# Freedom Road Ministries — Gap Analysis

> What’s missing · ranked. Site is ~80% ship-ready · remaining ~20% is mostly client decisions.

## CRITICAL — blocks launch

# | Gap | Owner | Unlock
--- | --- | --- | ---
1 | Zechariah 12:6-10 verification (was originally typo’d as Zech 17:6-10 · Zech only has 14 chapters) | Clark | 5 min Bible-reference confirmation
2 | Hosting decision (IONOS · Hostinger · Vercel) | Clark + Sandi | 30 min call
3 | Domain DNS configuration for freedomroadministries.org | Clark | 10 min once host chosen
4 | First production deploy | Sandi | 1 sitting after #2 + #3 close

## HIGH — improves launch quality

# | Gap | Owner | Effort
--- | --- | --- | ---
5 | Cross-browser QA (Chrome · Firefox · Safari · Edge · mobile Chrome · mobile Safari) | Sandi | 2-3 sittings
6 | Mobile responsive QA on real devices | Sandi | 1 sitting
7 | Lighthouse audit (Performance · Accessibility · SEO targets 90+) | Sandi | 1 sitting + fixes
8 | Resource PDF/DOCX upload (Story Worth Telling · 8 Things · etc.) | Clark provides · Sandi uploads | Per resource provided
9 | Music page YouTube IDs verified (currently has Aaron Shust embedded; confirm others) | Clark | 30 min

## MEDIUM — polish

# | Gap | Why
--- | --- | ---
10 | Author photo on `story.html` (Clark’s testimony · trust signal) | If not present, marketing weaker
11 | Email capture / newsletter signup | Optional · client decision · Mailchimp or ConvertKit
12 | Donation processing (Stripe link or external) | Optional · Clark’s decision
13 | Speaking engagement booking (Calendly link) | Optional · Clark’s decision
14 | Analytics setup (Google Analytics 4 · Plausible · Fathom) | Clark requests if/when
15 | Site search (across pages) | Low priority; pages are cross-linked

## LOW — defer

# | Item | Why defer
--- | --- | ---
16 | Multi-language (Hebrew · Spanish) | English audience first; no signal Hebrew is needed
17 | Progressive Web App (PWA) installation | Static HTML works fine; no compelling use case
18 | Newsletter archive page | Until newsletter exists, no archive
19 | Member login / gated content | Client engagement is non-membership · would expand scope significantly
