History — Linc-Website

Chronological narrative of work in this repo / on linc.co.za. Most recent themes first.

Team grid — McKayla Tomas added (2026-09-03)

  • Added McKayla Tomas as a sixth card on the last row of the team <section> in index.html, after Johan Smuts, with photo assets/images/team/team-mckayla.jpg.
  • Photo conventions confirmed by inspection: every team photo is a 500×500 JPEG, roughly 50–200 KB, head-and-shoulders. The source was already 500×500 so no crop/resize was needed.
  • The team cards carry a name only — no job titles. Do not add one when adding a member.
  • Branch team/mckayla-tomas → PR #32, squash-merged into master by Attie on 2026-09-03; branch deleted and the Pages build succeeded. The last row now holds six cards where every other full row holds five, so Bulma renders that row’s cards narrower than the rest of the grid — shipped as-is; whether to reflow into a sixth row is still Attie’s call.

Audit-questions documentation update (cloud/SaaS-first rewrite)

  • The Business Central security audit questions document (audit-questions.md, which builds to audit-questions.html) was rewritten to reflect Linc’s current hosting reality: Linc no longer offers its own hosted environment; the vast majority of clients are on Microsoft’s Business Central SaaS cloud, with only a small handful privately hosted.
  • Changes applied: copyright year updated to 2026; the three-column hosting model (Cloud / Linc Hosted / Private) collapsed to two columns (Cloud as the default first, On-premises / Privately Hosted as secondary); the Linc-hosted section and the Excel download link were removed entirely; “Azure AD” / “Office365” terminology replaced with “Entra ID (Microsoft 365)” throughout; the password-settings row changed so the Cloud answer defers to the client’s Entra ID tenant policy; the Backup Management “Cloud” answer expanded with current Microsoft specifics (28-day retention, point-in-time restore, 14-day deleted-environment recovery window, geo-redundant backups, 99.9% SLA) plus a second reference link to the admin center backup/restore docs.
  • Referenced Microsoft Learn documentation links were verified as still valid.

Homepage / brand redesign exploration

  • A visual redesign exploration of the linc.co.za homepage was done, with the existing Linc logo and its palette as the strict design bible and an enterprise-trustworthy / Microsoft-aligned brand feel. The homepage was treated as the anchor asset for a broader design system (also intended to inform letterhead and proposal templates).
  • The canonical palette was extracted directly from the logo and site CSS: primary cyan #009bc2, logo highlight #00aeef, deep cyan #067b9e, muted steel-cyan #69b0c6, and a whisper-level gold accent #c49a6c.
  • A working HTML homepage mockup was produced (Sora + Inter typefaces, dark ink hero, a “connective rail” motif derived from the logo’s bar geometry, services/solutions/metrics/CTA structure), with screenshots rendered for visual self-review.
  • Key correction: the first pass wrongly pulled colours/framing from the sub-brands (ProduceLinc, WineLinc, CommLinc). It was normalised back to the four canonical linc.co.za cyans, gold demoted to a single hairline accent, the sub-brand-specific hero replaced with a neutral Implement → Extend → Support panel, and per-app accent colours stripped from the solutions grid so all cards use a single brand cyan.
  • suggested: This was an exploration; it is not clear how much (if any) landed in the committed index.html.

Analytics / tracking audit

  • The tracking setup across linc.co.za and producelinc.io was audited. At the time, both sites had only a LinkedIn Insight Tag (linc.co.za partner ID 6706090) and no Google Analytics deployed — GA4 properties existed in Google’s console (“Linc - GA4” G-E7E2CPRBN9 / GT-5MRP9PB; “ProduceLinc - GA4” G-X821NVPRC3 / GT-NCLZGPM) but the gtag snippets had never been added to the pages (or were lost in a rebuild). A colleague, Caileen, was identified as the likely person who originally set up the LinkedIn tag and the GA4 properties.
  • Ready-to-paste gtag snippets were provided. Current state of the repo: the GA4 snippet for G-E7E2CPRBN9 is now present at the top of _includes/linc_head.html, so GA is deployed site-wide — the gap identified in that audit has since been closed.
