Article Style Guide

All 5 content block types rendered with exact Webflow CSS

1. Pull Quotes

Pull quotes highlight key takeaways from the article. They use Georgia italic with a lime left border.

"Start with your nexus map, set up Shopify's tax engine, and add automation as you scale. That's the entire playbook."

Another example:

"Ecommerce bookkeeping requires specialized knowledge. You need to understand online business models, payment processing, and multi-channel inventory management."

2. Code Blocks

Code blocks use IBM Plex Mono on a dark background with a pine left border.

// Calculate blended customer acquisition cost
Blended CAC = Total Acquisition Costs / New Customers Acquired

// Example for Q1 2026
Total Ad Spend: $45,000
Influencer Costs: $12,000
Software Tools: $3,000
New Customers: 1,200

Blended CAC = $60,000 / 1,200 = $50.00 per customer

And a JavaScript example:

// Check for valid resale certificate
if (customer.tags.includes('reseller') && customer.exemption_cert_valid) {
    apply_tax = false;
}

// Calculate tax via TaxJar API
const tax = await taxjar.taxForOrder({
  from_country: 'US',
  from_zip: '92093',
  to_country: 'US',
  to_zip: '90210',
  amount: 100,
  shipping: 10
});
