Subject: [PATCH] fix: remove duplicate CTAs and calendar reference
- services/page.tsx: remove duplicate 'Talk to us' (both went to /contact);
fix 'Book Free Consultation' missing href; swap to BeamButton for consistency
- about/page.tsx: remove 'Contact Us' button duplicating BeamButton on same page;
remove now-unused Button import
- contact/page.tsx: replace "directly in our calendar" with call-back copy
since no calendar integration exists yet

About Axil
- The accountants who work as hard as you do
+ Sustainable growth through technology and expertise
- Founded in 2012, Axil Accountants set out to do one thing differently: make
- professional accounting accessible, affordable, and genuinely useful for every UK
- business owner.
+ Axil Accountants Ltd is a 2-partner ACCA-certified firm dedicated to helping UK
+ businesses grow sustainably — through smart technology, quality accounting, and
+ access to markets you haven't explored yet.
- We believe every business deserves great accounting
+ Problem-solving accounting for a modern business world
- For too long, small and medium UK businesses have been underserved by accounting
- firms that are too big to care, or too small to be reliable. Axil was built to
- fill that gap.
+ We are a 2-partner firm focused on delivering problem-solving solutions. Our
+ objectives include maintaining the highest quality in Audit and Accounts services
+ while contributing to the environment by running a fully paperless firm.
- We combine the expertise and rigour of a top-tier firm with the personal service
- and accessibility that growing businesses actually need. Your dedicated account
- manager knows your business by name, not by number.
+ We know that now more than ever, you need better, smarter approaches to working.
+ Helping you improve your financial performance means collaboration, regular
+ contact, and quality conversations — so we truly understand the specific needs of
+ your organisation.
