HOSTING / DEPLOYMENT
1. Correct the destination email in send-message.php before publishing. The supplied
   address `info@.mylifeconvert.com` appears malformed. It has deliberately been kept
   as a provisional value and the PHP handler will refuse to claim success until it
   is corrected. Do not launch the form without confirming the real mailbox.
2. Replace `YOUR-DOMAIN.example` in canonical tags, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml with
   the production HTTPS domain. Each page currently uses a placeholder canonical URL.
3. Upload the contents of this ZIP (not a nested enclosing folder) into the domain's
   `public_html` directory using Hostinger File Manager or FTP.
4. Confirm PHP is enabled on the hosting plan. Test with a verified recipient email.
   Host mail() behavior depends on the hosting provider's mail configuration. For
   production, use Hostinger-supported SMTP if available and store credentials outside
   the public web root; this package does not include SMTP credentials.
5. Replace the generic Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube placeholder destinations in
   index.html and the footer in the HTML pages with the actual Life Convert profile URLs.
6. Confirm the phone number and all contact details before publishing.
7. Test page navigation, form validation, submission success/failure, 404 behavior,
   mobile menu, portfolio filtering, and image loading on the live domain.
8. Run Lighthouse / PageSpeed Insights after deployment. No performance score is claimed
   because the deployed environment has not been measured in this build environment.

IMAGES AND EXTERNAL ASSETS
Photographs are loaded from stable Unsplash image CDN URLs and require an internet
connection in visitors' browsers. They have not been downloaded into this package because
outbound downloads were unavailable in the build environment. This also means the site
is not fully self-contained for photography. If you require a no-external-asset deployment,
download the relevant photographs from their Unsplash pages after checking the current
license and replace the CDN URLs in the HTML with local WebP files under assets/images/.
CSS loads DM Sans and Manrope from Google Fonts, with local system-font fallbacks.

FUNCTIONALITY NOTES
- Hero carousel, mobile navigation, category filters, project detail dialog, and reduced-motion
  handling are implemented in vanilla JavaScript.
- PHP performs server-side field validation and checks for a honeypot value. It uses the host's
  mail() facility after the recipient address is made valid. SMTP deliverability must be tested.
- Portfolio examples are explicitly identified as concept / practice work; no client outcomes,
  testimonials, awards, or performance metrics are fabricated.
- This package has been checked for expected files and internal page links. It has not been run
  on a Hostinger server, and the PHP mail handler cannot be verified without server configuration.
