Each panel below is a working miniature of a site that could run at this address: navigation, hero, product screen and proof numbers, followed by a plain note on how that business would position the name. All twenty stay on screen at all times; a lane simply marks its own. The domain sits in the browser bar of every one of them, whole and unbroken, because the name is the thing being sold.
