## Plugin Status
### Already Configured in OGB:
-`@payloadcms/plugin-form-builder` - Contact forms
-`@payloadcms/plugin-search` - Site search (currently posts only)
-`@payloadcms/plugin-nested-docs` - Hierarchical categories
-`@payloadcms/plugin-seo` - Meta tags
-`@payloadcms/plugin-redirects` - URL management
### To Enhance:
- Update `searchPlugin` collections when you add Projects/Speaking
---

### Strategic Documents:
- `PLAN_CONTINUOUS.md` - 7-phase development roadmap, strategic decisions
- `PLAN_TO_COMPLETION.md` - Content guide, implementation notes
- `src/collections/README.md` - Collection documentation
### Collection Templates (adapt for OGB):
- `src/collections/Products.ts` → Use for Projects

- `src/collections/Testimonials.ts` → Copy directly (for recommendations)
---
## Next Steps After Setup
1. **Fill minimal content** (grant compliance)
2. **Test accessibility** (WCAG 2.1 AA)
3. **Deploy to production**
4. **Submit to grant authority**
5. **Iterate and improve** (add more projects, blog posts, etc.)
---
## Git Repository
OGB has its own git repo at:
```bash
/home/oscar/daemez.io/x/ogb-solutions/.git
```
Create commits as you work:
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "Add enhanced Header/Footer from Daemez"
```
---
## Important Notes
1. **DON'T copy everything blindly** - Daemez is B2B corporate, OGB is personal
2. **Focus on grant requirements first** - Launch minimal, iterate later
3. **Reuse what works** - Header/Footer/Categories structure is universal
4. **Adapt the tone** - Less corporate, more personal
5. **Speed matters** - 2-day launch for grant, polish later
---
## Questions to Answer Before Starting
1. **Do you need multilingual?** (Grant says "if required by beneficiary")
2. **What's your primary CTA?** ("Hire Me", "View Resume", "Get in Touch"?)
3. **What projects to showcase?** (Pick 2-3 best ones for initial launch)
4. **Domain ready?** (Grant requires domain in your name for 12 months)
5. **Hosting ready?** (Where will you deploy?)
---
## Success Criteria (Grant Approval)
**Minimum 3 pages** (Homepage, About, Contact)
**Responsive design**
**Contact form working**
**Accessibility compliant** (WCAG 2.1 AA)
**Self-managed CMS** (PayloadCMS admin working)
**Basic SEO** (meta tags on 2+ pages)
**Sitemap generated**
**Domain registered** (12 months in your name)
**Hosting active**
---
## Contact
If you need to reference the Daemez project, it's in the same parent directory:
```bash
Daemez: /home/oscar/daemez.io/x/daemez.solutions
OGB: /home/oscar/daemez.io/x/ogb-solutions
```
Both use the same development patterns, just different content strategies.
