Services Page

The /services page is the primary conversion page in the Arcturus-Prime funnel. It translates the platform’s technical showcase into actionable service offerings for three audiences.

Purpose

Every other page on Arcturus-Prime demonstrates capability — the services page converts that into “here’s what I can do for you.” It connects the dots between the running platform and real-world value.

Architecture

• Route: /services
• Rendering: Static (SSG)
• Layout: BaseLayout + Starfield + Nebula
• Styles: <style is:global> (JS-rendered animations)
• JS: Animated counters via IntersectionObserver, astro:page-load

Sections

Hero

• Headline: “I build production infrastructure that costs almost nothing.”
• Three animated stat pills: $432/yr, 13 systems, 80+ APIs
• CTAs: “See The Proof” → /cost | “Let’s Talk” → /contact

Service Lanes (3)

Each lane is a full-width stacked section with numbered header, description, offerings list, and proof badge.

1. Build (cyan #06b6d4) — For businesses and startups

   • Infrastructure architecture, cost optimization, DevOps pipelines
   • Proof: “$432/year for a $40K platform” → /cost

2. Hire (purple #8b5cf6) — For employers

   • Full-stack infra, cost engineering, Linux/DevOps, AI pipelines
   • Proof: “27 modules built solo” → /architecture

3. Learn (green #22c55e) — For the community

   • Workshops, guides, open-source tools, community projects
   • Proof: “12 labs free and live” → /playground

Lanes have anchor IDs (#build, #hire, #learn) for direct linking.

Why This Is Different

Three differentiator cards linking to live proof:

• “The Proof Is Live” → /architecture
• “Cost As Architecture” → /cost
• “Build In Public” → /blog

CTA

• Primary: “Get In Touch” → /contact
• Secondary: Community, Cost Analysis, Explore the Lab
