## Best Practices

### Story Section

1. **Authentic** - Tell your real story, not generic corporate speak
2. **Concise** - 3-5 paragraphs max
3. **Customer-focused** - Explain how you solve their problems
4. **Timeline** - Include founding year and growth milestones

### Values

1. **Specific** - "AMD Ryzen 9 7950X" not "powerful servers"
2. **Action-oriented** - What you DO, not what you believe
3. **6 values** - More than 3, less than 10
4. **Real benefits** - Tie each value to customer benefit

### Stats

1. **Impressive but real** - Don't inflate numbers
2. **Diverse metrics** - Mix technical (uptime) and business (customers)
3. **Updated regularly** - Keep numbers current
4. **4-6 stats** - Enough to impress, not overwhelming

### Hero

1. **Clear message** - What you do in one sentence
2. **Key metrics** - 3 most impressive stats
3. **Visual** - High-quality background image

## Troubleshooting

### Stats not showing in hero

Ensure stats array has label and value:

```typescript theme={null}
stats: [
  { label: "Active Servers", value: "50K+" }
]
```

### Story paragraphs render as one block

Each paragraph must be a separate string in the array:

```typescript theme={null}
paragraphs: [
  "First paragraph.",
  "Second paragraph.",
  "Third paragraph."
]
```

### Icons not displaying

Use Lucide icon names in camelCase: rocket, shield, heart, zap, users, trendingUp

For stats section: server, globe, award, clock, users, heart, star

### Colors not working

Use lowercase color names: blue, purple, pink, yellow, green, cyan, orange, red
