+# Wizdom Networks - Project Transfer Summary
+
+## **Overview**
+This document provides a **comprehensive project summary** to ensure a **smooth transition** into a new chat. It captures all **current development progress, architectural decisions, and pending tasks** to allow seamless continuation of work using an uploaded compressed Git repository.
+
+---
+
+## **1️⃣ Project Scope & Goals**
+- **Website:** Wizdom Networks IT consulting and services platform.
+- **Architecture:** PHP MVC framework using **Nginx + MariaDB**.
+- **Design Based On:** `focus.wise1.net` for UI structure and layout.
+- **Development Stack:**
+  - **Backend:** PHP 7.4.33, MVC pattern with controllers handling logic and `View.php` handling rendering.
+  - **Frontend:** Bootstrap 5+, modular CSS structure, and interactive UI elements.
+  - **Utilities:** `Logger.php`, `ErrorHandler.php`, `View.php` for structured logging, error handling, and rendering.
+  - **Testing:** PHPUnit-based unit tests integrated for controllers and views.
+  - **Version Control:** Gitea repository is the **source of truth** for the latest stable code.
+
+---
+
+## **2️⃣ Key Architectural Decisions & Standards**
+### **🔹 MVC Structure**
+- **Controllers handle business logic & pass data to views.**
+- **Views are purely presentational and rendered via `View.php`.**
+- **Router dispatches requests to the correct controllers dynamically.**
+
+### **🔹 Modular UI Components**
+- **Hero & Slider Sections:** Fully configurable and dynamic.
+- **Header & Footer:** Conditionally included in views.
+- **CSS Files:** Separated into modular stylesheets (hero.css, slider.css, main.css).
+
+### **🔹 Logging & Debugging**
+- **Logger.php** handles `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `ERROR`, `CRITICAL` logs.
+- **ErrorHandler.php** ensures robust exception handling.
+- **Debug logging integrated into controllers, views, and core utilities.**
+
+### **🔹 Unit Testing Integration**
+- **Controllers & Utilities** have PHPUnit test cases.
+- **Views are validated for rendering correctness.**
+- **Error handling is tested under various failure scenarios.**
+
+---
+
+## **3️⃣ Development Progress & Completed Tasks**
+### ✅ **Controller Refactoring Completed**
+- Migrated from **old service-based rendering** to **MVC controllers**.
+- `View.php` is used for **all page rendering**.
+- Controllers fully integrate logging & debugging.
+
+### ✅ **Refactored View Structure**
+- All pages now follow the **controller-based rendering approach**.
+- **Services pages now reside in `/resources/views/pages/services/*.php`**.
+
+### ✅ **Refactored `Router.php` & `index.php`**
+- Router correctly dispatches **controllers instead of service classes**.
+- `index.php` only loads **controller routes** (no direct service references).
+
+### ✅ **Refactored `View.php`**
+- `View::render()` is the **only method used for rendering views**.
+- Logger debug tracking added to **trace view rendering issues**.
+
+### ✅ **Development Plan Document Implemented**
+- Tracks **task status, start & completion times, and progress updates**.
+- Maintains **a structured changelog** for easy tracking.
+
+---
+
+## **4️⃣ Outstanding Tasks & Pending Work**
+### 🚧 **Task 1: Finalize Hero & Slider Configurations** *(In Progress)*
+- Ensure hero images & sliders render correctly **per-page**.
+- Enable **dynamic hero/slider configurations** in controllers.
+- Test **various configurations** for modular flexibility.
+
+### 🚧 **Task 2: Expand Unit Test Coverage** *(Not Started)*
+- Improve tests for **controller logic, view rendering, and UI components**.
+- Validate **dynamic hero & slider loading configurations**.
+- Test error handling for **missing view files, invalid routes, and exceptions**.
+
+### 🚧 **Task 3: Refactor Additional UI Components** *(Not Started)*
+- Standardize **remaining UI elements (forms, navigation, sidebar, etc.)**.
+- Ensure proper **modular stylesheet loading**.
+
+### 🚧 **Task 4: Update UI Design Document** *(Not Started)*
+- Document **all recent changes** after implementing hero/slider.
+- Refine UI structure documentation for **future development**.
+
+---
+
+## **5️⃣ Next Steps**
+1️⃣ **Set up the new chat and upload the compressed Git repository.**
+2️⃣ **Ensure all controllers, views, and router files from the repo are correctly loaded.**
+3️⃣ **Continue debugging hero/slider configurations and verifying correct rendering.**
+4️⃣ **Expand unit testing & finalize UI refactoring.**
+
+This document serves as the baseline reference for continuing development in the new chat. 🚀
