   ==========================================================================

   COLOR SCHEME
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Primary Blue:    #5DC6EE  (--blue)        — CTAs, links, accents, tech feel
   Action Orange:   #E6924D  (--orange)      — Emergency/urgency, warnings, warmth

   Dark Base:       #0B1215  (--dark)        — Page background

   TYPOGRAPHY
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Body / UI:       Inter (with system font fallback stack)
   Monospace:       JetBrains Mono — stat counters, step numbers, code-like text

   MAJOR SECTIONS
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1.  Reset & Base        — Box-model reset, CSS custom properties, globals
   2.  Typography          — Fluid headings (clamp), gradient text utility
   3.  Buttons             — Primary, outline, emergency variants + sizes
   4.  Navbar              — Fixed header with scroll-triggered glassmorphism
   5.  Hero                — Full-viewport intro with grid overlay, stats
   6.  Trust Bar           — Social-proof certification badges
   7.  Services            — Card grid + pillar accordion layout
   8.  Ecosystem           — Animated SVG node diagram (radial layout)
   9.  Industries          — 5-column icon grid
   10. Why Us              — Split layout with sticky metric cards
   11. Process             — Horizontal stepped flow with connectors
   12. Process Detail      — Sub-pages: timeline, highlight cards, detail grids
   13. Testimonials        — 3-column quote cards
   14. CTA                 — Centered call-to-action with radial glow
   15. Page Hero           — Interior page banners (FAQ, Contact, etc.)
   16. FAQ                 — Filterable accordion with category grouping
   17. Emergency Banner    — Orange-accented urgency strip with pulse animation
   18. Contact             — Two-column layout: info + form
   19. Footer              — 4-column grid, certifications, bottom bar
   20. Case Studies        — Expandable card accordion with stats & quotes
   21. Animations          — Scroll-triggered fade-in utility
   22. Responsive          — Breakpoints: 1024 / 768 / 480

   RESPONSIVE BREAKPOINT STRATEGY
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1024px — Tablet landscape: grids drop to 2-col, sticky sidebar becomes
            static, process steps wrap to 2-per-row, footer to 2-col
    768px — Tablet portrait / mobile: single-column grids, hamburger nav,
            stacked forms, hidden scroll indicator, full-width buttons
    480px — Small mobile: tighter padding, smaller headings, fully stacked
            CTA and hero action buttons
