What was done
- Diagnosed the empty white gap in the conversion section of /practice-areas/ (page id 48). Section holds the "Tell Us About Your Case" intake form, the "Why Kentucky Chooses Sam Aguiar" 9-item checklist, and the rotating "Life-Changing Results" panel.
- Root cause: a 2-column row. Left column = intake form (wide, shorter). Right column = Why-Kentucky checklist + tall results rotator (narrow, taller). The right column overshoots the form, leaving a tall empty white area lower-left on desktop. Mobile stacks, so no gap there.
- Built a before/after layout mock for Sam (shown in chat).
- Read-only audited /locations/louisville/: same building blocks but arranged differently, likely not the identical gap. A full per-page visual sweep is still pending.
Fix chosen (recommended, awaiting go)
Fill the left column, under the form, with brand-approved social proof already on the page: the 5-star Brittany V. review plus award badges (Forbes Best-In-State, Super Lawyers, NTL Top 100). Balances the two columns, adds trust at the decision point, no change to the Litify-wired form, fully reversible.
Alternatives offered to Sam: (B) move the results rotator into a full-width band below so the columns balance; (C) CSS-only rebalance (center / sticky sidebar, cap rotator height).
Why the session paused
/practice-areas/ is on the wp-content-deployer PROTECTED PAGES list. Per that skill and Sam's "ask first on destructive live changes," no push happens without his explicit approval of the exact change. Awaiting his selection.
Recommended next actions (on approval)
- Fetch raw block markup via REST (context=edit) for page 48; save a full backup for rollback.
- Append the social-proof block to the LEFT column only. Do not touch the intake form block (Litify-wired: name, email, GCLID/UTM, Web_Form__c).
- Deploy. Note: do NOT set the existing published page to status=draft (that would unpublish the live page). Use a preview/revision path, or publish directly once Sam approves.
- QA: wp-form-deploy-qa (confirm attribution intact) + playwright-visual-qa at 1280px and 390px. Confirm the gap is closed on desktop and the section stacks clean on mobile.
- content-publish-logger. Then run the full visual sweep of other location and practice-area pages for the same imbalance.
Handoff notes
- The Claude in Chrome extension dropped its MCP tab on nearly every call this session; live DOM and visual QA were unreliable until it is reconnected. Diagnosis was done via web_fetch plus Sam's screenshot, which was sufficient.
- WP REST credentials (Craig Aguiar app password) live in the wp-content-deployer skill and the vault; not pasted here. Cloudflare requires a browser User-Agent header on every API call.
- No live changes were made this session. Nothing was deployed.
