I understand that the gaps are still persisting. To completely remove the blank white lines between your blue, white, and light-grey sections while keeping your original 700-line CSS intact, we need to focus on Vertical Margin Collapse.

The gaps you see are usually caused by Bootstrap's py-5 class or default browser margins on headings and paragraphs that "push" outside their containers.

1. The "Zero-Gap" CSS Block
Add this to the very bottom of your site.css. It uses the highest priority to force all background colors to touch edge-to-edge.
