   blutaxprep.com — Blustone Bookkeeping & Tax Services
   Visual direction: BOLD & CONFIDENT.
     - near-black navy header + hero, light body sections, dark footer
     - oversized condensed-feeling display type, tight tracking
     - services as full-width numbered rows that fill with blue on hover
     - no photography: contrast, scale and colour do the work

   Palette is the brand blue from the client portal, so the website, the logo
   and BluStone Books all read as one company:
     #0B4EA2 deep · #1C9CE8 bright · #37ABEE light · #EAF3FC pale
   No external fonts or CDNs — the site is fully self-contained.
