-# CeradonSystemsWebsite
+# Ceradon Systems Marketing Site
+
+A static, tactical marketing presence for Ceradon Systems and the Vantage product line. Built with Vite, vanilla JavaScript, and Tailwind via CDN to keep the footprint lean and deployment-ready for air-gapped environments.
+
+## Features
+
+- Dark, high-contrast UI aligned with Ceradon brand assets.
+- Vector-only brand assets (SVG) so the repo stays text-diff friendly in restricted pipelines.
+- Shared sticky header with responsive logo swap, accessible mobile nav, and footer links populated from JavaScript.
+- Seven content pages covering product, technology, company, IP, careers, contact, and privacy.
+- Offline-friendly contact workflow that copies the inquiry to the clipboard and launches a mailto link—no backend dependencies.
+- Assets, gallery placeholders, and diagram scaffolding ready for future pose-visualization overlays.
+- Robots and sitemap metadata for search hygiene, plus Open Graph/Twitter cards on every page.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```
+
+The dev server runs at `http://localhost:5173` by default. All HTML pages are entry points; navigate directly to `/vantage.html`, `/technology.html`, etc.
+
+### Production Build
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+The static output is emitted to `dist/`. Serve the directory via any static host. No server-side processing is required.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+assets/            Brand images, gallery placeholders, architecture diagram stub
+src/main.js        Initializes shared UI (nav states, mobile menu, contact form)
+src/ui.js          Navigation logic, focus trapping, footer hydration
+styles/styles.css  CSS variables, component overrides, focus styles
+*.html             Individual marketing pages with shared header/footer
+robots.txt         Basic crawler directives
+sitemap.xml        Search indexing map
+vite.config.js     Vite multi-page configuration
+```
+
+## Accessibility & Performance
+
+- WCAG-compliant contrast with visible focus states and keyboard-friendly navigation.
+- Mobile menu includes overlay dismissal, ESC handling, and focus trapping.
+- Lazy-loading applied to gallery imagery. No third-party trackers are included.
+- Design keeps payload small for quick loads over limited links.
+
+## Customization Notes
+
+- Tailwind runs via CDN with a small configuration snippet in each page head for color tokens.
+- Update `FOOTER_LINKS` in `src/ui.js` if you add or rename pages; header markup must remain in sync with the provided snippet.
+- Replace placeholder imagery in `assets/` (`diagram.svg`, gallery files, founder portrait, map) with production visuals as they become available.
+- Extend the contact workflow with secure form handling when a backend endpoint is approved; current behavior is clipboard + mailto by design.
