MOCKUP — not the live site. Proposed /about/. Location, capacity, uses and the supporter are the real published values from aikyam.space/about/, read 10 Aug 2026 — the live page was last edited 25 March 2026. ⛔ No opening hours appear on the live page and none has been invented; the times below come from /clubs/ and are labelled as club sessions.

Fort Kochi

A hall, a garden and a kitchen in Fort Kochi

Up to 35 people fit. It is used for trainings, residencies, performances and meet-ups — and most afternoons, for free community clubs that anyone nearby can join. A project by aikyamhq, in service of change makers.

Open today · 2–6 PM

Sunday. Dance Club is running.

⛔⛔ The opening sentence was rewritten to solve a nav problem, not a copy one. It read “aikyam space is a project by aikyamhq, in service of change makers…” — and “Who we are” will want to open exactly that way too. The owner has fixed that label, so ⭐ the pages have to disambiguate themselves: three nav items all answer “who?”, and if two of them also open the same way a reader has to read both to find out they wanted the third.

⭐ So About opens on the physical thing — a hall, a garden, a kitchen — which is the one job no other page can claim. The aikyamhq attribution survives, moved to the end of the paragraph where it is a fact rather than the frame. Team opens on people (“Thirteen people keep aikyam space running”), Who we are opens on organisations. Three openings, three subjects, no overlap.

⛔⛔ This is the highest-demand page on the site and the least maintained. /about-us/ — a dead URL — is the second-biggest Google landing page on the whole site — 767 all-time pageviews, 570 all-time visitors, 310 of them from Google — while the live /about/ takes 645 all-time pageviews / 406 all-time visitors. Real people are trying to reach an about page and failing.

⛔⛔ This paragraph said “246”, I called that figure wrong, and it was not wrong — it was a different population. 246 is six-month visitors; 643 is all-time pageviews. Both correct, measured off the same site, and two axes differed at once — the window and the metric — which is why neither of us saw it.

⭐ All-time is nevertheless the right choice HERE, and the reason is the argument itself: the question this number answers is “has anyone ever reached this URL”, not “recently” — a bookmark from last year still 404s. So the figure changed for a reason about the argument, not because anybody miscounted.

⛔ Every number on this page now names its population, because the defect was never the figures — it was the missing labels, and the missing labels produced a false accusation of error. The live one was last edited 25 March and has not moved since.

⭐ So this is the page /about-us/ should redirect to, which makes it a migration deliverable and not only a design one.

⛔ The live page never says when the building is open. It gives location, capacity and ideal uses — and nothing a person could act on today. The status line above is the fix, and it carries a label: these are club session times, not building hours, because nobody has published building hours and inventing them is how a reader arrives at a locked gate.

The room

⭐ Three facts, given the same shape as a club row. The live page writes them as a run of dashed lines — “Location – … Ideal for – … Capacity – …” — which reads as a spec sheet and is the hardest form to scan on a phone. ⛔ Capacity “25-35” keeps its real range and gains a proper en dash; the hyphen on the live page is the same character-drift family as the two dashes on /clubs/.

⚠️ “Ideal for” became “What it is used for”. Ideal is a sales word and this page is not selling the room — and grade-wise it is the kind of phrase that stalls a reader who has English as a second language.

The space, the garden, the kitchen

⚠️ These three headings are real — the gallery labels on the live page. The one-line descriptions are mine and not published anywhere, written from what the team page says those people do. ⛔ Flagged rather than presented as found copy. If they are wrong, they are wrong in a mockup and cost nothing; the point is that a bare gallery label tells a stranger nothing.

⚠️ 1 of the live page's images is hosted on aikyamhq.com — the same cross-site dependency as /team/, at smaller scale.

⚠️ Reviewer notes — not page copy

⭐ 1. What this page is for, now that “Who we are” exists

About = what this place is, and where. For a stranger arriving cold — which, given 767 visits to a dead about URL, is the largest identified audience on the site. Who we are = the organisations working here. Team = the people you will meet.

⛔ About is not redundant and the traffic settles it. The question was worth asking — three pages that all answer “who?” is a real risk — but the evidence points one way. ⚠️ The naming risk sits on “Who we are”, not on About; see RESPONSIVE.md §7.

⛔ 2. The live page ends by sending people away, and that is kept

It closes with “Want to know who is behind aikyam space? Visit our Team page. To get in touch, head to our Contact page.” ⭐ That instinct is right — an about page should hand a reader onward — but it is doing it in prose where a reader is scanning for links. Here it is the nav and the footer, which is where people look.

⚠️ 3. What is still missing, and none of it is invented here

No building hours — only club session times exist. No street address, only a map pin. No email or phone anywhere on the site. No founding date, no “why” — the page says what the room is for and never why it exists, which is the one thing a stranger deciding whether this is real actually wants.

⭐ That last gap is the biggest and it is a writing job, not a design one. The evidence for “why” is already on the site, in the monthly guides — real sessions, real people, dated. It has simply never been said on the page where somebody looks for it.
