Overview

Complete redesign of the Dominat8 marketing homepage (src/app/page.tsx) with a new aggressive, conversion-focused positioning. Replaced the previous generic hero with a 7-section layout emphasizing speed, competitive advantage, and AI-powered capabilities.

Key Changes

Homepage Structure (page.tsx)

Removed dynamic/revalidate directives (now uses default Next.js caching)
Rebuilt as modular component-based architecture (Nav, Hero, CompetitiveFraming, SpeedProof, FeatureWeapons, SocialProof, Pricing, CTA)
New messaging: "Your competitors are already winning" → urgency-driven positioning
Added metadata with updated title/description
7 distinct sections with clear CTAs and social proof

Design System (globals.css)

Replaced DXL toast notification system with Dominat8-specific design tokens
New color palette: Toxic green (#00ff41) accent on near-black background
Added animations: glitch text effect, grid background scroll, scanline overlay, neon glow
Implemented Space Grotesk typography throughout
Added utility classes: .neon-cta, .neon-border, .stat-glow, .glitch-text

Tailwind Configuration (tailwind.config.ts)

Added custom color palette (d8-black, d8-darker, d8-surface, d8-green, etc.)
Added font-family extensions for display/body typography

Layout & Metadata (layout.tsx, marketing/layout.tsx)

Simplified root layout (removed DXL components, PolishShell, atmosphere)
Updated metadata with aggressive messaging and OG tags
Added Google Fonts preconnect for Space Grotesk

Messaging Shift

Before: "Your site should do more than look good"
After: "Your competitors are already winning" + "90 seconds to live, 5 seconds to deploy"
Positioning: Speed, AI automation, competitive urgency, conversion-first design

Visual Changes

Dark, aggressive aesthetic with neon green accents
Angled/clipped borders (polygon clip-paths) for modern feel
Animated grid background and scanline effects
Glitch text animation on hero headline
Neon glow effects on CTAs and borders

Quality gates

CI build is green
No unexpected UI/design changes (intentional complete redesign)
Protected paths unchanged

Notes / risks

Design Intent: This is a complete visual and messaging overhaul. The new design is intentionally aggressive and dark with neon accents—very different from the previous aesthetic. This is by design to match the "Dominat8" brand positioning.

Browser Support: Uses modern CSS features (clip-path, backdrop-filter, CSS animations). Tested on modern browsers; older browsers will degrade gracefully.

Performance: Added animations are GPU-accelerated and respect prefers-reduced-motion. Grid background animation is subtle and performant.

No Breaking Changes: All changes are additive to the marketing homepage. No API or product changes.
