   PAGE BANNER -- "DIAGONAL SPLIT" CONCEPT
   Ground-up redesign: a solid brand-gradient panel carrying the content
   on the left, a diagonally-clipped photo panel on the right, a dot-grid
   texture and glow blobs for depth, and a rotated location tag riding
   the seam between the two panels. Falls back to a simpler stacked
   layout on tablet/mobile in responsive.css.
