🔧 Customization Guide

1. Update Brand Colors

In styles.css, find:

:root {
    --primary-green: #10B981;
    --primary-green-dark: #059669;
    --primary-green-light: #D1FAE5;
    /* Change these to your brand colors */
}

2. Update Company Name & Logo

Replace "CarbonConstruct" text in all HTML files.

For logo, replace the SVG in navigation:

<svg width="32" height="32" viewBox="0 0 32 32">
    <!-- Your logo SVG here -->
</svg>

3. Update Pricing

In index.html, find the pricing section and update:

<div class="price">
    <span class="price-currency">$</span>
    <span class="price-amount">79</span>  <!-- Change amount -->
    <span class="price-period">/month</span>
</div>

4. Connect Stripe Payment

In checkout.html, line 282:

const stripe = Stripe('pk_test_YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY');

Replace with your actual Stripe publishable key from https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys

5. Add Real Authentication

Replace demo authentication in signin.html (line 155):

// Replace this demo code:
alert('Sign in successful! (This is a demo)');
window.location.href = 'dashboard.html';

// With actual API call:
const response = await fetch('/api/signin', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({ email, password })
});

6. Update Contact Information

<a href="mailto:support@carbonconstruct.com">support@carbonconstruct.com</a>

<div class="testimonial-quote">
    "Your actual customer quote here..."
</div>
<div class="testimonial-author">
    <div class="testimonial-avatar">MJ</div>
    <div>
        <div class="testimonial-name">Customer Name</div>

    </div>
</div>

💳 Stripe Integration

Setup Steps

1. Get Stripe Account

   • Sign up at https://stripe.com
   • Complete verification

2. Get API Keys

   • Dashboard → Developers → API keys
   • Copy "Publishable key" (starts with pk_)

3. Update checkout.html

   const stripe = Stripe('YOUR_STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY'); // Production
   // or
   const stripe = Stripe('pk_test_YOUR_KEY'); // Testing

4. Create Server Endpoint

   // Backend (Node.js example)
   app.post('/create-subscription', async (req, res) => {
       const { paymentMethodId, email, plan } = req.body;
       
       // Create customer
       const customer = await stripe.customers.create({
           email: email,
           payment_method: paymentMethodId,
       });
       
       // Create subscription
       const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
           customer: customer.id,
           items: [{ price: 'price_YOUR_PRICE_ID' }],
           trial_period_days: 14
       });
       
       res.json({ subscriptionId: subscription.id });
   });

5. Test with Test Cards

   • 4242 4242 4242 4242 - Success
   • Any future expiry date
   • Any 3-digit CVC

    'EARLYBIRD': { discount: 20, type: 'percent' },
    'SAVE10': { discount: 10, type: 'dollars' }
};

🔐 Security Best Practices

1. Use HTTPS - Required for Stripe, passwords, etc.
2. Validate on Server - Never trust client-side validation alone
3. Rate Limiting - Prevent brute force on login forms
4. Password Requirements - Already enforced (8+ chars, mixed types)
5. CORS Policy - Restrict API access to your domain
6. Environment Variables - Never commit API keys to Git

---

🐛 Troubleshooting

Issue: Styles not loading

Solution: Ensure all CSS files are in the same directory as HTML files.

Issue: Stripe not working

Solution:

1. Check API key is correct
2. Check browser console for errors
3. Verify HTTPS (Stripe requires secure connection)

Issue: Mobile menu not working

Solution: Ensure script.js is loaded at the bottom of HTML file.

Issue: Forms not submitting

Solution: Check browser console. Update form action URLs to your backend.
