What's New

Added

• "Enquiry" button alongside "Make a referral" in the header
• Resume, cover letter and support work type fields on the support-work application form

Changed

• "Employment" tab now shows our own support-work openings - generic roles, with pay rates and specific locations no longer shown
• "Gigs" replaced with "support work" everywhere on the site
• Header now spans the full page width instead of being capped, fixing a squashed layout in the navigation
• Admin notification emails redesigned to match the site's branding, with a filename note for anything attached to an application or referral

Removed

• NDIS Employment Support page and its two related stories, for now (hidden, not deleted)

Changed

• Dropdown selects throughout the site (Enquiry, Add a Review and Make a Referral forms) are now easier to use - searchable when there are lots of options, and support picking more than one where relevant
• Refreshed photography on the home page, Employment page and Personal Care & Grooming service with real, representative photos in place of generic stock images

Fixed

• Personal Care & Grooming photo no longer crops awkwardly on wide screens
• Submenus in the main navigation can now be closed with the Escape key or by clicking outside them, not just by moving the mouse away

Added

• Employment Support page - help finding and keeping work, building skills and confidence, and support once you're hired
• "Get Started" and "Vacancies" pages explaining how Employment Support works and the kinds of roles we help with
• High Intensity Supports service - PEG feeding, respiratory support, seizure management and complex wound care
• Four new stories, including a Q&A with our Support Coordinator
• An "Enquiry" button alongside "Make a referral" on the home page

Changed

• Home page wording refreshed throughout - headline, intro and more
• "Gigs" tab renamed to "Employment" and rebuilt around NDIS Employment Support
• "Make a Report" renamed to "Make a Complaint"
• Stories tab relabelled "Progress notes", with a wider mix of story dates
• Reviews refreshed with newer feedback and a named Support Coordinator

Fixed

• Personal Care & Grooming photo no longer loses important detail when it's cropped on smaller screens
• Chat assistant now correctly answers questions about High Intensity Supports
• Contact email is now consistent everywhere across the site

Removed

• "My Account" removed from the main menu for now

Fixed

• The page could not be scrolled at all on some visits (production build only) - caused by a release-build snapshotting step that occasionally captured the site mid-way through locking the page for the terms and privacy prompt
• The splash screen sometimes did not appear on page load (production build only) - caused by the same snapshotting step occasionally capturing the page after the splash had already finished fading out

Changed

• Enquiry form now asks what it is about (General enquiry or Support coordination) so it reaches the right team
• Form notifications now route to one of two mailboxes based on priority - referrals, reports and support-coordination enquiries go to the priority inbox; general enquiries, gig applications and reviews go to the general inbox

Fixed

• Chat Continue button after an interrupted form no longer shows a generic error
• Header and version banner no longer scroll away - they stay fixed at the top

Removed

• Automatic confirmation email after submitting a form (disabled for now, can be turned back on later)

Added

• Every public page now ships real, pre-rendered HTML (not just the home page) — so search engines, social link previews, and AI tools that don't run JavaScript see the actual page content instead of an empty loading shell

Fixed

• The sitemap and robots.txt were accidentally still pointing at placeholder content from the project template (wrong domain, wrong pages) — replaced with the real site map

Fixed

• The custom welcome screen could disappear almost instantly on a fast load, before you could actually read the logo, version or credit — it now stays visible for a minimum moment every time

Added

• A custom welcome screen with our logo now appears the instant the app opens, instead of a generic loading screen
• A "what's new" banner appears after an update, with a Details view you can open to see everything that changed

Changed

• Tidied up the styling of the menu page's links for easier reading
• Update notices are now written in plain, everyday language instead of technical notes

Fixed

• Refreshing the page, or opening a shared link directly (e.g. a referral or enquiry link), could show a 404 error page instead of the site — fixed
• The colour behind the phone's status bar / notch no longer clashes with the header — it now matches
• Long email addresses were pushing the Referral and Enquiry forms off-centre on some phones — fixed

Fixed

• Mobile status bar / notch area now matches the header's background color instead of showing an unrelated dark green

Added

• Expandable "What's new" panel in the version banner, showing Added/Fixed/Changed/Removed when a release has notes
• Shared @devclout/config/changelog module for reading and writing each app's changelog.json

Changed

• devclout-release CLI now prompts for changelog notes after every version bump (skip with --no-changelog)
• Versioned build output: each release now packages into its own dist/vX.X.X folder instead of overwriting a single dist/
• Release commands now bump real semver (release / release:minor / release:major) instead of an auto-incrementing build counter

Added

• Installable app (PWA) with a custom branded splash screen and install prompt
• Required Terms of Service / Privacy Policy agreement for new visitors
• Dedicated Terms of Service and Privacy Policy pages
• "Jump to latest message" button in chat when scrolled up
• Workspace-wide release/versioning system (this changelog included)

Changed

• Chat input bar is now transparent so messages are visible scrolling behind it
• Cookie/consent notice redesigned to match the brand
• All remaining "demo"/"not ready" wording replaced with honest, production copy

Fixed

• Referral and Enquiry pages overflowing sideways on narrow phones
• Mismatched accent colour on the mobile navigation bar
• Chat now remembers your scroll position instead of always jumping to the bottom

Removed

• Review helpful-votes, story comments and "Add a review" (hidden until a real backend exists — not deleted)
