   Elite IT Systems — shared site stylesheet
   Extracted from per-page embedded CSS (Aug 2026). Include on every page:
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/site.css">
   Keep only page-specific rules (e.g. a one-off section) in a page's own
   <style> block — nav, footer, buttons, and blog/article components live
   here so a brand or layout change only has to happen once.
