The website of Alpha Consumer Services — a fictional luxury-services megacorp from the Killing Heat film universe, where protagonists Gordon Goldman and John Walker draw their paychecks. First built in 2010 as PHP fetching static HTML; rebuilt in 2015 on WordPress with a custom Bootstrap 3 theme; rebuilt again in 2026 as this static Eleventy site — same content, no PHP runtime, no WordPress to maintain. Much of the in-universe copy (Site Terms, Privacy Policy, FAQ) was hand-typed by Kenny Wang long before LLMs existed.

What's missing from this repo?

The Corporation does not distribute proprietary marketing assets or vendored typefaces. To run the site locally, reobtain them:

Path	What	How
src/assets/video/	Two campaign clips (~38 MB)	Restore from local backup
src/assets/fonts/lora/	Lora woff/woff2 files	npm i @fontsource/lora, copy node_modules/@fontsource/lora/files/lora-latin-{400,700}-{normal,italic}.{woff,woff2} into the folder
src/assets/fonts/oswald/	Oswald woff/woff2 files	Same pattern with @fontsource/oswald
src/assets/fonts/font-awesome/	Font Awesome 4.7 CSS + font files	Download from the Font Awesome 4.7 archive

Tech

• Eleventy 3.1 — Nunjucks templates, static HTML output
• Bootstrap 3 era CSS — preserved verbatim from the 2015 WordPress theme
• jQuery 3.7 + Jasny offcanvas — for the slide-out side menu
• PhotoSwipe 5 — image lightbox
• Custom AJAX nav — replaces the WordPress Ajaxify plugin with a partial-swap pattern that syncs #main content + #page wrapper classes
• Vanilla everything else — no build step beyond eleventy

Build

npm install
npm run build     # eleventy → _site/
npm start         # eleventy --serve, watches src/ for changes

The author serves the build from Laragon locally with the hosts file mapping alphaconsumerservices.com → 127.0.0.1, so the project runs at its real domain in development.

Notable conversion choices (2015 WordPress → 2026 Eleventy)

The 2015 WordPress site was first scraped to static HTML with HTTrack to retire the database and PHP runtime. That HTML was then rebuilt as Eleventy templates with the dynamic bits replaced:

• WordPress + PHP runtime → static Eleventy output (Nunjucks)
• ?id=XXX query-string routing → clean URLs
• Ajaxify plugin → custom ajax-nav.js (PJAX-style partial nav)
• Contact Form 7 → static "form temporarily unavailable" notice
• Cookies → localStorage (theme/contrast preference, cookie-notice acknowledgement)
• Google Fonts CDN → vendored @fontsource files
• Original lightbox → PhotoSwipe 5
• ISO-8859-1 → UTF-8
• nanoscroller, jQuery UI, Ajaxify all dropped; jQuery upgraded 2.1 → 3.7
