<!-- lastmod moved 2026-09-01 -> 2026-09-07. Every route's content genuinely
     changed in between: the business moved to Wilmington, so the footer address,
     the schema PostalAddress and areaServed changed on all 34; four service
     pages went from ~50 visible words to 973-1610; three case studies gained a
     verifiability block; nine titles and eight descriptions were rewritten.
     🚫 Do not bump these on a CSS-only or version-string change. An inaccurate
     lastmod is a documented way to get Google to stop trusting the field. -->

  KREATED — sitemap.xml   LIVE 2026-09-01.

  The 34 indexable routes. Every one returns 200 on the apex in zero hops and
  carries a self-referencing canonical to the same URL.

  ⚠ 2026-09-01, first post-launch content batch: added /web-design-for-contractors/
  and the four /resources/ URLs, taking 18 to 23.
  ⚠ 2026-09-01, full SEO expansion: added the remaining four resources, taking
  23 to 27. The library was then seven resources.
  ⚠ 2026-09-01, FINAL content expansion: added seven resources, taking 27 to 34.
  The library is now fourteen. A commercial landing-page service URL was
  considered in the same pass and REJECTED on SERP evidence — Google answers
  that query with general web-design pages, so the page would have cannibalized
  /services/web-design/. See docs/SEO-ROADMAP.md §10 and §12.
  🚫 This was the last content-expansion batch. The next pass is an architecture
  audit, not more URLs.

  APEX URLS. The Netlify primary domain is the apex, www 301s to it
  path-preserving, and these URLs match the canonical on every page.
  🚫 Never write a www URL here.

  WHAT IS DELIBERATELY ABSENT:
    /thanks/                 a 26-word post-submit confirmation. No search
                             intent, a dead end, owner-excluded, and it now
                             carries "noindex, follow" in its own markup.
    /.netlify/functions/*    a POST-only endpoint, not a page.
    non-canonical variants   no www, no non-slashed forms, no query strings.

  🚫 Do not add a URL here that is not exactly the canonical on its own page.
