About the Marginalia template
Marginalia is a bookshop online. A magazine-style front of staff picks, a shop grid, readings and signings by branch, a weekly newsletter and shop cards with live opening status keep the warmth of a real shop.
An independent bookshop, online. It is a complete bookshop landing page for React and Tailwind CSS 4, assembled from 7 Charcoal UI sections.
Who Marginalia is for
- Independent bookshops.
- Small publishers.

What is inside
7 sections, top to bottom:
- Navbar Centered: Editorial shop nav with a big centred serif wordmark that shrinks on scroll and a bag count.
- Blog Featured: Magazine front with a serif lead story, a column of more stories and a numbered most-read list.
- Product Grid: Shop grid with category chips, sorting, wishlist hearts and a quick-add button that fills the bag.
- Event Schedule: Conference agenda with day tabs, track filters and bookmarks that build your own schedule.
- Newsletter Issues: Newsletter landing block: subscribe form with reader count beside an archive of recent issues.
- Contact Offices: Office cards with each city's local time and whether the studio is open right now.
- Footer Contact: Studio footer with a giant email link, address, hours, live local time and a huge faded wordmark.
How it is built
Events use the agenda section, with branches as tabs. Every section is a separate Charcoal UI section, so you can reorder, remove or restyle any of them, and the accent colour is one CSS variable on the page wrapper.
