1What every client gets (standard)
- Their own header plate, full width, with the whole plate opening the form.
- "No Pressure. Just Information." as the ribbon under the header, and the
close section in TKG's own words.
- The offer band — kit name and contents verbatim, with the
one-or-both clarifier tied to the form's Type of Need field.
- The questions tour — TKG's five Q&As, auto-advancing with the
progress bar; every answer verbatim.
- The video band — the generic TKG video by default; a client's own
video swaps in automatically when we have it (78 of 85 already do).
- The phones section — the without-a-plan / with-a-plan lock screens.
Identical for every client; no claims, no data needed.
- The form — TKG's production fields plus SMS consent, wired to the
same lead pipeline as the current page.
2Header options
Each funeral home runs its own plate. The first five new-style plates are live now
(Stuhr, Sellars, Kerr Brothers, Forbis & Dick, Moore) — pick any migrated home
in the builder or the client demo to show an owner the new style on a real page.
Remaining homes keep their current plate until a new one is exported; the page handles
either style.
DISCUSSHere’s your page with your
current header, and here’s the new style we’re rolling out. Same page
either way — the new plate drops in whenever it’s ready.
3Google reviews or generic quotes?
The reviews section ships with generic quote bubbles and no rating —
safe for every client from day one. The Google reviews version (rating badge +
the home’s three best recent written reviews) can be turned on per client when
their profile passes the audit:
- 4.7★ or higher, with at least 5 reviews, and at least
three substantial written five-star reviews (one-liners don’t count).
- The three featured reviews are confirmed with the funeral home at setup
— they always know exactly which quotes appear, and every quote is a real,
verbatim Google review. Never invented testimonials.
- Below the thresholds → the page stays on generic quotes and we revisit as
their review base grows.
DISCUSSYour rating is strong enough to lead
with — let’s pick the three reviews you’re proudest of. (or)
Let’s hold the rating off the page until the reviews build up.
4The counselor section (per-client opt-in)
A “Meet your counselor” section — real name, real photo, a short
introduction, and a book-a-time button only (it never carries a kit button) —
placed low on the page so it closes, rather than interrupts. The introduction copy is
deliberately claim-free (“My job is to answer your questions…”)
so it’s true for every counselor on day one. Off by default. Turning it on
requires all three:
- The client has a named, stable counselor (round-robin homes can’t
run it — the page hides it for them automatically).
- A real, current headshot we’d be proud to print.
- The client opts in.
If the counselor changes, tell us and the section updates from the
same data that runs the appointment page — no page rebuild.
5The community band (automatic)
“Since 1932 — serving families here for over 90 years.” Appears
automatically once we have the home’s founded year on file, and only when
the firm is 25+ years established. No year on file → the band simply isn’t
there, and the page is complete without it.
DISCUSSHow long has your family served this
town — and is it the same family? That number is one of the most persuasive
things on the page, so we only print it when it’s real.
6What stays off the page (and why)
- No dollar figures, ever — and never the home’s own prices.
Clients whose program locks prices can turn on the price-lock chart (relative
national NFDA data with a “your price stays here” marker); it replaces the
phones section for them. Everyone else answers cost questions in the Q&A tour, in
TKG’s own words.
- No extra buttons — the ask lives at the header, the offer band, and
the close. Every other section does its job without one.
- No invented reviews, years, or claims — if we don’t have the
data, the module hides. Nothing on the page is a placeholder.
- SMS consent is captured properly at the form (optional, TCPA-aligned),
so texting is compliant from day one.
7Why the page looks the way it does
The most common owner question will be “why isn’t this in my
colors?” The honest answer: their brand is on the page — the
logo, their name, their own building in the header, their locations, their video,
their counselor. The page’s colors have a different job: getting a
55–80-year-old reader to read comfortably and act. Every color here was chosen
for that job, and the choices weren’t casual — shades and alternatives
were compared before this palette won.
- Why blue: in consumer research it’s the most trusted color across
every age group — calm, institutional, credible. Exactly the feeling a
decision like this needs. Warmer palettes read either salesy or somber here;
blue reads steady.
- Why two blues: the page deliberately runs a two-tone system —
bright blue for fills and large headlines, deep navy wherever people actually
read. Bright blues fail accessibility contrast standards for normal-size text,
so every text/background pair on the page is checked against readability
standards for older eyes. Many home brand palettes fail that test the moment
they have to run a whole page.
- Why gold appears only on the buttons: contrast, not hue, is what gets
a button pressed — so the CTA is deliberately the only saturated warm
element on the page. Against the cool blue ground, the single warmest thing
on every screen is the thing we want them to click. Spread the accent around and
the ask disappears.
- Where the home’s identity lives instead: everywhere a family
actually looks for it — their name, their logo in the header, their building
in the plate, their locations, their video, their counselor’s face. Families
recognize people and places, not paint. A visitor who arrives from the home’s
own ad or email never wonders whose page this is.
- Why every home runs the same design: this layout is one tested system,
and it keeps being tested. Every improvement that wins rolls out to all 85 homes at
once. Eighty-five custom color schemes would mean eighty-five pages that stop
getting better — and homes competing nearby would start looking like each
other’s knockoffs instead of sharing one professional standard.
- Why the sections sit in this order: the header makes the offer in one
screen; the ribbon sets the tone; the offer band shows exactly what arrives, free;
families’ voices and the video build trust before we ask again; the questions
tour answers objections; the phones (or price-lock chart) make the benefit concrete;
community and counselor close it personally. Ask, reassure, prove, ask again.
- Why so much white space and so few buttons: this audience skews 55+ and
is reading about a hard subject. Big type, short sections, one idea at a time, and
the ask repeated at the top, middle, and close — never in between.
DISCUSSYour name, your building, your people,
your words — that’s what makes this page yours. The colors and layout are
the tested machinery underneath it, and keeping that identical for everyone is what
lets us keep improving it for you.
