/* =========================================================
   QUITIRED WEBSITE — MAIN STYLESHEET
   =========================================================

   PURPOSE:
   This is the primary stylesheet for the Quitired website.

   BRAND DIRECTION:
   - Teal + lavender
   - Clean white space
   - Warm, welcoming retirement/lifestyle feel
   - No navy or blue

   IMPORTANT:
   Keep this file organized in the same general order that
   sections appear in index.html.

   The website uses system fonts and includes a few temporary
   image/video placeholders that can be replaced as final assets
   are added.
