The homepage rendered two FAQ blocks — an inline "Common Questions" section
plus the <HomepageFaq /> component above the final CTA — which produced two
FAQPage JSON-LD entries and a redundant accordion. Consolidate on
HomepageFaq (self-contained, polished accordion, better a11y) and:
- delete the inline FAQ <section>, the `faqs` array, the `faq={faqs}` prop
on <SEO>, the orphan .faq-question/.faq-answer/.faq-icon CSS, and the
initFAQ() boot script + its call in index.astro
- merge the 4 unique inline questions (support, process, team augmentation,
security) into HomepageFaq's moneyFaqs; the 2 duplicates (technologies,
timeline) were already covered there
- refresh HomepageFaq's lead-in copy and comments to reflect it as the
single canonical homepage FAQ
Result: one FAQ heading + one accordion in the DOM, exactly one FAQPage
JSON-LD with 10 Q&A pairs, no broken anchor links.
Both honeypots now use off-screen positioning (position:absolute; left:-9999px;
width:1px; height:1px; overflow:hidden) instead of relying on a parent's
aria-hidden alone, and the input itself carries tabindex="-1",
autocomplete="off", and aria-hidden="true". Labels are sr-only and sit as
siblings of the input (no nested label/input). Avoid display:none and
visibility:hidden so bots that skip those still trip the trap.
Verified: rendered honeypot HTML matches spec on both /contact and the
homepage inline lead form, and /api/contact still 200s a populated `website`
silently (bot path) while accepting empty `website` payloads as real leads.
Both the contact form (/contact) and the homepage "Tell us about your project"
inline lead form post to /api/contact. Updated that single handler to build
the nodemailer transport from a clean set of SMTP_* env vars per spec:
SMTP_HOST / SMTP_PORT / SMTP_USER / SMTP_PASS
SMTP_FROM + SMTP_FROM_NAME -> "From: Ajay Ghanwat <ghanwat.ajay@workroot.in>"
MAIL_ADMIN_TO -> admin notification recipient
(falls back to SMTP_FROM, then legacy
CONTACT_EMAIL_TO / CONTACT_EMAIL / SMTP_USER)
SMTP_REQUIRE_TLS -> force STARTTLS upgrade on port 587
SMTP_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_MS -> defaults to 10000
SMTP_GREETING_TIMEOUT_MS -> defaults to 10000
SMTP_SOCKET_TIMEOUT_MS -> defaults to 10000
Behaviour preserved:
- Existing user-facing auto-reply (the block previously at L270) kept.
Subject + body now adapt for project-inquiry sources (homepage-inline,
homepage-hero, homepage-final-cta, mobile-sticky) so the admin inbox
can triage [Project Inquiry] vs [Contact Form] at a glance.
- Graceful degradation per FORM_INTEGRATION.md: missing env vars or a
failed nodemailer import logs a structured warning and returns 200 —
the site never 500s on email config.
- Rate limiting, honeypot, CORS, validation, and fire-and-forget
background dispatch are untouched.
Observability:
- Structured console logs at: transport created, admin accepted (with
messageId), user auto-reply accepted (with messageId), and send-failure
(with smtp code/command/response). SMTP_PASS is never logged.
Misc:
- .env.example updated to document the new variables and the legacy
aliases that are still honored.
Expand the CI/CD env-var table to list all SMTP_*, MAIL_ADMIN_TO,
SMTP_FROM, SMTP_FROM_NAME and STARTTLS/timeout knobs that the contact
and "Tell us about your project" forms now rely on. Adds a note that
the production secrets live in the Default environment's platform
env-var store and that the frontend service must be restarted after
any change.
Mounts a 3-field lead-capture form (name, email-or-phone, project type)
between the FAQ/tech-stack block and the final CTA band so visitors who
are ready to start a project can submit without leaving the homepage.
Cuts the friction step of routing every CTA through /contact.
- New src/components/InlineLeadForm.astro:
* Heading, micro-trust subhead, honeypot, client-side validation
* Smart contact-field routing: detects email vs phone and synthesises
a placeholder email for phone-only leads so the existing /api/contact
validator accepts them (the real phone is preserved and surfaced in
the admin notification)
* In-place success state with phone + WhatsApp fallbacks; no navigation
* 48px touch targets, dark-mode safe, autocomplete + inputmode attrs
- src/pages/api/contact.ts: accept and surface `source` / `projectType`
metadata (allowlisted source values, free-text projectType capped at
80 chars), add `erp-solutions` and `government-systems` subject codes,
and include the source/project info in both the admin email and logs.
- src/pages/index.astro: import + mount InlineLeadForm above the final
CTA section.
- tests/inline-lead-form.spec.ts: 8 specs covering UI render, mobile
attributes, blank-field validation, email-submit + phone-submit
payload routing, and server-side acceptance of the new payload shape,
new subjects, and unknown-source fallback.
- WhatsAppFab: 56px brand-green floating button (wa.me/919561417403), shown
on every page; safe-area aware; lifts above the mobile CTA bar on <md.
