Platform Features
This page is a sample feature showcase layout you can use to explain plan features in a clearer and more visual way.
Instead of showing only internal keys like custom_branding or customer_followup, present each feature with:
- A plain-language summary
- A “what it does” section
- A simple “how it works” explanation
- A screenshot area that can be replaced with a real product image
Feature glossary
