# BRAND Craigslist 2026 · Page: product-detail

HEADER
brand: Craigslist; design_date: 2026-09; page_type: product-detail (a classified posting); variants: every posting type (for sale, housing, jobs, services, community, events) uses this template; housing and jobs add more attribute groups; the same posting also opens inside the search app as a preview pane (cl-posting-viewer)
example_urls: https://www.craigslist.org/view/d/{slug}/{id} (captured: a for-sale-by-owner musical instruments posting in the east bay with 5 photos)
evidence: measured on the live posting 2026-09-29 (posting-2026-09-21-13-38 CSS parsed rule by rule, server HTML, computed styles at 1440x900 and 390x844 @2x) unless marked; this page is still the classic server-rendered template, not the JS app
purpose: show one posting with its photos and let the visitor reply, save, hide or flag it
skeleton: classic header 42px, section.body centered max-width 980px (61.25em) with padding 8px 9px (x 230-1210 at 1440), one flow of blocks, footer; total height 983px at 1440 with 5 photos and a short text, 1364px at 390; sidebar: right column (map + attributes) at ≥1024 only
overrides: header is the classic posting header (white "CL" pill + breadcrumbs, post | account) instead of the app header; posting title and body use the serif stack; visited links show browser purple
