   ABOUT PAGE — /about/

   The landing page (templates/website/home_services.html) carries its
   design system in a ~2280-line inline <style> block. Rather than paste a
   third copy of it into another template, the shared layer is lifted here
   verbatim so /about/ renders in the same visual language: same tokens,
   same navbar, same page loader, same section primitives.

   Blocks below are copied from home_services.html at the line ranges noted.
   If the landing page's tokens or navbar change, these must change with them.
   Page-specific rules live at the bottom, under "ABOUT — PAGE SPECIFIC".
