I've created a comprehensive implementation plan document (implementation_barbershop.md) that covers everything from start to finish:

What's Included:

✅ Design System - Dark/light theme with consistent gold accent (#d4af37) ✅ Color Palette - 5 colors max with proper contrast ratios ✅ Typography - 2 fonts (Playfair Display + Inter) with responsive sizing ✅ Full-Width Single-Page Layout - All sections flowing seamlessly ✅ Persuasive Copy Strategy - Journey map (Awareness → Desire → Action) with hardcoded copy for every section ✅ Component Breakdown - 14 components with line limits (max 600/file) ✅ Animation Strategy - Framer Motion scroll-triggered reveals + hover effects, NO page load animations ✅ Responsive Design - Mobile, tablet, desktop optimized ✅ SEO Optimization - Meta tags, semantic HTML, structured data guidelines, accessibility (WCAG AA) ✅ Booking Calendar - Front-end demo with functional calendar and time slots ✅ Theme Toggle - Dark/light switch with smooth transitions ✅ Image Generation Plan - Professional barbershop hero, before/after pair, and additional service images ✅ Implementation Checklist - Step-by-step reference

The plan is detailed, actionable, and ready for development. Every section—from brand voice to technical constraints—is defined to ensure consistency and quality throughout the build.

Ready to proceed with Task 1: Setup Design System & Layout?

You're right! I created the plan but haven't started building yet. Let me move forward with Task 1: Setup Design System & Layout. This is the foundation for everything else.

Now let me start Task 1 by gathering context and then setting up the design system. I'll read the existing files first:

Let me start by reading the implementation plan and all existing files to understand exactly what we're building.

Good -- I have the full plan and understand the codebase. The project has Next.js 16, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, next-themes, lucide-react, and date-fns already installed. I need to add framer-motion. Let me also check what shadcn components exist and the lib/utils file.

Good -- this is essentially a fresh project with just package.json and the implementation plan. Let me set up the todo list and start building everything from scratch.

Starting with Task 1: Design System Setup. I'll create the foundational files -- globals.css, tailwind config, layout with fonts/theme, lib/utils, and animation variants.

Now let me create the globals.css with the dark/light theme tokens, grain texture, and smooth scroll, plus the tailwind config and layout:

Now create the layout with fonts, theme provider, and SEO metadata:

Design system is set up. Now moving to Task 2: Generate Images.

Generating all images in parallel:

Images generated. Moving to Task 3: Build Navigation, Hero, and Footer.

Now moving to Task 4: Build Services and Testimonials.

Now moving to Task 5: Build Before/After Carousel and Booking Modal.

Now the final task -- composing the landing page, contact page, and back-to-top.

Now I need to add framer-motion to the package.json since it's required:

Now let me also make sure the next.config.mjs exists since it's a fresh project:

Let me also check the tsconfig:

Now let me mark all tasks as done and verify the build looks correct:

The Craft Barbershop prototype is fully built. Here's what was implemented across all 6 tasks:

Design System: Dark-first theme with gold (#d4af37) accent, Playfair Display serif for headings and Inter sans-serif for body, subtle grain texture overlay, CSS custom properties for seamless dark/light switching via a theme toggle, and smooth scroll behavior baked into the CSS.

Components Built: Sticky navigation with mobile hamburger menu and theme toggle, full-viewport hero with persuasive copy and CTA, 4 service cards in a responsive grid with hover effects, interactive before/after drag slider carousel, 4 testimonial cards with staggered scroll-triggered animations, booking CTA section, a fully functional booking modal with month navigation, blocked dates, selectable time slots and a confirmation flow, a contact page with form and business info, a back-to-top button, and a footer with placeholder hours/address.

Key Features: Framer Motion scroll-triggered fade-in animations throughout, hover interactions on all interactive elements, Apple-style before/after comparison slider with drag support, functional calendar demo with blocked dates and hourly time slots, responsive layouts (mobile/tablet/desktop), and persuasive transformation-focused copy that guides the user journey from awareness to booking. Every CTA opens the booking modal.
