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
