SEO (all 201 pages, en/mk/si):
- Inject canonical, hreflang (en/mk/sl + x-default), Open Graph, Twitter
cards and Organization JSON-LD via idempotent SEO:START/END block
- Generate multilingual sitemap.xml (xhtml:link alternates) + robots.txt
- Curated meta descriptions for lead-less pages (home, become-a-member,
faq, news hub, my-route); every page now has a description
- Absolute URLs target final domain msosorg.com, not the temp host
- Add reusable tools/seo_inject.py (+ README)
Content fixes:
- Translate about-us and timeline-and-milestones into MK + SI, wire up
their pages, and repair the previously-dead "Who We Are" nav links
across all mk/si pages
- Remove duplicate en/projects/makedonska-studentska-vecer-vo-ljubljana
(unreferenced; already covered by macedonian-student-night-in-ljubljana)
Locale correctness:
- Normalise Slovene pages to <html lang="sl"> (correct ISO 639-1)
- Map sl->si in main.js so the language-switcher highlight and newsletter
i18n keep working on Slovene pages (data-lang="si" still maps to /si/)
MK/SI translations and descriptions are AI-drafted; flag for native review.

Navigation
- Replace "Donate" with a "Support MSOS ❤️" CTA site-wide
- Remove dead nav links (Gallery, Press releases)
- Turn the one-item News dropdown into a direct link
Homepage
- Replace the non-functional "Become part" contact form with a
"Find your people in Slovenia" join CTA (blue/white gradient band,
orange button, photo collage), in all three languages
- Fix the placeholder Activities subtitle
- Redesign Activities into card-style tabs with icons; move per-tab
content into HTML panels and switch by index so the tabs work in
every language (MK/SI tabs were previously dead)
Newsletter (MailerLite)
- Add the subscribe block to the News hub, news articles, and every
events/projects page and hub, in all three languages
- Resize/rebalance the block, shrink the privacy line, add top spacing
- Standardise on honest copy (drop the "2,000+ subscribers" claim)
- Load main.js on the News hub pages (they shipped without it, so the
form and header dropdowns didn't work there)
- Fix a dead privacy-policy link on the makedonska-vecer page
- Document the signup convention in docs/newsletter-signup.md

The "Get Involved" dropdown (Become a member / Support MSOS) had dead href="#"
links and only duplicated the two top-right buttons (Become a member, Donate).
Removed it site-wide (desktop + mobile, en/si/mk) - 390 blocks across 195 pages,
including the privacy-policy header the generators slice from, so regeneration
stays clean. Nav is now Who We Are / What We Do / For Students / News + the two
pill buttons.

Mobile fixes (article, guide, get-to-know, projects pages):
- Remove duplicate main.js include site-wide. footer.js emitted a
<script src=main.js> inside the footer block while pages also load one
before </body>, so DOMContentLoaded ran twice and every tap toggled the
mobile menu / article TOC twice (net no-op). Menu and TOC only worked on
the homepage. Now exactly one main.js per page, before </body>.
- Kill horizontal overflow: add overflow-x: clip to html/body (clips the
off-canvas mobile nav panel without breaking position: sticky, unlike
overflow-x: hidden).
- Reset align-items to stretch in the mobile .article-layout-container
rule; the desktop flex-start made .article-container size to max-content
width in a column flexbox and overflow the viewport.
Membership form hardening (Become a Member):
- Honeypot field + localStorage cooldown (30s gap, max 3/24h) + stronger
email regex; trilingual cooldown alert message.
- Apps Script (setup doc): per-email auto-reply dedupe + daily send cap;
applicant reply is a plain thank-you that never echoes submitted answers.
- Draft HTML welcome email (email-welcome-preview.html) for later use.

New trilingual /<lang>/become-a-member/ conversion page: hero with real-photo collage, why-join benefits, animated MSOS-in-numbers, ways to participate, membership-in-real-life and projects showcase (real project photos), testimonials, who-can-join, an adaptive multi-step form (student + supporter flows, conditional fields, progress, personalised messages, validation, success screen), FAQ and final CTA. Site-wide 'Become a member' buttons now link here. Form posts to a Google Form once wired; metrics/testimonials are placeholders to confirm.

New /<lang>/news/ hub aggregates real projects (title+image read from their pages), placeholder news announcements, and blog items, newest-first with type badges and a type filter. Homepage Latest news now shows the newest dated items as badged cards with a working See all to the hub; the News menu link points there too. Dates in news.js are placeholders to replace with real publish dates.

Remove 'Mentorship Programme' and 'Open calls' from the menus, rename 'Announcements' to 'News and Announcements', and wire the Blog link. Add a trilingual /<lang>/blog/ page with a distinct look: featured strip, client-side topic filters, and a masonry card wall with colour-coded tags (placeholder posts for now).

Replace em/en dashes with commas (or 'to' for number ranges, keeping the euro sign) across the FAQ, home, timeline and project pages; hyphens in compound words are left intact. Increase .faq-hero top padding so the eyebrow/title clear the fixed 80px header.

New /<lang>/faq/ page (en/si/mk) with categorised accordion Q&A that link into the Student Welcome Guide, plus a contact/Viber block. Nav 'FAQs' links and 'See all FAQs' buttons across the site now point to it.

Flags: replace flag-icons CDN with local SVGs (images/flags/{gb,si,mk}.svg) referenced as CSS backgrounds, so no external dependency and no per-page path issues. Partners: replace the static home-page logo row with a seamless auto-scrolling, hover-pausing marquee (CSS-only, reduced-motion aware, edge fade).

Desktop dropdown and mobile modal now show circular country flags (flag-icons) with clean language names and an active-language highlight, driven by the page lang via main.js.

Add legal name, real social links (FB/IG/LinkedIn/YouTube), clickable email, guide and section navigation, and 2026 copyright. All links depth-correct per page and translated per language.

Launch the two country sections as a cultural bridge, following the
approved Phase A spec and reusing the Events & Projects structure.
Hubs (6 pages, EN/SI/MK each):
- get-to-know-slovenia and get-to-know-macedonia
- Section header + newsletter form, 6-category filter (Places & Nature,
Culture & Traditions, Food & Flavours, History & Heritage,
People & Identity), 6 launch cards, empty state, client-side pagination.
- Five cards per hub link to articles that arrive in later batches.
Articles (6 pages, EN/SI/MK each):
- Welcome to Slovenia and Welcome to Macedonia, full text with the
auto-generated table of contents and sticky mobile header.
- Real, sourced images with attribution captions (place, photographer,
source link). Wikimedia photos also link the CC BY-SA licence and note
that the image was cropped. Images center-cropped to a uniform 3:2 and
downscaled. Each article's hero image is reused on its hub card.
Site-wide:
- Wire the For Students menu links (desktop and mobile) to the new hubs on
every page and in the header templates; rename the menu label from
North Macedonia to Macedonia (formal name kept in body content).
- Placeholder styles for images and cards still awaiting a sourced photo.
- Add caption styling for the hero image and give the article table of
contents clear separation from the footer.
