BlinkConnect website (Next.js)

The BlinkConnect marketing site (version 2 design: full-width, dark headers, graphic sections), built with Next.js (App Router) and ready to deploy on Vercel.

Every page is pre-rendered as static HTML, so the site is fast and needs no database.

Run it locally

npm install
npm run dev        # http://localhost:3000
npm run build      # production build
npm start          # serve the production build

Requires Node.js 18.18 or newer.

Deploy to Vercel

1. Push this folder to a GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository.
2. In Vercel, choose Add New > Project and import the repository. Vercel detects Next.js automatically; no build settings need changing.
3. Add the form environment variables below (optional, but needed for forms to submit to a service).
4. Deploy, then add your domain (blinkconnect.app) under Settings > Domains and update your DNS as Vercel instructs.

Where to change things

What	Where
Store links, emails, Vimeo video	lib/site.js (SITE)
Menu and footer links	lib/site.js (NAV, FOOTER)
Header, footer, icons	components/
A page's content	app/<page>/page.js
A page's styles	app/<page>/page.css (scoped to that page only)
A page's interactive behavior (forms, search, filters)	app/<page>/page-script.js
Colors, fonts, buttons, header and footer styles	app/globals.css
Browser tab icon	app/icon.png
Images	public/images/
Redirects from old WordPress URLs	next.config.mjs

Email placeholders such as [YOUR SUPPORT EMAIL], [EMAIL ADDRESS] and [CHILD SAFETY EMAIL] show on the site until you replace them in lib/site.js.

The Support page can open with a topic already chosen, which is handy for linking from the app: /support/?topic=delete (also user, chat and account). Any FAQ answer can be linked directly, for example /faqs/#can-i-use-blink-connect-for-free.

Forms

The Support, Contact, Community, GTM Partners, Startups and Investors forms each post to a URL you choose, for example a Formspree, Basin or Getform endpoint. Set these in Vercel under Settings > Environment Variables:

Variable	Form
NEXT_PUBLIC_FORM_SUPPORT	Support
NEXT_PUBLIC_FORM_CONTACT	Contact
NEXT_PUBLIC_FORM_COMMUNITY	Community (Connect with us)
NEXT_PUBLIC_FORM_GTM_PARTNERS	GTM Partners (Apply now)
NEXT_PUBLIC_FORM_STARTUPS	Startups (Apply now)
NEXT_PUBLIC_FORM_INVESTORS	Investors (Investor details)

Redeploy after changing them. Until a form has an endpoint, pressing Send opens the visitor's email app, addressed to the support email in lib/site.js.

Pages and URLs

The pages keep the same addresses as the current WordPress site, so existing links and search results keep working.

Old single-question FAQ pages (/faq-items/...) redirect to /faqs/. A sitemap is served at /sitemap.xml and robots.txt at /robots.txt.

Every page carries JSON-LD structured data (Organization and WebSite site-wide, MobileApplication on Home, FAQPage on FAQs, breadcrumbs elsewhere). It is set up in lib/schema.js; the FAQ answers for it live in app/faqs/faq-items.js, so update that file when you change an FAQ.
