The homepage was too long and read as a list of sections. The technical
ones (project fit, tools, how a change is secured) move to a page of their
own, /freelance and /en/freelance, linked from the header, the footer and a
pointer on the homepage. The rest is reordered into one story (who, what you
need, examples, how working together goes, results, questions, contact) and
each section opens with a sentence that leads over from the one before.
routes.ts: a page may now have the same name in both languages. Before,
/en/<german name> was always moved to the English name, which for such a
page would have redirected the address onto itself.
Design: list titles such as "Passt gut" are real headings instead of small
grey labels. The automation examples, their description and the run are one
box, so it is clear they belong together. Digits on light backgrounds are
the blue of the panels instead of black. The square corner marks on the
rounded service cards are gone. The years in the career line are readable.

The site now exists in German (at the root, with /impressum and /datenschutz)
and English (/en). A request without a language follows the visitor's choice
from the language switch, then the browser language, then German; the old
English legal addresses move to /en for good.
All visible texts are data in src/content/de.ts and en.ts, so components hold
none of their own. The header carries a DE/EN switch whose bit curtain covers
the page while it is swapped and reopens at the same reading position. Title,
description, canonical, hreflang, Open Graph, the share image, the sitemap and
the structured data are per language. The privacy notice now describes the
cookie that remembers the chosen language.

Dark surfaces now carry light: frames glow along their edge and shed binary
digits (BitAura), dark sections open with a lit seam (BitSeam), the career
path is a line of light and "My work" became a dark stage. Buttons carry a
travelling light and a spot that follows the pointer (BitGlow).

The site now presents one freelance developer on one page: hero, introduction,
four typical cases (developer for a product, make an app reliable, automate a
process, a website) with what you get, how it runs and what it costs, a
process automation section, technology and project fit, how I work, two live
references, questions and contact.
- Hero and closing headline are drawn from running binary digits.
- Each case explains its four steps with an animated drawing; the automation
section shows example workflows with work travelling between systems; a
pipeline run shows what a test catches before a release.
- Contact is one email address, kept in parts and assembled in the browser so
it never appears in the page source (src/domain/email.ts, spec first).
- Imprint and privacy pages added.
- The old site (blog, case studies, contact form, fixed-price pages, video
rendering and related scripts) is removed. Its URLs redirect to the homepage.
- The deploy smoke test checks the legal pages and the redirects instead of
the removed case study.
- Dev scripts use docker compose v2.
