> and intuitive user flow. Consider grid-based layouts and modular components
> for scalability.
> * *Typography & Iconography:*
> Update fonts and icons to reflect a clean, contemporary style that enhances
> clarity and professionalism.

> Ensure compliance with WCAG standards for contrast, keyboard navigation, and
> screen reader compatibility.

> Review and refactor front-end assets to improve load times and responsiveness
> across devices.
> * *Content Presentation:*

> h3. *Goals & Benefits:*

> ----
> h3. *Dependencies & Considerations:*
