Unreleased

Added a New York-style display font stack for large latin headings while keeping SF-style UI text.
Switched the latin typography to an SF Pro-style system font stack for a more Apple-like feel.
Removed the desktop liquid glass WebGL layer from navbar and CTA controls so text remains readable and glass surfaces do not show dark rendering artifacts while scrolling.
Replaced the mobile hamburger dropdown with a fast, solid menu animation without bounce or stretch effects.
Kept the language switcher visible in the mobile top navigation bar.
Added cursor-reactive stretch motion to desktop nav links and matched the glossy dark WhatsApp CTA style on mobile.
Corrected the French 2004 trust wording to use "depuis" without "autour de".
Tightened mobile sizing for the WhatsApp nav pill and hero trust badge.
Balanced mobile navbar controls so the language switcher, WhatsApp CTA, and menu do not bunch up on the right.
Reduced the mobile gap between the reputation section and contact panel.
Let the mobile WhatsApp nav CTA stretch into available navbar space.

Fixed desktop hero image visibility by removing liquid glass from image-bearing containers, while applying liquid glass to navbar/buttons and adding a stronger CSS glass fallback.
Re-enabled liquid glass on desktop PCs using user-agent and pointer capability detection, while keeping it disabled on phones and tablets.
Changed trust stat label accent from blue to a softer neutral white tone.
Refined contact and trust UI: stat labels are now accented above values, French WhatsApp CTA says "Discuter sur WhatsApp", hours information is emphasized, and mobile navbar shows WhatsApp without opening the menu.
Updated customer-corrected business facts: New Optic is active since around 2004, does not offer eye exams, and offers contact lenses plus colored contact lenses.
Optimized mobile rendering by disabling heavy blur, fixed backgrounds, ambient animations, and WebGL glass below desktop widths.
Changed mobile CSS to reference only the compressed mobile background by default, keeping the full PNG desktop-only.
Added mobile content-visibility containment so offscreen sections do less rendering work on low-end devices.
Removed the WebGL liquid glass layer from the contact QR panel so the QR code renders immediately and remains scannable.
Reworked collection cards from abstract placeholders to image-led product cards.
Improved dark-section heading contrast.
