Phase 1
Engagement tracks
Services page now reads collection-backed cards instead of route-local placeholders.
Public site shell
A credible front door for visa guidance, not another scaffold splash screen.
Phase 1 now ships with real site chrome, route placeholders, and typed local content so the public surface can evolve in place while Payload models and operational flows continue behind the scenes.
Coverage
Country direction
Country listings are driven by Payload records and can evolve without UI rewrites.
Content
Editorial runway
The blog route now reads published posts and their dates from Payload.
Conversion
Lead capture
Contact details are sourced from Site Settings while lead submission stays out of scope.
Services
Featured service tracks
Homepage service cards come from `services`, preferring featured records before the first four by order.
Featured services will appear here once published in Payload.
Countries
Highlighted destinations
Highlighted countries come from the `countries` collection and fall back to the first six by order.
Highlighted countries will appear here once published in Payload.
Trust
Recent client proof
Homepage trust proof comes from `testimonials`, preferring featured records before the first three by order.
Featured testimonials will appear here once published in Payload.

Phase 1 operating shape
Container rhythm, navigation, and route scaffolding are now stable.
Container rhythm, navigation, and route scaffolding are defined once and reused across the public surface.
- 1
Read Payload records
Server-side loaders fetch page, collection, navigation, and settings content without HTTP hops.
- 2
Map into view models
Business logic reshapes CMS records into stable route and shell props before UI rendering.
- 3
Render the public shell
Pages and components consume typed props while remaining decoupled from Payload internals.
Journal
Latest editorial updates
Latest homepage stories come from `posts`, sorted by `publishedAt` in descending order.
Latest journal entries will appear here once published in Payload.
