What

  • Adds /contact page (was 404 — Google Search Console flagged as Niet gevonden).
  • Wires @docusaurus/plugin-client-redirects with three redirects for legacy URLs Google still has indexed:
    • `/over-ons` → `/about/`
    • `/openconnector` → `openconnector.conduction.nl`
    • `/openconnector/support` → `openconnector.conduction.nl/support/`

Why

GSC "Pagina-indexering > Niet gevonden (404)" report had 41 URLs. Analysis: ~30 are legacy WordPress URLs (componenten catalogue, retired training pages, sample-page) with no current equivalent — let them fade naturally over 1-3 months. The remaining handful are URLs with current homes worth a 301 signal; this PR covers the conduction.nl side. A separate PR will land the docudesk legal-page redirects.

The /contact page itself fixes a business-critical 404: anyone Googling "Conduction contact" landed on a broken page. Now they reach a real page with named-person routes (no shared inbox, no support tier triage).

Acceptance

After deploy:

The redirects plugin emits static HTML pages with meta-refresh + `<link rel="canonical">` to the new target; Google treats this as a 301 signal.

Adds a real /contact page on conduction.nl (previously 404 — flagged
by Google Search Console). Routes inquiries to named team members
(Remco for sales/projects, Ruben for architecture/technical, Marleen
for press/research) with email + phone + LinkedIn, plus the office
address and KvK/BTW/IBAN block.

Also wires @docusaurus/plugin-client-redirects to reclaim the SEO
equity from three legacy URLs Google still has indexed from the
pre-Docusaurus / pre-subdomain layout:
- /over-ons     -> /about/
- /openconnector -> openconnector.conduction.nl
- /openconnector/support -> openconnector.conduction.nl/support/

The other ~30 GSC 404s (componenten catalogue, WordPress placeholders,
retired training pages) have no current equivalent and are left to
fade naturally from Google's index over the next 1-3 months.
