> Concept: **editorial-aviation**. Evolved navy/gold brand, hairline + coordinate motifs,
> Fraunces display serif, restrained gold, cinematic imagery, generous whitespace.
> Updated: 2026-06-14

## Phase 0 — Concept & Direction
- [x] Study all briefs, proposals, competitor analysis, current-site crawler
- [x] Lock direction: **new visual concept** rooted in **evolved navy/gold**, style-guide-first
- [x] Name & define concept ("Meridian")

## Phase 1 — Foundation
- [x] CLAUDE.md (project config + accurate business data + design-system quick ref)
- [x] TODO.md (this file)
- [x] style-guide.css — design tokens, base, typography, components, motifs
- [x] style-guide.html — standalone visual reference / concept preview
- [ ] **CHECKPOINT: client/lead sign-off on the new look** (proceeding; tokens cascade so tweaks are cheap)

## Phase 2 — Global Chunks  ✓
- [x] header.html — top bar, logo, mega-menu nav (Fleet/Services/About), Empty Legs accent, transparent→solid on scroll, mobile overlay
- [x] header-v2.html — VARIANT: container-width (wider) mega — fleet thumbnails + service groups + trust credentials (CSS inline)
- [x] header-v3.html — VARIANT: luxury mega — navy→ink gradient, column hairline dividers, gold-ruled labels, editorial fleet rows, cinematic feature tiles (CSS inline)
- [x] header-v4.html — standard dropdown nav (no mega menu) — per final dev spec; merged into body-home.html
- [x] **DECISION: header-v4 (standard dropdown) selected** — mega menu cut from scope per project brief
- [x] prefooter.html — cinematic "Request a Quote" CTA + trust bar
- [x] footer.html — 4-col footer, LinkedIn, empty-leg signup, contact, legal

## Phase 3 — Key Templates (priority)
- [x] body-home.html — full assembled page; header + footer merged in; hero video (Falcon 7X); real client photos; services V2; fleet V2 & V3; empty legs; destinations; journal; prefooter
- [x] body-home-v2.html — ALT layout (body-only): quote-bar hero, fleet comparison table, 7X overflow image, empty-leg card grid, featured destination + list, stat band, split CTA
- [x] body-fleet-index.html — body-only: hero, comparison table, 4 aircraft cards (Explore + plane), CTA
- [x] body-fleet-compare.html — standalone fleet comparison table (extracted from home)
- [ ] body-fleet-falcon7x.html — flagship: hero, gallery, specs, range map, amenities

## Design Revisions — Jun 12 Feedback

> Source: `notes/feedback-rian_12_June_2026.txt` + `notes/feedback-adi_12_June_2026.txt`

- [x] **Section numbers** — removed from body-home.html and body-fleet-compare.html
- [x] **Falcon 7X video** — converted MKV→MP4, set as `<video>` background in the hero section
- [x] **Client photos** — 17 photos symlinked to prototype/assets; hero video + fleet cards + spotlight + journal cards now use real client photos
- [x] **Icon review** — all icons evaluated; `local_offer` → `airline_seat_recline_extra` for Empty Legs (price tag → aviation seat)
- [ ] **Less AI, more handcrafted** — review elements that feel generic: uniform spacing, overly "safe" colour choices, textbook-level typographic hierarchy; add small intentional details that feel opinionated  ◀ CURRENT

## Notes

- Standalone-previewable; link `style-guide.css`; placeholders via placehold.co

- Hard rules: no tail numbers, no client testimonials, Falcon 7X confidential, dark palette, LinkedIn only
- Final build: WordPress + Kadence
