# Redesign Summary — Syntropic Solutions

## Source
- **URL**: http://www.syntropicsolutions.com/
- **Platform**: Squarespace (v7.1)
- **Actual Industry**: Regenerative agriculture / syntropic agroforestry consultancy
- **Classification Note**: Initial AI inference classified this as "restaurant" (0.83 confidence) based on "food/eat" signals, but the actual business designs food forests, urban edible gardens, and runs education programs. The redesign reflects the true business.

## Design Direction
- **Family**: Cinematic-bold (dark base, high contrast, dramatic imagery)
- **Palette**: Near-black (#0a0a0a) base with vibrant green accent (#2b8c4a / #4ade80) and white text
- **Typography**: Playfair Display (headings) + Inter (body) — bold serif paired with sharp sans
- **Motion**: Opacity/translate fade-in on scroll (Intersection Observer only)

## Key Changes & Improvements

### Structure (rebuilt from scratch)
| Section | Source Status | What Changed |

| Services | Restructured | Three service cards (Food Forest, Urban Food, Education) with source images and rewritten copy |
