# Queue North Website
## Objective
Queue North Website is the modern rebuild of the Queue North Technologies business website.
The goal is to replace the current static early-2000s-style HTML/CSS/JS site with a polished 2026 business website that clearly presents Queue North as a trustworthy communications, contact center, networking, and managed support partner.
The site should feel:
- Bright and professional
- Modern but not flashy
- Business-first, not cyber/gaming/crypto
- Easy to navigate
- Clear about Queue North's 8x8 partnership and service expertise
- Optimized for consultation and support request conversion
## Target Stack
- **Vite** — build tool, not Next.js
- **React** — SPA frontend
- **React Router** — client-side routing
- **Tailwind CSS** — utility-first styling
- **shadcn/ui** — component primitives
- **Sonner** — toast notifications
- **TanStack Query** — server state management
- **Express** — backend API
- **better-sqlite3** — SQLite database
## Layout Direction
The design direction is a light-first B2B technology layout with strategic dark navy sections.
Primary structure:
1. **Hero**
- Dark navy section
- Clear headline and value proposition
- Primary CTA: `Request Consultation`
- Secondary CTA: `Explore Services`
- Trust chips: 8x8 Certified Partner, Veteran Owned, 25+ Years Experience, SMB to Enterprise
2. **Trust / Certification Bar**
- Light section
- Reinforces 8x8 partner credibility
3. **Services Preview**
- White cards on a bright background
- Concise service explanations
- Links to service detail pages
4. **Why Queue North**
- Three-pillar section:
- Architecture
- Deployment
- Lifecycle Support
5. **Industries**
- Healthcare
- Retail
- Manufacturing
- Education & Finance
6. **Final CTA**
- Dark navy conversion band
- Consultation-focused message

## Backend Goals
Initial API endpoints:
