Migration Summary

Status

A maintainable Astro migration and substantial fidelity-first pass are implemented. The live public site was used as the authority for the shared shell, English and Spanish homepages, service-page family, team page, library indexes, and blog-post family.

Migrated Content and Assets

• 46 English, 12 Spanish, and 7 Arabic library posts.
• 21 English, 9 Spanish, and 2 Arabic page records.
• One author record per language.
• 167 self-hosted images, 20 font files, and two PDF downloads.
• Current June and May 2026 English library articles are included.

HubSpot-generated wrappers, analytics, scripts, CSS, query-language duplicates, AMP variants, pagination, and author archive variants are not carried into the Astro implementation.

Live-Source Fidelity Pass

Live pages inspected during the pass include:

• English and Spanish homepages
• ABA Therapy, Autism Evaluations, and Learner Social Club
• About, Team, and Client Consultation
• English and Arabic Library indexes
• Representative current library articles

Implemented fidelity work includes:

• Rebuilt the live two-tier header, navigation hierarchy, language controls, utility links, footer columns, and contact information.
• Rebuilt the complete English and Spanish homepages in their live section order using one reusable Astro component and self-hosted source assets.
• Moved the English and Spanish homepage copy into section-oriented home: frontmatter blocks so the page is easier to edit in Front Matter CMS.
• Rebuilt service pages around the live compact title banner and editorial presentation, with current visible headings and working calls to action.
• Recovered and restored the live decorative hero imagery for all mapped English and Spanish page routes plus every language's library index.
• Restored the consultation form section's injected background image.
• Added a dedicated live-derived team card grid rather than presenting the extracted team content as a generic article.
• Rebuilt the contact page around the live two-column content/form section and full-width Leaflet map while retaining local clickable obfuscated phone links.
• Rebuilt library indexes and blog-post presentation around the live sidebar, article list, byline, featured-image, and counter patterns.
• Converted FAQ-bearing posts to MDX and recreated their live-style accordions with a reusable component that emits matching FAQPage JSON-LD.
• Restored 32 live-source blog blockquotes with their original emphasis, links, fawn backgrounds, spacing, rounded presentation, and quote-mark SVG.
• Replaced generic oversized cards, rounded controls, and marketing heroes with live-derived typography, palette, widths, spacing, and compact controls.
• Corrected material live-source discrepancies found during the pass, including current homepage ESA copy, testimonial content, and ABA copy.

URLs and Redirects

Clean public URLs are preserved, including:

• /aba-therapy
• /autism-evaluations
• /learner-social-club
• /client-consultation
• /library
• /library/post-slug
• available /es/... and /ar/library/... routes

The generated sitemap contains 97 canonical URLs. Nginx rewrites exist only for the brief aliases /aba, /autismevaluations, and /learnersocialclub.

Forms

Visible consultation/contact-style pages render styled static HTML forms with backend and spam-protection TODO comments. Submission is intentionally disabled. Appointment and enrollment calls to action route to the static consultation page rather than retaining the production Jotform backend.

External Dependencies

• The contact page map intentionally matches the live Leaflet/OpenStreetMap implementation and loads Leaflet from unpkg.com plus map tiles from tile.openstreetmap.org.

Multilingual

• Spanish has the full live-derived homepage, translated service pages, library index, and available translated posts.
• Arabic has RTL support, a clearly marked placeholder landing page, the live library family, and available Arabic posts.
• Language-switcher choices are emitted only when the corresponding Astro route exists, preventing dead translated-route links.
• Arabic pages use lang="ar" and dir="rtl"; English and Spanish use LTR.
• No large Arabic translations were invented.

Likes and Views

The post counter uses PUBLIC_AIA_API_BASE, defaulting to https://api.azinstitute4autism.com. Its contract was verified against the current live-site script:

• POST /stats/batch for likes and views
• POST /likes to like
• DELETE /likes/{slug} to unlike

It preserves cookie-backed liked state and degrades gracefully if the API is unavailable.

SEO and Accessibility

• Canonicals, Open Graph tags, Twitter card tags, semantic titles, and global organization JSON-LD are emitted by shared layouts.
• Organization JSON-LD intentionally omits raw telephone and email fields; visible contact details use the Astro obfuscation component to avoid exposing plain email and phone targets in rendered HTML.
• Library-index canonicals and current visible page H1s are explicitly set.
• Extracted image alt text is retained where available.
• Semantic landmarks, skip link, labeled forms, keyboard-operable navigation, language/direction attributes, and responsive layouts are present.

Validation Results

• npm install --ignore-scripts: completed; 323 packages audited with one moderate advisory. The current shell uses Node 20.17.0, below the declared >=20.19.0; flake.nix now selects Node 22.
• npm run audit:links: passed with zero broken internal source links. The audit now checks generated routes, root-relative references, relative Markdown links, and public assets when rendered output is unavailable.
• npm run audit:images: passed with no missing mapped page banners, section backgrounds, or blog featured images.
• npm run audit:blog: passed with no article-header content duplicated in blog content and valid MDX FAQ components for 125 questions across 19 posts.
• npm run generate:sitemap: passed; generated 97 URLs.
• npm run generate:redirects: passed.
• All migration .mjs tools and the sandbox DNS helper pass node --check.
• The Astro compiler parsed all 49 .astro files successfully.
• npm run build: blocked before compilation because this autonomous sandbox cannot resolve localhost, causing getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN localhost.
• npm run build:sandbox: passed; generated 97 static pages.
• Live contact-page structure was inspected in browser at a 1280px desktop viewport; local generated HTML was checked for the contact layout, Leaflet assets, map container, and obfuscated clickable phone script. Local browser rendering was blocked because the Playwright browser cannot reach shell loopback servers and blocks file: URLs in this environment.
• Nix shell verification and npm audit retrieval were blocked by sandbox proxy/cache network resets.

Run npm run build outside the Codex sandbox with Node 20.19+ or Node 22 for final production-build proof.

Manual Review

• Perform full-page desktop and mobile visual comparisons for page-specific layouts beyond the completed homepage, team, service, library, and article families.
• Editorially review extracted long-form content for remaining extraction artifacts, stale phone/email references, and heading hierarchy.
• Review all source alt text, keyboard behavior, screen-reader output, and contrast with accessibility tooling.
• Have fluent reviewers approve Spanish content and Arabic RTL presentation.
• Select and connect a form backend with spam protection before launch.
• Validate like/view CORS, credentials, and production behavior after deployment.
