# Implementation Plan
|
|
|
|
## Strategy
|
|
|
|
Do not rewrite the entire frontend in one uncontrolled change.
|
|
|
|
Use a phased migration with explicit checkpoints.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 0 — Finish product functionality
|
|
|
|
Before the visual/UX redesign begins:
|
|
|
|
- finish current functional changes,
|
|
- avoid spending excessive time polishing legacy visual styling,
|
|
- stabilise backend/data-model behaviour,
|
|
- run tests,
|
|
- create a pre-redesign checkpoint.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 1 — Audit
|
|
|
|
No broad design changes.
|
|
|
|
Inspect and document:
|
|
|
|
- frontend framework and build setup,
|
|
- current styling solution,
|
|
- component libraries,
|
|
- routing,
|
|
- state management,
|
|
- authentication,
|
|
- localisation,
|
|
- API integration,
|
|
- test setup,
|
|
- every current feature and workflow.
|
|
|
|
Deliverables:
|
|
|
|
- technical frontend audit,
|
|
- functionality inventory,
|
|
- route/page map,
|
|
- component inventory,
|
|
- risk list,
|
|
- proposed migration approach.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 2 — Functional baseline
|
|
|
|
Add or improve regression coverage around critical workflows before changing them.
|
|
|
|
Deliverables:
|
|
|
|
- stable baseline tests,
|
|
- known failing tests documented,
|
|
- explicit protected-functionality checklist.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 3 — UX architecture
|
|
|
|
Define the target product shell and information architecture.
|
|
|
|
Deliverables:
|
|
|
|
- sidebar structure,
|
|
- page hierarchy,
|
|
- route migration plan,
|
|
- job workflow,
|
|
- Career Profile workflow,
|
|
- CV workflow,
|
|
- dashboard architecture,
|
|
- contextual AI pattern,
|
|
- responsive interaction model.
|
|
|
|
Avoid large implementation until this architecture is coherent.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 4 — Design system foundation
|
|
|
|
Implement shared tokens/components:
|
|
|
|
- colour tokens,
|
|
- typography,
|
|
- spacing,
|
|
- radii,
|
|
- shadows,
|
|
- motion,
|
|
- light/dark themes,
|
|
- form controls,
|
|
- buttons,
|
|
- tables,
|
|
- dialogs/drawers,
|
|
- empty/loading/error states,
|
|
- page layout primitives.
|
|
|
|
The agent may replace the current UI/component layer if doing so materially improves maintainability and consistency.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 5 — Representative screens
|
|
|
|
Implement only the most representative areas first:
|
|
|
|
1. App shell/sidebar
|
|
2. Dashboard
|
|
3. Jobs workspace
|
|
4. Job detail
|
|
5. CV builder
|
|
|
|
Use these to validate the design language before migrating the entire application.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 6 — Review checkpoint
|
|
|
|
Before broad rollout, inspect:
|
|
|
|
- consistency,
|
|
- usability,
|
|
- density,
|
|
- dark mode,
|
|
- mobile,
|
|
- Norwegian localisation,
|
|
- AI patterns,
|
|
- component reuse,
|
|
- performance.
|
|
|
|
Fix system-level issues now rather than replicating them across every page.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 7 — Full migration
|
|
|
|
Migrate remaining areas, including:
|
|
|
|
- authentication,
|
|
- onboarding,
|
|
- Career Profile,
|
|
- CV library,
|
|
- Documents,
|
|
- application/cover-letter workflows,
|
|
- Analytics,
|
|
- Notifications,
|
|
- Settings,
|
|
- Admin,
|
|
- error pages,
|
|
- empty states,
|
|
- remaining dialogs and forms.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 8 — Dashboard customisation
|
|
|
|
Implement per-user dashboard configuration:
|
|
|
|
- visibility,
|
|
- ordering,
|
|
- resizing where supported,
|
|
- reset defaults,
|
|
- persistence.
|
|
|
|
Admin dashboard remains separate.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 9 — QA
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
- automated regression tests,
|
|
- visual inspection,
|
|
- responsive inspection,
|
|
- keyboard/accessibility checks,
|
|
- English/Norwegian checks,
|
|
- light/dark checks,
|
|
- empty/large-data edge cases,
|
|
- document/CV pagination checks.
|
|
|
|
## Phase 10 — Cleanup
|
|
|
|
Remove only genuinely obsolete legacy UI code after:
|
|
|
|
- confirming no route still uses it,
|
|
- confirming tests pass,
|
|
- confirming functionality inventory is satisfied.
|
|
|
|
## Branching recommendation
|
|
|
|
Suggested:
|
|
|
|
- stable branch/tag: `pre-ui-redesign`
|
|
- working branch: `feature/ui-redesign`
|
|
|
|
Use smaller commits grouped by system/component or migrated workflow.
