baseline.marketing

Marketing, launch-readiness, and portfolio site for Baseline: a political intelligence platform that measures public speech using independent AI systems.

This is not a template or a landing page. It is a product engineering artifact: the complete go-to-market surface built by a solo developer before product launch. Every page exists for a reason: app store compliance, SEO indexing, trust signaling, conversion, or portfolio presentation.

Live site: baseline.marketing Portfolio: baseline.marketing/built Architecture: baseline-showcase

baseline.marketing mobile hero - Signals you can measure

Why this site exists

Building the marketing layer before launch is deliberate:

  • App store compliance. Apple and Google require privacy policies, terms of service, EULA, and support pages before app approval. All four exist here and are custom-written for Baseline's data model.
  • Trust and transparency. Seven pages dedicated to trust: ethos, methodology, operational boundaries, privacy, terms, EULA, and CCPA opt-out. Users and hiring managers can verify exactly what Baseline does and does not do.
  • Conversion funnel. Waitlist capture (Supabase), tiered pricing, interactive feature demos, and methodology walkthroughs. Every page moves a visitor toward understanding or signing up.
  • SEO foundation. OpenGraph, Twitter Cards, JSON-LD structured data, programmatic sitemap, canonical URLs. Indexing takes weeks. The earlier this exists, the better.
  • Portfolio showcase. The /built page is designed to be the URL on resumes. It presents engineering work, build methodology, and contact info for hiring managers evaluating Founding AI Product Engineer candidates.

Technical highlights

  • Next.js 14 with app router and static export (output: "export")
  • TypeScript throughout (zero any, strict mode)
  • Zero external UI dependencies. No Tailwind, no chart libraries, no component kits
  • 22 custom interactive widgets (radar charts, timelines, tickers, signal gauges, heatmaps, constellation maps) built from scratch with vanilla React and CSS
  • Responsive design with mobile-first breakpoints
  • Accessibility: skip-to-content, aria-label/aria-current/aria-modal, keyboard focus trapping, escape key handling, prefers-reduced-motion support
  • SEO: OpenGraph + Twitter Card tags on every page, JSON-LD (Organization, WebSite, SoftwareApplication), programmatic sitemap.ts and robots.ts, canonical URLs on all routes
  • Static hosting on Cloudflare Pages (zero server costs, sub-second loads via CDN)
