Updates the SWxSOC GitHub Pages site from the default Tactile theme to a modern design system.

Changes

Visual Design (assets/css/custom.css - new)

  • CSS variables for color system (blue theme: #2563eb, #3b82f6, #60a5fa)
  • Modern font stack: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', 'Roboto'
  • Gradient buttons with hover lift effects
  • Custom list bullets (→) with hover animations
  • Hero card styling for intro paragraph
  • Section dividers with accent bars
  • Smooth transitions throughout (0.3s cubic-bezier)
  • Mobile breakpoint at 768px
  • Enhanced focus states for accessibility

Content Structure (index.md)

  • Standardized heading hierarchy ("What can we do for you?" → h2)
  • Bold mission names (HERMES, PADRE)
  • Consistent list formatting (dashes, not colons)
  • Grammar fix: "bucket for new files" (was "bucket new files")

Template (_includes/head-custom.html)

  • Link to custom stylesheet

Example

Before: Standard bullets with basic link styling

* Link text with default appearance

After: Custom arrows with gradient hover effects

#main_content ul li:before {
    content: "→";
    color: var(--primary-color);
}
#main_content ul li:hover {
    padding-left: 2.5rem;
    color: var(--primary-color);
}

Performance impact: +10KB CSS, no JavaScript, fully cacheable.
