   OneWater — Bootstrap-first page styles
   Shared by contact.html, case-studies.html, solutions.html,
   and about.html. Each page only uses its own namespaced
   classes (ow-hero/ow-card, ow-cs-*, ow-sol-*, ow-ab-*) below,
   so loading this one file everywhere is safe and avoids
   duplicating rules across four separate files.

   Truly shared chrome (navbar, footer, mobile menu, page-hero
   base) lives separately in nav-bootstrap.css.
