/* ===========================================================
   M2 Technology Group - proposed site design
   Single-page preview. Palette and type follow the design
   agreed in the working build: CommTrak blue as the primary,
   M2 orange as the single accent, Lato throughout.
   Deliberately single-theme: this previews a website, so it
   holds its own light ground rather than following the OS.
