   All twelve services form one list. Desktop: a
   large dark stage (the photo of the service in focus, rings and corner brackets) sticks
   centred in the viewport beside the list. Below 1024 px every service shows its own large
   photo.
   Without JS the stage is hidden and every row keeps its photo; nothing depends on motion. */
