Typeface: Roboto, set once as Elementor global typography.

Build approach

Plan the structure. Map the page tree and navigation from the assigned layout: home, about, services with their sub-pages, sectors, team, reviews, blog and contact.
Set global styles. Define the dark palette with a gold accent and the typography once in Elementor, so every page stays consistent.
Build reusable parts. Create the header with its Services and About dropdowns, the footer, the gold call-to-action buttons and the section containers once, then reuse them.
Assemble the pages. Build each page from containers and widgets, using the supplied content and images.
Make it responsive. Check and adjust layouts, spacing and type at desktop, tablet and mobile breakpoints.
Polish. Add custom CSS and basic animations to improve the design, responsiveness and user experience.
