This updates the public site to position Runlevel Systems as a software and systems company first, while tightening customer flow from discovery to project request. It replaces the old top-level nav/service split with a clearer structure, adds a dedicated Start Project intake path, and moves portfolio content out of the primary navigation.

  • Navigation and site structure

    • Replaced the main navigation with: Home, Software, Dev+1, Products, Start Project, Dashboard
    • Removed Simulation, Hosting, Mods, Projects, Contact, and Pricing from the main nav
    • Expanded the footer into a sitemap-style directory for capabilities, products, projects, work-with-us links, dashboard access, and legal pages
  • Project intake / request flow

    • Added start-project.php as the primary intake page for quotes, ideas, support requests, and new project submissions
    • Captures structured request details including request type, problem statement, existing assets, budget range, timeline, and contact preference
    • Saves submissions into the existing request pipeline via project request storage
    • Redirected legacy estimate.php traffic to the new Start Project entry point
    • Added plain-English pricing-range guidance and payment-flow explanation directly on the page
  • Service positioning

    • Reworked software.php around capability areas instead of named projects
    • Moved Training & Simulation into Software as a major section rather than a separate top-level destination
    • Refreshed design-debug-deploy.php to present Dev+1 as augmentation/rescue/deployment support, with Runlevel Tools as the shared delivery workspace
  • Products and portfolio

    • Reframed products.php around platforms and product examples: Runlevel Tools, GSP Panel, GameServers.World, and PureOPS
    • Restored projects.php as a hidden portfolio index reachable from footer/product links instead of primary navigation
    • Added individual unlisted portfolio pages for:
      • Pure Storage Training Simulator
      • Roadkill
      • Neverwards
      • Mystical Islands
  • Supporting pages

    • Updated game-server-panel.php to align GSP messaging with open-source hosting/service management and commercial support entry points
    • Reworked payments.php to reflect the actual request → review → estimate/proposal → payment/start-work flow
  • Shared presentation

    • Extended assets/css/coreloop.css with shared layouts for the sitemap footer, request form, pricing cards, and project detail pages
    • Tightened mobile section/card layout to improve separation, scanability, and button spacing without changing the site’s visual identity

Example of the new primary navigation structure:

<ul class="core-nav-links">
    <li><a href="<?= $base_path; ?>index.php">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="<?= $base_path; ?>software.php">Software</a></li>
    <li><a href="<?= $base_path; ?>design-debug-deploy.php">Dev+1</a></li>
    <li><a href="<?= $base_path; ?>products.php">Products</a></li>
    <li><a href="<?= $base_path; ?>start-project.php">Start Project</a></li>
    <li><a href="<?= $base_path; ?>dashboard.php">Dashboard</a></li>
</ul>
