Practical screen-free plans for Richmond
Start with a planner question, not a content dump. ScreenFreeRVA narrows local options into one calm next move, with reasons, backup plans, freshness notes, and durable links into event, place, and collection pages.
Start with the question
These are the three entry points the public site should make easiest to reach when someone needs a plan fast.
Planner
Start with time, neighborhood, weather, and energy so the site can narrow to one practical next move.
Today
A short, curated digest for the immediate planning window when you need a plausible option fast.
Weekend
A half-day oriented roundup built around local bundles, not a giant article feed.
How the product stays planner-first
The public experience works best when every surface supports a real planning decision instead of acting like a generic local content feed.
- Start from a real constraint
- The planner leads with time, neighborhood, weather, budget, and energy so the first recommendation is actually usable.
- Keep durable local pages nearby
- Event, place, and collection pages hold the practical notes, freshness cues, and related links that support repeat visits.
- Always leave room for a backup
- Every public surface explains why an option fits and what to do if weather, timing, or kid energy changes.
What the public site protects
These rules come from the product docs and shape what belongs on the homepage and what does not.
- Planner first, content site second.
- Fewer, better pages instead of thin local SEO filler.
- Sponsor surfaces stay separate from editorial judgment and canonical facts.
Sample local routes
The stronger MVP is not a pile of placeholder bullets. It is a small set of reusable event, place, and collection pages with practical notes and internal linking.
Free Family Weekend
A sample decision bundle that starts with a real family problem: build a weekend plan that feels local, flexible, and mostly free.
Neighborhood Park Loop
A dependable outdoor reset for days when you want movement, a short loop, and permission to leave early if the mood shifts.
Story Morning at Main
A short indoor library event page built for the moments when a modest, dependable plan is better than chasing something bigger.
Supporting public surfaces
These routes support the planner vision without turning the homepage into a blog or a monetization maze.
Newsletter
A sample weekly brief that shows how planner picks roll into a curated email surface.
Sponsor
A separate public lane for local sponsorship fit, disclosures, and package boundaries.
Rainy-Day Reset
A smaller decision bundle for rainy days, low-energy Saturdays, or last-minute weather pivots when the goal is simply to keep the day moving.
