+
+---
+
+## Header & Footer: Conditions
+
+After importing a header or footer template, Bricks automatically applies the **first published** header/footer sitewide. To control which header or footer appears on which pages:
+
+1. Open the template in Bricks editor
+2. Go to **Settings → Template Settings → Conditions**
+3. Set the condition (e.g., "Entire website", specific page type, or individual page)
+4. Publish
+
+If you have multiple headers (e.g., one default, one for landing pages), set conditions on each to prevent conflicts.
+

+
+## Page Recipes
+
+Since sections are the reusable building blocks, a "page" is just sections stacked in order. Common recipes:
+
+**Home page**
+→ `hero-simple` or `hero-split`
+→ `features-3col` or `features-4col`
+→ `content-image-right`
+→ `testimonials`
+→ `cta-banner`
+
+**Services page**
+→ `hero-simple` (brief intro)
+→ `features-4col` (services overview)
+→ `content-image-right` (detail section)
+→ `content-image-left` (second detail section)
+→ `cta-banner`
+
+**About page**
+→ `hero-simple`
+→ `content-image-right` (story/mission)
+→ `testimonials`
+→ `cta-banner`
+
+**Contact / FAQ page**
+→ `hero-simple` (brief)
+→ `faq-accordion`
+→ `cta-banner`
+
+---
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+All templates are **structural only** — no baked-in colors, font sizes, or spacing. Bricks theme defaults and your Global Styles apply. This keeps the templates neutral and lets your brand come through without fighting overrides.
+
+**What's included per template:**
+- Flex layout direction, alignment, and gap on containers
+- Heading tags (h1–h4) for semantic structure
+- Placeholder text on all text elements
+- Labels on outer elements for builder readability
+- Empty image elements (Bricks shows a placeholder in the editor)
+

+
+## Bundles
+
+After manual verification, export all templates from Bricks and save the ZIP to `bundles/bcw-starter-kit.zip` for easy one-click import on future projects.
