to validate the layout for both TCGs.

Surface 1 — Singles archive

Page purpose

The browse-and-buy surface for all consigned singles. Because the model is 1 card : 1 SKU, the archive will eventually have thousands of products. A search-first UX is required — the default view is a prominent search bar + filters, not an open paginated grid. The grid renders after the user has applied at least one filter or entered a search term.

Hero / header section

Trust bar

Below hero — compact trust signal strip: staff-verified condition, secure checkout, free UK shipping over £X, returns policy.


Surface 2 — Individual product page

Page purpose

The buy surface for one specific consigned card (one WC product, stock 1). The card is presented as a collector object, not a commodity. Layout should feel like a gallery page — card art is the hero, data is supporting context. Prominently cross-links to the canonical card profile for lore, history, and market context.

Layout sections

Tone

Collector, not retail. “This is a rare piece” not “Buy now before it sells”. The editorial curation voice from the wider Showcase direction applies.


Surface 3 — Canonical card profile page

Page purpose

A catalogue-level page for a specific card — exists regardless of whether Nerdworks has stock. It is the SEO anchor for that card, ranking for “[Card name] [Set] price”, “[Artist] cards” etc. Serves as a collector reference page — closer to a museum entry than a shop listing.

Layout sections

Existence behaviour

This page always exists for every card in the catalogue, even with no live stock. Out-of-stock state: the Available now section shows the email-capture state. The page remains indexable and SEO-optimised.
