TK-11556: add home-page editorial content section (146 -> 444 words)
1a37ae5e2caf2ed442a507a991efcc7705efc6ab · 2026-09-12 23:56:28 -0700 · Steve Abrams
AdSense readiness flagged the home page as thin content (146 words, want
>=300). Added a substantive "Wallcoverings for the Carmel Coast" section
covering grasscloth, linen/natural textures, and botanical/coastal prints,
plus a service paragraph on samples and trade pricing. Verified locally:
textLen(home html) now returns 444 words using the exact counter from
adsense-manager's audit.mjs.

+ <h2>Wallcoverings for the Carmel Coast</h2>
+ <p class="about-intro">Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pebble Beach and Big Sur share a particular kind of light — soft, marine, filtered through cypress and coastal fog. The wallcoverings in this collection are chosen for how they read in that light: natural fibers, muted botanicals and textures that don't compete with an ocean view or a weathered-wood interior. Every pattern is sourced through Designer Wallcoverings, a trade resource with decades of experience fitting materials to Central Coast homes.</p>
+ <div class="about-grid">
+ <div>
+ <h3>Grasscloth</h3>
+ <p>The most requested material for Carmel dens, studies and powder rooms. Woven from arrowroot, sisal or jute, it adds texture and warmth without a visible pattern repeat, and pairs naturally with the reclaimed wood and stone finishes common to Monterey County architecture.</p>
+ </div>
+ <div>
+ <h3>Linen & Natural Textures</h3>
+ <p>A quieter alternative to grasscloth — a fine woven texture across a narrower range of tone, suited to bedrooms and hallways where a calmer backdrop is wanted. Several patterns here use raffia and natural-fiber blends for added depth.</p>
+ </div>
+ <div>
+ <h3>Botanical & Coastal Prints</h3>
+ <p>For rooms that want a focal wall, these patterns reference the region directly — cypress branches, coastal grasses, shoreline palettes in sand, sage and driftwood gray. Best used on a single accent wall or inside a powder room, where a bolder repeat feels intentional rather than overwhelming.</p>
+ </div>
+ </div>
+ <p class="about-service">Every product page links to a full-size view and a free memo sample request through Designer Wallcoverings. Because grasscloth, linen and other natural materials can vary between production runs, we recommend ordering a physical sample before committing to a full order — screen colors rarely match the finished material exactly, especially in the coastal light this collection is built around. Trade pricing and installation guidance are available for design professionals working on Carmel, Pebble Beach and Big Sur projects; reach our team at <a href="mailto:info@carmelwallpapers.com">info@carmelwallpapers.com</a>.</p>
