B2BEA.org Rebuild intent
The current B2BEA.org site has accumulated useful product thinking but also design drift, page-specific CSS, inconsistent templates, and unclear separation between public, admin, member, vendor, and company-level surfaces.

| metric | target |
|---|---|
| artifact coverage | Current site inventory, surface model, content model, design system, page specs, and implementation plan exist as catalog artifacts before coding. |
| template reduction | Most public pages map to fewer than 10 reusable template families. |
| style ownership | No page-specific CSS for shared controls, cards, pills, forms, nav, tables, or page headers. |
| workflow readiness | Each authenticated surface has roles, permissions, states, and core workflows specified before build. |

Create a spec-first rebuild project that reverse-engineers the current site into reviewable artifacts, defines a hardened design system, and produces implementation-ready specs before coding the replacement site.

B2BEA.org Rebuild
Quiet, consistent, work-focused, credible, and fast. Public pages should feel editorial and polished; authenticated surfaces should feel like dependable operating software.
- One-off page CSS becoming the design system.
- Marketing-page composition leaking into admin or portal workflows.
- Design decisions made directly in templates without a reusable component contract.
- One shared foundation for typography, color, spacing, radius, elevation, fields, buttons, pills, cards, tables, nav, and responsive behavior.
- Every page maps to a named template and component set before implementation.
- Authenticated surfaces use app-grade patterns for tables, forms, status, permissions, audit trails, and empty/error states.
- Reverse-engineer current site
- Define surface model
- Define design system contracts
- Define page/template specs
- Define content/data model contracts
- Produce phased implementation plan
- Writing production rebuild code
- Changing current live-site behavior
- Final stack decision before artifacts clarify requirements
- No rebuild coding begins until core artifacts are drafted and reviewed.
- The design system is specified before page implementation.
- Public, admin, member, vendor, and practitioner company surfaces are treated as distinct surfaces with shared foundations.
- Current site content/data logic is reused only after audit; legacy CSS/template structure is not preserved by default.
- Acceptance criteria must be mechanically checkable wherever possible.

- A new site that still has page-specific style drift.
- A beautiful public site with weak admin/member/vendor workflows.
- A rebuild that copies the current IA without questioning it.
- A design system that is only colors and fonts, not component contracts and states.
