This PR addresses significant desktop UI visual and layout issues that were affecting user experience on screens larger than 1024px, and adds comprehensive screenshot documentation for all website pages.

Desktop UI Fixes

The website was suffering from sparse layouts, imbalanced grid systems, and poor typography hierarchy that made the desktop experience feel disconnected and unprofessional.

Grid Layout Balance:
The homepage story sections were using imbalanced 5-column grids (lg:grid-cols-5) with asymmetric 2:3 and 3:2 content ratios, creating excessive whitespace and sparse layouts on desktop. These have been restructured to use balanced 3-column grids (lg:grid-cols-3) with more harmonious 1:2 and 2:1 ratios.

Typography Hierarchy:

  • Reduced oversized hero heading from lg:text-8xl to lg:text-7xl for better proportions
  • Changed section headings from faint font-light to more readable font-normal
  • Improved text contrast by darkening muted text color from #6b7280 to #5a5a5a

Spacing & Density:

  • Optimized section padding from fixed py-20 to responsive py-16 lg:py-20
  • Reduced excessive margins (e.g., mb-20 to mb-12 lg:mb-16)
  • Enhanced grid gaps with responsive spacing (gap-8 lg:gap-12)

Gallery Grid Enhancement:
Improved gallery layout from md:grid-cols-4 to responsive md:grid-cols-3 lg:grid-cols-4 with better spacing (gap-3 md:gap-4 lg:gap-6) making images more appropriately sized for desktop viewing.

Screenshot Documentation

Added comprehensive full-page screenshot collection in /client/screenshots/full-pages/ with:

  • All 9 website pages captured at desktop resolution (1440x900)
  • Complete coverage: Homepage, Events, Gallery, Live Stream, RSVP, Travel, Contact, Admin Login, and Admin Dashboard
  • Professional documentation in README.md detailing UI improvements and technical specifications
  • Playwright-based automated screenshot capture system for future updates

Technical Changes

  • Modified: src/app/page.tsx - Updated grid layouts and spacing for all story sections
  • Modified: src/app/globals.css - Enhanced muted text color for better contrast
  • Added: e2e/full-page-screenshots.spec.ts - Automated screenshot capture system
  • Added: screenshots/ directory structure with comprehensive documentation
  • Maintained: Full mobile responsiveness - no regressions on tablet/mobile layouts
  • Validated: All tests pass (30/30), successful builds, clean linting

The desktop experience now provides better visual hierarchy, balanced content distribution, and more efficient use of screen real estate while preserving the elegant wedding theme and mobile-first responsive design.

Fixes #70.
