   verdantcrown.co.za - site stylesheet (Vertex standard framework)

   MOCK-UP 2026-10-29. Colours from the Verdant Crown logo: deep forest green
   and crown gold. Photo-led and calm, as the reference sites Andre picked
   (BRIEF.md). Montserrat headings + Nunito Sans text, self-hosted
   (assets/fonts, SIL OFL). The menu is the framework drawer: pin open on
   desktop, pop-up on mobile; quick links in the header on wide screens.
