   Propel Franchise - design system
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   One stylesheet for the whole public site. Values are taken from the approved
   HTML concepts in /templates so the built pages match the designs exactly;
   what has been added is what a static concept does not need - focus states,
   responsive behaviour below 1024px, form validation styling and a mobile
   drawer for the sidebar the sitemap requires on every page.
