Dark mode fixed site-wide, 10-question FAQs on category pages, sharper page titles
Fixed a site-wide dark-mode issue where many headings, input labels and the search box were hard to read or invisible against the dark background -- every page now renders correctly in dark mode. Each calculator category page (e.g. General, Mortgage, Savings) now shows a 10-question FAQ with the first three open and FAQ structured data. Page titles across all calculators were shortened so they no longer get cut off in Google search results. Also added a dedicated Hire Purchase (HP) calculator at /calculators/hire-purchase/.
