As-Built Documentation

Build a complete website for Cloud Ready Solutions — an Australian IT distributor that distributes technology vendors to MSPs (Managed Service Providers) and enterprise buyers across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands.

Bold headings (text-3xl to text-6xl font-bold). Body text in gray-600. Spacing: Consistent py-16/py-20 section padding. max-w-7xl containers. px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8 horizontal padding. Cards: rounded-2xl with border border-gray-200, hover:shadow-xl transitions. Gradient headers on some cards. Icons: Lucide React exclusively. No emoji characters anywhere in the UI. Responsive: Mobile-first with sm:, md:, lg: breakpoints. Mobile hamburger menu in header. Grid columns collapse on mobile. --- DATABASE / BACKEND: Supabase edge functions: 1. "partner-auth" — handles login, logout, session validation, password reset request, password reset 2. "contact-enquiry" — handles form submission, stores enquiries with fields: first_name, last_name, email, phone, company_name, job_title, enquiry_type, subject, message, preferred_contact_method, how_did_you_hear, newsletter_opt_in Database tables: - partners (id, email, password_hash, company_name, contact_name, phone, location, business_type, status, created_at) - partner_sessions (id, partner_id, token, expires_at, created_at) - contact_enquiries (id, first_name, last_name, email, phone, company_name, job_title, enquiry_type, subject, message, preferred_contact_method, how_did_you_hear, newsletter_opt_in, status, created_at) --- KEY DESIGN DECISIONS: 1. Vendor data is hardcoded in vendorData.ts, not fetched from database — this is intentional for performance and because vendor info changes infrequently. 2. Solution pages follow a consistent template but are individual files (not generated from data) to allow per-solution customisation. 3. The homepage uses composition of separate components (HeroSection, SolutionPillars, etc.) rather than one monolithic file. 4. Partner authentication uses custom session tokens stored in Supabase, not Supabase Auth — this was a deliberate choice for the partner portal. 5. The site positions CRS as a distributor throughout — never as a consultant or MSP. This messaging is critical and should be maintained. 6. Australian English spelling is used throughout (virtualisation, organisation, colour, etc.). 7. Real partner testimonials with first names and company names are used — these are verified quotes from Quotient reviews. --- IMPORTANT NOTES FOR REBUILD: - The Header component has dropdown menus for Solutions (9 items) and Vendors (9 items) with proper routing - The Footer has a newsletter form, 4-column link layout, and collapsible vendor A-Z index - Each vendor page uses dynamic colour theming based on the vendor's brand - The Keepit vendor page has a special "Supported Workloads" tab not present on other vendor pages - Solution pages use the same visual structure but different content — do NOT create a generic template that generates them - The contact form integrates with Supabase edge functions for real form submission - Partner login/portal uses session-based auth with remember-me functionality - All interactive elements must have real functionality (no placeholder onClick handlers)
