Featured Project Case Study - Image Fix Complete

Issue Resolved

Fixed missing/broken image in the "Featured Project: The Numbers Don't Lie" case study card on the homepage.

Problem

The left image slot for the Boca Raton barrel tile case study was blank/broken because:

  1. Image path was incorrect: /all-phase-customer-luxury-home-boca-raton.jpg
  2. Actual image was in /social-proof/ folder with uppercase .JPG extension
  3. No aerial/drone tile roof image was being used

Solution

1. Added New Drone Tile Roof Image

  • File: /public/projects/featured-tile-roof-drone.jpg (1.5 MB)
  • Description: Aerial drone view of completed tile roof installation
  • Usage: Boca Raton barrel tile case study (Case Study #1)

2. Fixed Image Paths in CaseStudy Component

Case Study #1 (Boca Raton Barrel Tile):

  • Before: /all-phase-customer-luxury-home-boca-raton.jpg ❌ (broken)
  • After: /projects/featured-tile-roof-drone.jpg ✅ (new drone image)
  • Alt Text: "Aerial drone view of completed barrel tile roof replacement in Boca Raton, FL - All Phase Construction"

Case Study #2 (Fort Lauderdale Shingle):

  • Before: /all-phase-customer-shingle-roof-south-florida.jpg ❌ (wrong path)
  • After: /social-proof/all-phase-customer-shingle-roof-south-florida.jpg ✅ (correct path)
  • Alt Text: "Robert M. Fort Lauderdale shingle roof replacement"

3. Updated Vite Build Configuration

Added projects directory copying to vite.config.ts (lines 83-103):

// Copy projects directory recursively
const projectsSrc = path.resolve(publicDir, 'projects');
const projectsDest = path.resolve(distDir, 'projects');
if (fs.existsSync(projectsSrc)) {
  if (!fs.existsSync(projectsDest)) {
    fs.mkdirSync(projectsDest, { recursive: true });
  }
  const projectsFiles = fs.readdirSync(projectsSrc);
  projectsFiles.forEach(file => {
    const src = path.resolve(projectsSrc, file);
    const dest = path.resolve(projectsDest, file);
    try {
      if (fs.statSync(src).isFile()) {
        fs.copyFileSync(src, dest);
        console.log(`Copied projects/${file}`);
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.warn(`Skipped projects/${file}: ${error.message}`);
    }
  });
}
