Suggested next steps

1. Create pages at /solutions, /industries, /about, and /contact.
2. Create a Webform for consultation requests and place it on /contact.
3. Add the primary menu links in Structure > Menus.
4. Replace placeholder branding with finalized logo artwork.
5. Add content types for Solution, Industry, Case Study, Insight, and Product.

Notes

The theme intentionally uses only local CSS and no third-party font service, making it suitable for offline local development. The generated homepage is a functional first implementation, not a pixel-perfect reproduction of the concept image.
