Template Playbook

Keep Hermes templates source-safe: use benchmark signals for structure and interaction patterns, not copied text, brand assets, screenshots, or styling.
Favor section-rich homepages with clear navigation, visible CTAs, source evidence, maps, search preview, and launch readiness.
Use responsive bitmap assets with fixed dimensions, srcset candidates, and lazy loading below the fold.
Preserve LocalBusiness JSON-LD only from source-backed fields and keep demos noindex until the owner approves launch.
Strengthen inquiry planners, contact copy controls, and map/contact CTAs across templates.
When adding forms later, keep them explicit, opt-in, and separate from cold outreach automation.
