## Overview
Transform firefrostgaming.com from a bare landing page into the proper public face of Firefrost Gaming. Ghost CMS is the platform — our job is to build a site that tells the story, showcases the servers, and points people where they need to go.
Paymenter handles billing. Discord handles community. Ghost is the front door.
