/* ==========================================================================
   ANDNETICS — design system v3
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Built against the references the client picked (nexthop.education,
   solutions1313.net, seodiscovery.com). The shared DNA of those sites:

     1. Colour carries the page. Navy is the base, but every card, chip and
        stat gets an accent from a six-colour set. Monochrome reads cheap here.
     2. Headlines highlight their key words in an accent colour.
     3. Density over emptiness. Cards hold an icon chip, a ghost number,
        a title, a blurb and a bullet list — not just a title and a line.
     4. Contact is always one tap away: a utility bar on top, coloured CTAs in
        the header, and floating WhatsApp/Call buttons on the edge.
     5. Soft gradient backgrounds, generous radii, visible depth.

   Loaded after Bootstrap. Legacy aliases for not-yet-converted pages sit at
   the bottom.
