/* businessenergyconsultant.co.uk, v2 (7 Oct 2026): Sam asked for the design STYLE of the Uswitch business
   energy page. Style only: sky-blue hero band, heavy black grotesk headings, black buttons with small radius,
   white cards on grey, a bright blue "how it works" band with black square number badges, square black ticks.
   No Uswitch logo, wording, photography or claims, and our own mark. Founders Grotesk is a paid face, so the
   headings use Hanken Grotesk and the body a Helvetica stack. */
