/* ==========================================================================
   VV Techsol — inner pages
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   The building blocks every page below the homepage needs: a hero, content
   cards, a process strip, FAQs and cross-links. Loaded AFTER css/home.css and
   built entirely on its tokens, so the whole site reads as one design rather
   than a homepage plus a differently-styled everything-else.

   Nothing here redefines a home.css component. Sections, buttons, forms, the
   contact block, the header and the footer all come from there unchanged.
