  sitemap.xml — hillsidels.com
  41 verified-live URLs, apex hostname only (www 301s to apex).

  lastmod is intentionally omitted. Google ignores lastmod unless it
  is demonstrably accurate, and an inaccurate value costs trust.
  Add real values once the build emits them.

  Unbuilt URLs deliberately EXCLUDED from the sitemap. The portfolio
  detail pages are not built yet; /careers and /press were unlinked
  from the footer (2026-11) so nothing in navigation points at them:
    /portfolio/lake-forest-estate
    /portfolio/highland-park-courtyard  /portfolio/winnetka-pond
    /portfolio/glenview-front  /portfolio/deerfield-hoa
    /portfolio/lake-bluff-lighting  /careers  /press
