+# SolveEase - Frontend Developer Assignment Solution
+
+A comprehensive solution for the Frontend Developer Intern Assignment, implementing all required features with modern React/Next.js best practices.
+
+## 🚀 Completed Features
+
+### ✅ 1. Fixed Cards Layout & Responsiveness
+- **Fixed Issues**: 
+  - Corrected grid layout from `md:grid-cols-1` to proper responsive columns
+  - Removed dark background (`bg-[#000000]`) for better UX
+  - Fixed duplicate `loadData()` call in useEffect
+- **Improvements**:
+  - Implemented responsive grid: 1 column (mobile) → 2 columns (tablet) → 3 columns (desktop) → 4 columns (large screens)
+  - Enhanced card design with hover effects, improved typography, and service badges
+  - Added smooth animations and transformations
+  - Optimized image loading with proper aspect ratios
+

+  - Mobile-friendly hamburger menu design
+  - Brand logo and navigation links
+  - Smooth color transitions between transparent and solid states
+
+### ✅ 3. Performance Optimizations
+- **Lazy Loading**: 
+  - Priority loading for above-the-fold images (first 8 cards)
+  - Optimized image sizes with `sizes` prop for different viewports
+  - Lazy loading for non-critical components
+- **Memoization**:
+  - `useMemo` for expensive filtering and sorting operations
+  - `useCallback` for event handlers to prevent unnecessary re-renders

+- **Skeleton Loading**: 
+  - Custom skeleton screens during data loading
+  - Smooth loading animations with CSS keyframes
+  - Better perceived performance
+
+### ✅ 4. Pagination System
+- **Features**:

+  - Smooth scroll to top on page change
+  - Previous/Next navigation with disabled states
+  - Dynamic page number display with proper spacing
+
+### ✅ 5. Advanced Service Filters
+- **Filter Types**:
+  - Service type dropdown (All Services + individual services)
+  - Price range inputs with min/max validation
+  - Sort options: Name (A-Z), Price (Low to High), Price (High to Low)
+- **Features**:
+  - Real-time filtering with immediate results
+  - Automatic pagination reset on filter changes
+  - Reset filters functionality
+  - Filters work seamlessly with pagination
+  - Price filters include tax calculation (GST 18%)
+
+### ✅ 6. Bug Fixes & Code Quality
+- **Fixed Bugs**:
+  - Removed duplicate API call in useEffect
+  - Fixed responsive grid issues
+  - Improved color contrast and accessibility
+  - Fixed console warnings and errors
+- **Code Improvements**:
+  - TypeScript strict mode compliance
+  - Component-driven architecture
+  - Clean, readable, and maintainable code
+  - Proper error handling and edge cases
+
+### ✅ 7. Complete API Integration
+- **API Implementation**:
+  - Custom React hook (`useWorkers`) for data fetching
+  - RESTful API endpoint `/api/workers` serving JSON data
+  - Loading states with skeleton screens
+  - Comprehensive error handling with retry functionality
+  - Client-side caching (5-minute cache duration)
+- **Features**:
+  - Graceful error boundaries with user-friendly error messages
+  - Loading indicators during API calls
+  - Retry mechanism for failed requests
+  - Data validation and filtering
+  - Legacy code properly commented out (not deleted)
