   100% hand-written CSS. No Tailwind, no external libraries, no JS.
   Load immediately after creative-team.css — reuses the exact same
   tokens (--ink, --accent, --steel, --accent-deep, --steel-deep,

   NAMING GUIDE (strict BEM):
     .contact / .contact__*             → section wrapper + heading + layout
     .contact-form / .contact-form__*   → the message form card
     .contact-side                      → right column wrapper
     .contact-info / .contact-info__*   → info card (address/phone/email/hours)
     .contact-directions / __*          → "Get Directions" gradient panel
     .site-footer / .site-footer__*     → page footer
