# Homepage Update Summary

## Overview
The homepage has been updated to match the exact design from `rmb-exchange (3).html` while maintaining all Laravel functionality.

## Changes Made

### 1. Design
- Copied the complete design from `rmb-exchange (3).html`
- Maintained the exact layout, styling, and structure
- Orange and blue color scheme
- Sora and DM Sans fonts
- All sections: Top Bar, Hero, Stats, How It Works, About, Testimonials, CTA, Footer

### 2. Branding Updates
- Changed "RMBXchange" to "Flat Line" throughout
- Updated logo to use `RMBXchange-Photoroom.png` image
- Adjusted messaging for GHS to CNY exchange (instead of CNY to GHS)

### 3. Laravel Integration
- **Exchange Rate**: Uses `{{ $rate }}` variable from controller
- **Routes**: All links use Laravel route helpers
  - `route('home')` - Homepage
  - `route('login')` - Login page
  - `route('exchange')` - Exchange page
  - `route('dashboard')` - Dashboard
  - `route('page.show', 'slug')` - CMS pages
- **Dynamic Year**: Footer uses `{{ date('Y') }}`
- **Calculator**: JavaScript uses Laravel rate variable

### 4. Calculator Functionality
```javascript
const rate = {{ $rate }};
function calc() {
  const sendAmt = parseFloat(document.getElementById('sendAmt').value) || 0;
  const recvAmt = sendAmt * rate;
  document.getElementById('recvAmt').value = recvAmt.toFixed(2);
}
```

### 5. Navigation Links
- Home → `{{ route('home') }}`
- Log In → `{{ route('login') }}`
- Get Started → `{{ route('exchange') }}`
- Help Center → `{{ route('page.show', 'help-center') }}`
- Track Transfer → `{{ route('dashboard') }}`
- FAQ → `{{ route('page.show', 'faq') }}`
- Contact → `{{ route('page.show', 'contact-us') }}`
