## Enhancement Pattern

### 1. Visual Examples Section

Add after "Visual Description" section:

```markdown
**Visual Examples (To Be Added):**

**Hero Section Screenshot:**
- Location: `docs/guides/tools-pages/screenshots/[tool-slug]-hero.png`
- Description: [What the screenshot shows]
- Dimensions: 1920x1080 (desktop), 375x667 (mobile)

**Calculator Form Screenshot:**
- Location: `docs/guides/tools-pages/screenshots/[tool-slug]-form.png`
- Description: [What the screenshot shows]

**Result Display Screenshot:**
- Location: `docs/guides/tools-pages/screenshots/[tool-slug]-results.png`
- Description: [What the screenshot shows]

**Workflow Diagram:** (if applicable)
- Location: `docs/guides/tools-pages/diagrams/[tool-slug]-workflow.svg`
- Description: [What the diagram shows]
```

### 2. Real-World Scenarios

Add after "Use Cases" section:

```markdown
### Real-World Scenarios

**Scenario 1: [Title]**
- **User:** [User type]
- **Situation:** [Context]
- **Goal:** [What they want to achieve]
- **Steps:**
  1. [Step 1]
  2. [Step 2]
  3. [Step 3]
- **Result:** [Outcome]
- **Related Tools:** [Links to related tools used]
```

### 3. Enhanced Related Tools Section

Replace existing "Related Tools" section with:

```markdown
### Related Tools

**Complementary Tools:**
- **[Tool Name](tool-slug-documentation.md)** - [Brief description]
  - Use together when: [Scenario]
  - Example workflow: [Brief example]

**Alternative Tools:**
- **[Tool Name](tool-slug-documentation.md)** - [Brief description]
  - Use instead when: [Scenario]

**Sequential Tools:**
- **[Tool Name](tool-slug-documentation.md)** - [Brief description]
  - Use after: [Previous step]
  - Use before: [Next step]
```

## Screenshot Requirements
