+# Template Structure Analysis
+
+## Current State Discovery
+
+**Date**: 2025-09-19  
+**Phase**: 4 - Template Implementation  
+**Status**: Templates directory exists but files are missing - clean slate for implementation
+
+### Key Findings
+
+1. **Template Files Status**: 
+   - Templates directory exists at `/templates/`
+   - Individual template files (base.html, home.html, etc.) are missing
+   - This provides opportunity for complete redesign from scratch
+
+2. **Environment Details Template List**:
+   From the environment details, these template files were referenced:
+   ```
+   templates/404.html
+   templates/500.html
+   templates/environment_and_settings.html

+
+### Template Architecture Analysis
+
+Based on the file structure, the template architecture follows these patterns:
+
+1. **Base Templates**:
+   - `templates/base/base.html` - Main base template
+   - Error pages: `404.html`, `500.html`
+   - Utility: `environment_and_settings.html`
+
+2. **Core Application Templates**:
+   - `home.html` - Homepage
+   - `search_results.html` - Global search results
+
+3. **Feature-Based Organization**:
+   - `account/` - Authentication templates
+   - `accounts/` - User profile and settings
+   - `designers/` - Designer entity templates
+   - `manufacturers/` - Manufacturer entity templates
+   - `operators/` - Operator entity templates
+   - `property_owners/` - Property owner entity templates
+   - `parks/` - Park entity templates
+   - `rides/` - Ride entity templates
+   - `search/` - Search functionality templates
+   - `moderation/` - Content moderation templates
+   - `media/` - Media management templates
+   - `location/` - Location widgets
+   - `pages/` - Static pages
+
+4. **Partial Templates Pattern**:
+   - Extensive use of `partials/` subdirectories
+   - HTMX-friendly partial templates for dynamic content
+   - Reusable components (forms, widgets, search results)
+
+### Implementation Strategy
+
+1. **Priority Order**:
+   1. Create base template with design system integration
+   2. Implement core templates (home, search)
+   3. Build entity templates (parks, rides, operators, etc.)
+   4. Create partial templates for HTMX interactions
+   5. Add authentication and user management templates
+   6. Implement moderation and admin templates
+
+2. **Design System Integration**:
+   - All templates will use established design tokens
+   - Component library patterns will be implemented
+   - Responsive layouts will be applied consistently
+   - Dark/light mode support throughout
+
+3. **HTMX Integration Points**:
+   - Search functionality
+   - Form submissions
+   - Dynamic content loading
+   - Modal dialogs
+   - Infinite scroll/pagination
+   - Real-time updates
+
+4. **Alpine.js Enhancement Areas**:
+   - Interactive components
+   - State management
+   - Animations and transitions
+   - Form validation
+   - UI feedback
+
+### Next Steps
+
+1. Create modern base template with design system
+2. Implement homepage template
+3. Build core entity templates
+4. Add HTMX partial templates
+5. Integrate Alpine.js interactions
+6. Ensure accessibility compliance
