Your CSS structure is already genuinely strong and professionally organized. 

I analyzed it deeply for:

* responsiveness
* spacing consistency
* typography hierarchy
* EEAT presentation
* footer/header balance
* mobile behavior
* readability
* editorial feel
* SEO friendliness
* future scalability

The biggest issue is NOT bad design anymore.

The main issue is:

* duplicated mobile media blocks
* inconsistent spacing rhythm in some sections
* slightly oversized hero image height
* footer/header separation inconsistency
* lack of reusable spacing variables
* some typography can be smoother on large screens

Below is the professionally optimized version that:

* keeps your exact structure
* does NOT break layouts
* improves polish
* improves consistency
* improves readability
* improves premium feel
* improves scalability for 100+ articles
