Replace the single Welcome image with a picture carousel (same component as
the Vineyard/Custom Homes galleries) featuring seven French country style
homes: the existing stone estate plus brick, stone, and cream-brick estates
drawn from previously unused photos. Tuscan/Mediterranean, modern-farmhouse,
and transitional homes were intentionally excluded.

Replace the placeholder map screenshot with the hand-illustrated Pine Creek
rendering (Photos4/PineCreek_2026_Artistic.png), optimized to a 1800px JPEG.
The artwork is intentionally abstract — only the two external reference roads
are labeled — so the caption no longer enumerates internal street names.

Incorporate the Cannon Ballers' Atrium Health Ballpark night panorama from
Photos3, cropped to a ~1.5:1 landscape that keeps the lit signage, stands,
and infield. Placed after Old Armour in the Kannapolis gallery (6 slides).

Welcome
- "Greater Charlotte area's" -> "Cabarrus County's" (local focus); end line
on "...in Kannapolis, North Carolina" to avoid repetition
- Add "...secure and quiet community that is conveniently located."
The Vineyard
- Remove the "Learn More" button
- "A subsection of" -> "An enclave within"
- Add Merlot Trace to the named streets
Custom Homes
- "choose their own custom home builder"
- Reference the Architectural Review Committee (not the HOA) and note it is
glad to talk and review preliminary renderings before you purchase
- Reframe the lots note around an early conversation with the ARC rather than
implying the HOA controls availability
Community (Life at Pine Creek)
- Add a "Community" link to the top nav (drop "Contact" to keep the centered
logo balanced; Contact remains reachable via the page section and buttons)
- Rework the pavilion sentence to mention the two ponds
- Greener grass on community-vineyard-rows.jpg (drought browning), vegetation
masked so the road, mulch, and homes are untouched
Kannapolis
- Convert the single image into a slider (matches other sections): City Hall
first, plus West Avenue (dusk & night), the GEM Theatre, and Old Armour
Beer Garden, cropped/optimized for web
- "a beautiful downtown" -> "a beautiful revitalized downtown"
HOA
- Replace the lead-in with the provided board/governance description

Replace the generic stock image with a cropped 3:2 shot of Kannapolis City
Hall (source: Wikimedia Commons), trimmed to center the building, flags, and
plaza. Update alt text and remove the now-unused kannapolis-nc.jpg.

The street in the Community & Common Areas "vineyard rows" image had visible
crack-seal lines, sealant patches, and uneven tone. Masked the asphalt by tone
within a road-shaped region and applied median + smoothing + slight
darken/desaturate so it reads as fresh blacktop; curbs, vineyard, and homes
untouched.
Reviewed the other community and estate photos: the estate driveways are clean
concrete/asphalt, and community-aerial's road is a small/distant element where
an automated mask wasn't reliable, so those were left as-is.

- Homeowner Information: download the six HOA PDFs from pinecreekhoa.com into
/docs and repoint the document cards to the local files (self-contained;
no cross-site dependency).
- Hero tagline: "A premier gated community of custom luxury homes" ->
"Cabarrus County's premier gated community of custom estates".
- Welcome photo: digitally clean the stained concrete driveway and paver
apron in IMG_1964 (hue-masked desaturate/lighten/even-out via ffmpeg;
grass, brick, and sky untouched).
- Contact: "Email the HOA" button now uses president@pinecreekhoa.com.

Performance / self-hosting
- Remove the render-blocking Bootstrap 4 CDN stylesheet (~160 KB + extra
DNS/TLS to a third party) and replace it with ~60 lines of self-hosted
grid/utility CSS covering the small subset actually used (container, row,
col-lg-5/6/7, order-lg, align-items-center, text-center, table-responsive,
spacing, and the button base). Verified across desktop/tablet/mobile.
- Add a Cloudflare Pages `_headers` file: 30-day cache for static media and
icons, 1-day for css/js, plus baseline security headers
(X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy).
- Add decoding="async" to all lazily-loaded images.
The site now loads no third-party CSS; only Google Fonts remain external.
SCSS source kept in sync (new components/_grid partial; button base + reset
mirrored in main.scss).

Content & media
- Replace placeholder slides with optimized real estate photos (img/gallery)
- Rebuild hero video from the HD intro clip + drone "common area" clips
(gate -> vineyard -> home front -> Vineyard sign -> pavilion -> fountain),
cutting the private backyard segment; add mobile variant + poster
- Add "Community & Common Areas" aerial gallery and a community map
- Galleries split strictly by style: Vineyard = Tuscan homes only,
Custom Homes = non-Tuscan estates
HOA / Homeowner Information
- Real board roster (sourced from pinecreekhoa.com) in a responsive table
- Homeowner Information document library (CC&Rs, Vineyard covenants, safety
rules, architectural review form, delinquency policy, event reimbursement)
linking the live PDFs; Premier Management Company reference
- Real general contact email
Design & UX
- Modern full-screen video hero with overlay, sticky nav, refined typography
- Click-to-zoom lightbox for all galleries (keyboard + swipe)
- Google Maps embed in the Kannapolis section
- Favicon set generated from the Pine Creek emblem (svg/png/ico)
- Positive reframe of the Custom Homes copy + lot-availability note
- SEO/Open Graph meta, lazy-loaded images, responsive board/doc layouts
Housekeeping
- SCSS source kept in sync (new partials: hero, sections, gallery, board,
features); remove stale placeholders, old.index.php, and map artifact
- Add .gitignore (.DS_Store, .claude/, css map); fix docs (index.php -> index.html)
