Customization Guide

Changing the Hero Quote:

Investor Page (index.html, line ~59):

<p class="hero-quote">"This is not a spiritual platform. This is a reciprocity-based economy architecture."</p>

Member Page (sparkverse.html, line ~51):

<p class="hero-quote">"Reality is programmable. You're the first spark."</p>

Edit CSS variables in main.css:

--spacing-xs: 0.5rem;
--spacing-sm: 1rem;
--spacing-md: 2rem;
--spacing-lg: 4rem;
--spacing-xl: 6rem;

Adding Animation:

Animations are minimal by design. To add more:
