+## Migration Notes
+
+### For Backend Developers
+
+When implementing the backend:
+
+1. **Keep existing frontend structure** - Don't rename or move files
+2. **Match data structures** - Use the exact field names from mock data
+3. **Respect date formats** - "X days ago" format for PostedDate
+4. **Maintain validation rules** - Minimum 100 chars for description, required fields, etc.
+5. **Follow status workflow** - Draft → Pending → Published → Closed
+6. **Implement soft delete** - Don't hard delete jobs
+7. **Generate slugs** - For SEO-friendly URLs
+
+### Required Backend Changes to Frontend
+
+After backend is ready, update these files:
+
+1. **Index.razor**
+   - Replace `_exampleJobs` with API call
+   - Inject `JobHttpService`
+   - Call `GetJobsAsync()` in `OnInitializedAsync()`
+
+2. **Details.razor**
+   - Replace `LoadJob()` with API call
+   - Replace `LoadSimilarJobs()` with API call
+   - Inject `JobHttpService`
+
+3. **Submit.razor**
+   - Replace `Task.Delay(2000)` with real API call
+   - Add error handling for API failures
+   - Inject `JobHttpService`
+
+See `docs/jobs-frontend-backend-integration-guide.md` for detailed code examples.

+
+## Known Issues
+
+### Frontend Only
+- [ ] Mock data only (no real jobs displayed)
+- [ ] Submit form simulates success (doesn't actually create jobs)
+- [ ] Similar jobs algorithm not implemented (shows random jobs)
+- [ ] Search is client-side only (will be server-side after backend)
+- [ ] No real-time updates when new jobs are posted
+- [ ] Social sharing doesn't include dynamic meta tags (requires SSR)
+
+### To Fix in Backend Implementation
+- [ ] Implement real job persistence
+- [ ] Add server-side search and filtering
+- [ ] Implement similar jobs algorithm (based on skills, location, type)
+- [ ] Add real-time notifications (SignalR)
+- [ ] Implement proper SEO with dynamic meta tags
+- [ ] Add sitemap generation for jobs
+- [ ] Implement RSS feed for new jobs
+
+---
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Current (Frontend)
+- ✅ Client-side filtering is fast (< 100ms)
+- ✅ Lazy loading of job details
+- ✅ Minimal bundle size
+- ✅ Optimized images and assets
+
+### Future (Backend)
+- [ ] Database indexing on Status, CreatedAt, Slug
+- [ ] Redis caching for job list (5min TTL)
+- [ ] CDN for static assets
+- [ ] Image optimization and lazy loading
+- [ ] Pagination for large job lists
+- [ ] API response compression
+- [ ] Query optimization (EF Core)
+
+---
+
+## Accessibility (a11y)
+
+### Implemented
+- ✅ Semantic HTML5 elements
+- ✅ ARIA labels on interactive elements
+- ✅ Keyboard navigation support
+- ✅ Focus indicators visible
+- ✅ Color contrast meets WCAG AA standards
+- ✅ Alt text for icons (FontAwesome)
+- ✅ Form field labels
+- ✅ Error messages announced
+
+### To Improve
+- [ ] Screen reader testing
+- [ ] Add skip navigation links
+- [ ] Improve focus trap in modals
+- [ ] Add keyboard shortcuts
+- [ ] Test with NVDA/JAWS
+- [ ] Add language switcher
+
+---
+
+## Browser Support
+
+### Tested and Supported
+- ✅ Chrome 120+ (Desktop & Mobile)
+- ✅ Firefox 121+ (Desktop & Mobile)
+- ✅ Safari 17+ (Desktop & Mobile)
+- ✅ Edge 120+ (Desktop)
+
+### Known Limitations
+- ⚠️ IE 11 not supported (Blazor WASM requirement)
+- ⚠️ Older mobile browsers may have layout issues
