Greptile Summary

This PR implements a comprehensive UI/UX overhaul for the About section as part of addressing issue #252. The changes include two main components:

CSS Redesign (styles/about.css):
The file has been completely restructured with a new purple-based design system (#5a32ea) replacing the previous blue palette. Key improvements include:

• Implementation of CSS custom properties for consistent theming
• Enhanced typography hierarchy using Playfair Display for headings
• Sticky header with box shadows and smooth animations
• Card-based layouts with hover effects and transforms
• Comprehensive accessibility features including focus-visible states
• Extensive responsive design breakpoints for mobile compatibility
• Gradient backgrounds and modern visual effects

The CSS file has grown from ~300 to ~540 lines, indicating a substantial enhancement in visual presentation and user experience.

Navigation Fix (pages/about.html):
A critical navigation path correction changes the Home link from index.html to ../index.html, properly accounting for the file's location in the /pages subdirectory. This ensures users can navigate back to the homepage from the About page.

Integration with Codebase:
These changes align with CodeClip's goal of providing an engaging platform for coding challenges. The About page serves as a key entry point for new users, so improving its visual appeal and navigation functionality directly supports user onboarding and engagement. The responsive design ensures accessibility across devices, which is crucial for a web-based coding platform.

Confidence score: 2/5

• This PR has significant implementation issues that could cause problems if merged as-is
• The about.html file contains extensive inline CSS (lines 113-302) that duplicates existing styles, problematic absolute CSS paths, and JavaScript imports that may not exist
• The files pages/about.html and styles/about.css need careful review - the HTML file has structural issues while the CSS changes appear well-implemented
