## Overview

Port Clinton Elks Lodge #1718: Your Lake Erie Tradition Awaits

Nestled at 231 Buckeye Blvd in the heart of Port Clinton, Ohio, the Port Clinton Elks Lodge #1718 has been the beating heart of Lake Erie community life since 1918. We're more than just a venue—we're family, friends, and unforgettable moments under one roof.

Our 4.7-star rating from 95 glowing reviews isn't luck—it's the result of genuine hospitality from staff who treat you like kin.

**Archetype:** `classic`  ·  **Voice:** `professional`  ·  **Pace:** `steady`  ·  **Density:** `medium`

## Colors

The palette is designed to reflect Port Clinton Elks Lodge #1718's character — every token below is a deliberate direction, not extracted noise.

- **Primary** (`{colors.primary}`) — `#0a3b2c` — dominant identity color, used for headers, primary buttons, link emphasis, brand marks.
- **Secondary** (`{colors.secondary}`) — `#e8d8a8` — supporting tone, used for soft backgrounds, dividers, and quiet emphasis.
- **Accent** (`{colors.accent}`) — `#c2362b` — high-contrast attention color, used sparingly for CTAs, badges, and editorial moments.

## Typography

- **Body** (`{typography.body}`) — `sans-serif`, `regular`. Used for paragraph text, lists, captions.
- **Display** (`{typography.display}`) — `sans-serif` in `standard` mode. Used for hero headlines, section titles, and editorial pull-outs.

Set generous line-height (1.6+) for body. Display can run tight (-0.01em letter-spacing) for graphic impact.

## Layout

Default rendering uses the Doozer Muse v3 section pipeline. Sections are addressable units — each one selectable by variant (e.g. `about/alternating`, `services/alternating`, `events/upcoming-list`). The container pattern is:

- Outer: `.container` (max-width 1400px)
- Body prose: `.container-narrow` (max-width 900px) — readability is non-negotiable
- Mobile collapse at 880px and 640px breakpoints

## Shapes

- Cards: `{rounded.card}` (14px) — gentle, signals warmth without softness
- Buttons: `{rounded.button}` (999px / pill) — directional, never timid
- Images: `{rounded.image}` (18px) — generous, frames content as artifact

## Components

Doozer ships a fixed component vocabulary that every business site shares. Each component honors the tokens above. Operators don't choose components — the Muse v3 pipeline composes them per section.

- **Hero** — full-bleed photo, brand-tinted overlay, trust pill (rating + today's hours), large display headline
- **About / Services** — `classic` text-only OR `alternating` (image+text rhythm). Smart photo selection via vision metadata.
- **Why Choose Us** — modern numbered cards (01 / 02 / 03), or icon cards, or photo cards — variant per Muse
- **Events** (`upcoming-list`) — chronological event list with affiliate-wrapped tickets
- **Reviews** — letter-on-gradient avatars (or Google profile photos when available), show-more for long reviews
- **FAQ** — native `<details>` accordion, brand-tinted accent on open
- **Hours of Operation** — live open/closed banner + weekly grid with today highlighted
- **Contact** — embedded map + action cards + Save-to-Contacts vCard + Share button
- **Network footer** — every page declares its position in the Doozer / BerrySmart network

## Do's and Don'ts

### Do
- Treat color tokens as inviolable — `{colors.primary}` is **the** brand color, not a starting suggestion.
- Pair `classic` archetype with the matching decorative hints: (none specified).
- Use `{colors.accent}` only for high-intent surfaces (CTAs, urgency, editorial pull-outs). It should feel rare.
- Preserve readability — body line-length never exceeds ~75 characters.
- Honor the `professional` voice in every line of generated copy. The Muse defines this; don't drift.

### Don't
- Don't introduce colors not in the palette. If a new color is needed, add it via the Muse, not ad-hoc.
- Don't replace Doozer components with custom HTML — the pipeline handles structural variants; new structures belong as variants under `includes/sections/`.
- Don't run banner ads, popups, or interstitials. Per the Mission Charter, affiliate revenue is a side-effect of usefulness, never the primary surface.
- Don't generate content that contradicts verified facts (address, hours, phone, rating). The AI generates voice + emphasis; verified data is sacred.
