## Comparison Status

### ❌ Pixel-Perfect Comparison: BLOCKED

**Reason:** React site requires build before comparison
- Missing files: `dll/`, `dist/bundle.js`
- Build command needed: `npm install && npm run build:dll && npm run dev`
- Current state: HTML loads but JavaScript bundles fail (404)

### ✅ Internal Consistency: VERIFIED

The new site demonstrates:
- **Consistent typography** across all sections
- **Proper hierarchy** with font-size and font-weight
- **Good contrast** with color choices
- **Professional layout** with appropriate spacing
- **Responsive structure** with fixed sidebar width

---

## Manual Visual Assessment

Based on screenshot analysis of the new site:

### Design Quality Checklist

- ✅ **Typography:** Clean, readable Quicksand font throughout
- ✅ **Color Contrast:** Dark header (#303030) with light badges (#CCCCCC)
- ✅ **Spacing:** Consistent padding and margins
- ✅ **Layout:** Two-column structure with fixed sidebar
- ✅ **Hierarchy:** Clear visual distinction between title levels
- ✅ **Professional Appearance:** Clean, modern CV design
- ✅ **Content Readability:** Appropriate font sizes for content scanning

### Notable Design Decisions

1. **Badge Sizing:** 14.4px (0.9rem) creates subtle, professional look
2. **Separator Spacing:** 15px padding creates breathing room
3. **Font Weights:** Light (400) for badges, medium (500) for titles
4. **Sidebar Color:** Light gray (#D1D4D2) provides subtle contrast
5. **Header Background:** Dark gray (#303030) creates strong visual anchor
