# AI Growth Technologies — website

Next.js 16 (App Router) site for aigrowthtechnologies.com.

## Local development

```bash
npm ci
npm run dev          # http://localhost:3000
```

## Environment variables

Copy `.env.example` to `.env.production` (or `.env.local` for development) and fill it in.

| Variable | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `RESEND_API_KEY` | yes | Resend key with sending access to `aigrowthtechnologies.com`. Without it the contact form shows an error. |
| `CONTACT_FROM` | yes | Sender, on the domain verified in Resend: `AI Growth Website <hello@aigrowthtechnologies.com>` |
| `CONTACT_TO` | no | Inbox that receives enquiries; separate several with commas. Defaults to `rey@aigrowth360.io`. |
| `CAPTCHA_SECRET` | no | Signs the contact form's "I'm not a robot" challenges (a self-hosted proof of work, no third-party account). Without it a random secret is used per process, which only matters across restarts. |

## Deploying to a VPS

Requirements: Node.js 20.9 or newer (22 LTS recommended), npm, nginx, and a process manager such as pm2.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/AlejandroVeras/aigrowth-website.git
cd aigrowth-website
cp .env.example .env.production   # then edit it
npm ci
npm run build
pm2 start npm --name aigrowth-website -- start -- -p 3000
pm2 save && pm2 startup           # restart on reboot
```

To update later:

```bash
git pull && npm ci && npm run build && pm2 restart aigrowth-website
```

### nginx

Put nginx in front of the Node server and turn off buffering so streamed pages arrive progressively:

```nginx
server {
    server_name aigrowthtechnologies.com www.aigrowthtechnologies.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3000;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_buffering off;
    }
}
```

Then issue HTTPS with `sudo certbot --nginx -d aigrowthtechnologies.com -d www.aigrowthtechnologies.com`.

### DNS

At Hostinger, point the `A` records for `@` and `www` to the VPS IP. Leave the MX records (Titan email) and the Resend
records (`send`, `resend._domainkey`) as they are.

## Languages

The site is served in English (`/`), Spanish (`/es`) and Arabic (`/ar`, right to left). `src/proxy.ts` maps the
unprefixed English URLs onto `app/[lang]`. Interface strings live in `src/i18n/ui/`, homepage copy in
`src/content/home/`, and content pages in `src/content/pages/<locale>/`.

## Content

Inner pages are generated from the Word copy decks:

```bash
python3 -E scripts/convert-docs.py "<folder with the .docx files>"
```

This rewrites `src/content/pages/en/*.json`. The homepage (`src/app/[lang]/page.tsx`) is written by hand.

Translations keep the English structure. `python3 -E scripts/i18n.py extract <dir>` writes the strings to translate,
`python3 -E scripts/i18n.py apply <es|ar> <dir>` writes the translated pages, and
`python3 -E scripts/i18n.py index` regenerates `src/content/pages/index.ts`.
