Methodology
How the market pages are assembled
The content model keeps the original archive data, then renders it through a slimmer PHP template layer.
Content handling
Posts, pages, categories, and tags are read directly from the legacy content database. That keeps the archive available while the public site runs through a clean custom PHP presentation layer.
Article structure
Posts are rendered with a consistent reading frame: category, title, date, excerpt, body, tags, and related articles. If a post has no image, a branded placeholder fills the gap.
Navigation model
Categories are treated as topic lanes. That makes the archive easier to scan and helps visitors move from a broad theme into a narrower market page without friction.
