A three-column Do / Don't guide with a green pill-tab header, advice columns flanking a centered phone mockup of a Hinge conversation screen.

Summary

A Do / Don't guide page: a green-and-neutral pill-tab header ("Guide to Making a Soft Start" / "Initiating a Convo") over three columns, a "Do" advice column and a "Don't" advice column flanking a centered phone mockup of a Hinge conversation.

Visual description

Cream background. A two-part pill-tab header runs across the top: a green tab "Guide to Making a Soft Start" beside a neutral tab "Initiating a Convo," both in serif. A horizontal rule sits below, and the body is divided into three columns by vertical hairlines. The left column has a black "Do" pill and two titled tips with stats (Show an Interest from the Get-Go 72%, Look for Similarities 61%). The center column shows a phone mockup of a Hinge conversation screen (a prompt "Leading a queer line dancing class," a reply, a "Send Like" button, and an on-screen keyboard) with a sans caption beneath. The right column has a black "Don't" pill and one titled counter-tip (Immediately Plan Out Your Life Together 10%). A hairline footer runs the Hinge wordmark, report title, and "01: Embracing a Soft Start."

Key takeaway

The Do / Don't symmetry around a central product mockup: positive advice on one side, the pitfall on the other, with a live example of the right behavior in the middle. The colored "Do" versus black "Don't" pills give instant visual polarity.

Reuse notes

The strongest of the guide templates for prescriptive content, do this, not that, with a worked example between. Reuse the three-column Do/mockup/Don't structure whenever a finding has a clear best practice and a common mistake. Keep tips to a couple per side so the columns stay legible.
