## What was captured and preserved

| Fact | Source status | In redesign |
|---|---|---|
| Business name: Syntropic Solutions | Present | Hero, nav, footer, JSON-LD |
| Founder: Thiago Barbosa (2013) | About page | Stats bar, About section, JSON-LD |
| 100+ edible gardens & food forests | About page | Stats bar |
| Projects across 10 countries | About page | Stats bar |
| 200,000+ sqm transformed | About page | Stats bar |
| Phone: +61 411 348 891 | Footer | Nav CTA, footer, JSON-LD |
| Email: admin@syntropicsolutions.com | Footer | Footer, JSON-LD |
| 3 service lines: Food Forest, Urban Food, Education | Home page | Services section |
| 5-step process (Consult → Design → Install → Maintain → Harvest) | Food Forest page | Process section |
| Calendly discovery call link | Home + Food Forest | Hero CTA, CTA section |
| Crookneck Retreat client story | About + Food Forest | Noted but not used as testimonial per proof_rule |
| Client/collaborator logos | About page | Client logo grid |
| Social links: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn | Footer + nav | Footer |

## What was intentionally omitted

- **Address / hours / map** — No real data exists on source; policy forbids fabrication
- **Testimonials** — Only Crookneck Retreat story exists as narrative; no ratings/reviews present
- **Legacy Squarespace navigation** — Replaced with single-page anchor nav
- **Blog links / internal legacy URLs** — Rebuilt as in-page sections
- **Cart link** — Not relevant to static preview
- **Generic or low-contrast copy** — All source copy was rewritten for clarity and conversion

## Design decisions

- **Art direction:** Earthy, warm, approachable — deep greens (`#2d5a27`) on off-white (`#fafaf8`) with serif accent numbers
- **Typography:** System-ui body (fast, readable) with Georgia serif for stat numerals
- **Layout:** Single-page with anchored sections — hero → stats → about → services → process → gallery → clients → CTA → footer
- **Animations:** `transform`/`opacity` only — fade-in on scroll via IntersectionObserver
- **Mobile:** Full responsive breakpoints at 900px and 520px; hamburger nav, stacked grids
- **CTA emphasis:** Phone number in nav, Calendly link in hero and dedicated CTA banner
- **Proof policy:** Only verifiable facts used — no invented ratings, awards, or testimonials
- **SEO:** Canonical URL, OG/Twitter tags, JSON-LD (HomeAndConstructionBusiness schema), single H1, logical H2/H3 hierarchy
- **Images:** Reused source Squarespace CDN assets (hybrid strategy); all have descriptive alt text
- **Footer:** Contact block with phone, email, social links, and service links. No map (no address data available).

## Design guardrails compliance

| Guardrail | Status |
|---|---|
| No generic SaaS hero patterns | Custom hero with service-specific imagery |
| No gradient text | Plain solid-color text throughout |
| Low-contrast CTA / body text | Tested — `#444` body on `#fafaf8`, white CTAs on green |
| No legacy source navigation | Single-page anchor nav |
| No fabricated stats/reviews | Only verified facts from source |
| Motion: transform/opacity only | IntersectionObserver fade-in, hover scale |
| Location: map or directions | Omitted — no address data exists on source |
| Alt text on every non-decorative image | All gallery + service images have descriptive alt |