- MobileStickyCtaBar: 3-column sticky bottom bar (Call / WhatsApp / Quote)
visible only below the md breakpoint, with safe-area padding, 48px+ touch
targets, and dark-mode-aware styling. Bottom spacer keeps the footer
clear of the bar on mobile.
- Mounted both components globally via BaseLayout.
- Added tests/sticky-cta.spec.ts covering 360px and 1280px viewports,
link integrity, no-overflow, hidden-at-md, and FAB/bar non-overlap.
The stats tiles ("Projects Delivered" etc.) could end up frozen at
0+/0%/0+/0 whenever the IntersectionObserver never fired (tall
sections on mobile, threshold too strict, JS error, prefers-reduced-motion).
- Server-render the final value as the initial textContent so the
numbers are correct on first paint, with JS disabled, and on any
hydration failure.
- Lower observer threshold to 0.1 and add rootMargin so the animation
triggers reliably on tall viewports.
- Detect prefers-reduced-motion and render the final value without
animating.
- Fall back to immediate animation when IntersectionObserver is
unavailable or the section is already in view at load.
- Reset to 0 only at the moment the animation starts (and snap to
the exact target at the end) so a mid-flight failure can never
leave the counter visibly stuck.
- Boot all homepage scripts after DOMContentLoaded.
Hero
- Tightened H1 to a benefit-led, audience-first value prop
("Custom Software That Powers Enterprises & Governments")
- Replaced generic subhead with a ~135-char outcome line that names
the audience (startups, enterprises, government bodies)
- Swapped primary CTA copy to an action verb ("Get a free consultation")
and secondary to "See our work"; added source query params + data-cta
hooks so analytics can attribute CTA clicks
- Added a micro-trust line under the CTAs (free 30-min call, reply within
1 business day, no commitment)
Social proof
- New ClientLogos.astro component rendered below the hero. Grayscale
strip with hover pop, image+wordmark fallback, TODO documenting the
five required SVG assets in public/images/clients/
- Default roster sourced from the live portfolio (PLNR, RENTEC, IIT
Patna, MOC Soft Technologies, Govt. of Bihar)
- Existing testimonials carousel left intact (3 quotes with name/role)
Services preview
- Reframed the 4 cards around outcome headlines and added deep links
to /services#<slug> for each service detail section
- Renamed "Learn More" to "Learn more" and made it a real <a> link
with aria-label for screen readers
Final CTA band
- New conversion-focused headline ("Ready to ship your next production
system?") and a one-line offer with explicit response SLA
- Added a "what you'll get" reassurance row (discovery call, fixed-price
scope, NDA on request)
- Primary CTA now "Get my free consultation" with source attribution;
secondary "See case studies" preserved
- Process-section CTA renamed to "Book a discovery call" and tagged
SEO
- Updated meta description on BaseLayout invocation to match the new
positioning; FAQPage schema and existing structured data untouched
- Fix navigation assertion: use regex to match exact root URL instead of prefix check
- Scope all email input locators to #contact-form to avoid strict mode violation with newsletter form
- Scope all submit button locators to #contact-form to avoid strict mode violation
- Fix form visibility check: use #contact-form instead of generic 'form' locator
- Fix keyboard navigation test: click field to establish focus context before tabbing
- Fix mobile navigation test: use #mobile-menu links and direct goto for hidden nav
- Fix blog post content check: add .first() to avoid strict mode violation
- Fix form submission checks: use waitForFunction to handle rate-limit toast vs success state
- Fix mobile horizontal scroll threshold: use dynamic viewport width with generous margin
- Fix subject dropdown label assertion: matches actual "Service Needed" label text
- Fix focus order test: loop through budget radio buttons to reach message textarea
- Replace .tap() calls with .click() in mobile tests (no touch context configured)

Captured: 536 passed / 135 failed (chromium, 671 tests, 8.9 min) plus
9 manual smoke checks covering nav, contact + newsletter forms, blog
markdown, portfolio filters, /api/health.json, 404 page, broken
images, and mobile menu.
7 distinct root causes identified; 3 are demo blockers:
BUG-001 (Critical) — site-wide stylesheet 404. Running SSR process
started before dist/ was rebuilt mid-test; in-memory manifest
references stale CSS hash (about.DJCIkvZw.css) while disk has
only about.DDsw4wcw.css. Every page logs CSP/MIME error.
BUG-002 (High) — contact + newsletter rate limiter increments BEFORE
validation. 5 invalid attempts lock the form for 1 hour; corporate
NAT will trip this immediately. Cascaded into ~40 test failures.
BUG-004 (High) — 44/90 SVGs on home lack aria-hidden / aria-label.
WCAG 2.1 AA violation; blocker for govt-IT clients.
Verdict: NOT READY for client demo until BUG-001, -002, -004 fixed.

The POST handler previously awaited sendContactEmail() which blocked the
HTTP response until SMTP delivery completed. Now the email is fired off
as a background promise with error logging/Sentry capture in .catch(),
so users get an immediate 200 response (~130ms vs seconds).
