📑 Project Structure

The system is engineered into two distinct macro-areas to separate the informational phase from the operational phase:

1. Information Portal (Main Site)

• Entry Point: Root/INDEX.HTML
• Purpose: Institutional presentation of the organization, description of services provided by the Public Administration, and user orientation interface.

2. Service Hub (Operations Site)

• Entry Point: Root/INDEX_2.HTML
• Purpose: A restricted operational area accessible via authentication, allowing users to utilize specific services such as application tracking, payments, and data management.
