+# Frontend Page Parity Tracker
+
+Source repo: `/Users/ashwin/workspace/nxtgauge-frontendwebsite` (Next.js)
+Target repo: `/Users/ashwin/workspace/nxtgauge-frontend-solid` (SolidStart)
+
+## Status Legend
+- `done`: implemented in Solid with matching visual direction
+- `in_progress`: route exists, partial parity
+- `pending`: not ported yet
+
+## Public / Marketing
+- `/` `done`
+- `/about` `in_progress`
+- `/contact` `in_progress`
+- `/help-center` `in_progress`
+- `/help-center/article/[slug]` `pending`
+- `/support` `in_progress`
+- `/support/article/[slug]` `pending`
+- `/hire` `in_progress`
+- `/privacy` `in_progress`
+- `/terms` `in_progress`
+- `/companies` `in_progress`
+- `/professionals` `in_progress`
+- `/job-seeker` `in_progress`
+
+## Auth
+- `/auth/login` `in_progress`
+- `/auth/register` `in_progress`
+- `/auth/forgot-password` `pending`
+- `/auth/verification` `pending`
+- `/auth/login-verification` `pending`
+
+## User Workspaces (large scope)
+- `/users/*` `pending`
+- `/companies/*` dashboards `pending`
+- `/job-seeker/(workspace)/*` `pending`
+
+## Notes
+- Goal is strict visual/interaction parity with old Next.js design system, including dark gradients, glassmorphism, motion accents, and CTA structure.
+- Runtime onboarding flow already exists in Solid at `/onboarding` and will be integrated into remaining route parity.
