+# Phase 2 Plan 03: Marketing Site Human Verification Summary
+
+**All 7 checklist items approved by human reviewer; visual polish applied to hero photo crop, contact form field styling, and testimonial accent bar — Phase 2 marketing site complete**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** ~10 min (smoke check + human review + visual fixes)
+- **Started:** 2026-03-19T21:03:00Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-03-19T21:20:00Z
+- **Tasks:** 2 (smoke check auto + human-verify checkpoint)
+- **Files modified:** 3
+
+## Accomplishments
+- Dev server smoke check passed — build clean, localhost:3000 returned HTTP 200
+- Human reviewer approved all 7 checklist items: sticky nav, hero, testimonials carousel, listings placeholder, contact form (submit + thank-you), footer (license + copyright), and mobile hamburger nav
+- Three visual fixes applied during verification session before final approval:
+  - Hero photo `objectPosition` tuned to `20% center` so Teressa's face is correctly centered in the split-panel crop
+  - Contact form `<input>` and `<textarea>` fields styled with white background and 1px border for legibility against the section background
+  - Testimonial quote decoration replaced with a 4px gold left-border accent bar for cleaner visual hierarchy
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Dev server smoke check** — build passed, HTTP 200 confirmed (no separate commit — pre-existing build)
+2. **Task 2: Human verification checkpoint** — all 7 items approved
+
+**Visual fix commits (applied during verification):**
+- Hero objectPosition + contact field styling + testimonial accent bar fixes — committed as part of verification session
+
+**Plan metadata:** `5842ffc` (prior docs commit — plan 02-03 metadata committed post-verification)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+- `src/app/_components/HeroSection.tsx` - Added `objectPosition: '20% center'` inline style to next/image to correctly frame Teressa's portrait
+- `src/app/_components/ContactSection.tsx` - Added white background and 1px solid border styles to all form inputs and textarea for contrast and legibility
+- `src/app/_components/TestimonialsSection.tsx` - Replaced decorative quote mark element with 4px gold left-border accent bar on testimonial cards
+
+## Decisions Made
+- `objectPosition: '20% center'` chosen after visual inspection — centering the image at 50% showed too much background; 20% keeps the face well-framed in the left panel
+- White form fields with explicit border chosen over transparent/inherited styles — browser defaults can leave inputs invisible on non-white backgrounds
+- Gold accent bar (`borderLeft: '4px solid #C9A84C'`) replaces quote mark — quote glyphs at large size felt heavy; the bar reads cleanly as a testimonial signal while matching the brand palette
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+### Visual Fixes Applied During Verification
+
+The plan specified human verification only. Three visual polish fixes were applied after human review before final approval:
+
+**1. [Rule 1 - Bug] Hero photo objectPosition tuned to 20%**
+- **Found during:** Task 2 (Human verify checkpoint — reviewer noted photo crop)
+- **Issue:** Default `objectPosition: center` showed too much background in split-panel; Teressa's face not well centered
+- **Fix:** Added `objectPosition: '20% center'` as inline style on the `<Image>` component fill
+- **Files modified:** `src/app/_components/HeroSection.tsx`
+- **Verification:** Confirmed visually by reviewer — face correctly framed
+
+**2. [Rule 2 - Missing Critical] Contact form input styling**
+- **Found during:** Task 2 (Human verify checkpoint — reviewer noted form legibility)
+- **Issue:** Form inputs lacked explicit background/border — could be invisible on non-white section backgrounds depending on browser defaults
+- **Fix:** Added `backgroundColor: '#fff', border: '1px solid #d1d5db'` (or equivalent) to all form inputs and textarea
+- **Files modified:** `src/app/_components/ContactSection.tsx`
+- **Verification:** Fields visually distinct and legible on cream section background
+
+**3. [Rule 1 - Bug] Testimonial quote mark replaced with gold accent bar**
+- **Found during:** Task 2 (Human verify checkpoint — reviewer flagged quote mark visual weight)
+- **Issue:** Large decorative quote mark felt visually heavy; misaligned with clean brand aesthetic
+- **Fix:** Replaced with 4px left-border gold accent bar matching brand palette (`#C9A84C`)
+- **Files modified:** `src/app/_components/TestimonialsSection.tsx`
+- **Verification:** Confirmed by reviewer — testimonial cards read cleaner
+
+---
+
+**Total deviations:** 3 visual fixes (1 photo crop bug, 1 missing form styling, 1 aesthetic improvement)
+**Impact on plan:** All fixes made before final human approval — no scope creep beyond visual polish expected in a verification pass.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+None beyond the three visual fixes addressed during the review session.
+
+## User Setup Required
+
+Contact form email delivery requires SMTP credentials in `.env.local` (documented in 02-02-SUMMARY.md):
+```
+CONTACT_EMAIL_USER=teressa@teressacopelandhomes.com
+CONTACT_EMAIL_PASS=your_app_password
+CONTACT_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
+CONTACT_SMTP_PORT=587
+```
+
+The thank-you message swap on form submit confirms the server action ran correctly — actual email delivery is pending SMTP configuration.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+- Phase 2 marketing site is complete and human-approved
+- All placeholder copy labelled with PLACEHOLDER comments for Teressa to replace with real bio/content before launch
+- License number has TODO verify comment for Teressa to confirm
+- SMTP credentials must be configured before live email delivery
+- DNS (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) for teressacopelandhomes.com must be configured before emails reach real clients (existing blocker)
+- Phase 3 (Listings) can begin — WFRMLS vendor enrollment should be started immediately (2-4 week lead time)
+
+## Self-Check: PASSED
+
+- FOUND: .planning/phases/02-marketing-site/02-03-SUMMARY.md (this file)
+- Requirements verified: MKTG-01 (hero + photo), MKTG-02 (listings placeholder), MKTG-03 (contact form), MKTG-04 (testimonials carousel)
+- All 7 human checklist items approved
+- Phase 2 marked complete
