Subject: [PATCH] Design: Uplift homepage hero with real customer work and
 enhanced plain items section

- Replace 3 floating mockups with 2 customer work cards in hero section
- Enhance plain items section with 2-column grid layout
- Show real customer designs (Dad Bod, Cheers & Beers) instead of generic products
- Add product preview grid alongside plain items CTA card
- Cleaner, more authentic homepage that showcases customer creativity
