## How It Works

### Admin Changes Flow
1. Admin edits/adds service in admin-dashboard.php
2. Data saves to database (services table)
3. Homepage updates automatically within 60 seconds
4. Customers see live content on all devices

### Auto-Refresh Mechanism
- Both sections refresh every 60 seconds
- Balanced for performance and freshness
- Silent refresh (no UI disruption)
- Handles errors gracefully

### API Endpoints
- **Services**: `api_handler.php?action=get_services`
- **Blog Posts**: `api_handler.php?action=get_blog_posts`
- Both return JSON with full data from database

## Key Implementation Details

### Service Section JavaScript
```javascript
// Fetch services from database
function loadHomeServices() {
    fetch('api_handler.php?action=get_services')
        .then(response => response.json())
        .then(data => renderServices(data.data))
}

// Render service cards dynamically
function renderServices(services) {
    // Creates HTML with service image, name, description
    // Adds cycling emoji icons
    // Initializes Slick slider with responsive breakpoints
}

// Auto-refresh every 60 seconds
setInterval(loadHomeServices, 60000);
```

### Blog Section JavaScript
```javascript
// Fetch blog posts from database
function loadBlogPosts() {
    fetch('api_handler.php?action=get_blog_posts')
        .then(response => response.json())
        .then(data => renderBlogPosts(data.data))
}

// Render blog cards dynamically
function renderBlogPosts(posts) {
    // Creates HTML with title, image, date, category, excerpt
    // Adds author name and formatted dates
    // Initializes Slick slider with responsive breakpoints
}

// Auto-refresh every 60 seconds
setInterval(loadBlogPosts, 60000);
```

## How to Use

### For Site Visitors
1. Visit homepage (index.php)
2. See latest services in dynamic slider
3. See latest blog posts in dynamic slider
4. Click on any service/blog to view details
5. Content automatically updates when admin makes changes

### For Admin Users

2. Add/Edit services - changes appear in 60 seconds
3. Add/Edit blog posts - changes appear in 60 seconds
4. No manual updates needed
5. Drag and drop images for featured images

### For Developers
1. Service data comes from `services` table
2. Blog data comes from `blog_posts` table with author JOIN
3. All API calls use `api_handler.php` with action parameters
4. JavaScript functions auto-initialize on page load
5. Modify refresh interval in the setInterval() calls if needed

## Known Limitations

- Refresh interval is fixed at 60 seconds (can be adjusted)
- No pagination (shows all items via slider)
- Auto-refresh is silent (no notification)
- Requires JavaScript enabled (falls back to loading text)
- Slider behavior depends on jQuery + Slick availability
