In WordPress, edit the homepage. Add\/replace the content area with a\n     single \"Custom HTML\" widget\/block (Elementor: \"HTML\" widget) and paste\n     EVERYTHING below into it. Leave your existing header and footer alone \u2014\n     this block is designed to sit between them.\n  2. Upload Marina_Layout.jpg to your WordPress Media Library first, then\n     copy its URL and paste it in place of the placeholder below, marked:\n     REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_MEDIA_URL\n  3. The \"Stay in touch\" box near the bottom is a placeholder. If you use\n     Mailchimp\/another provider's Elementor widget already, drop its embed\n     code into the marked spot instead of the plain mailto link.\n  4. Every internal link below points at your existing page IDs (pricing,\n     contact, FAQ, safety, gallery, things to do) so the nav still works.\n-->\n\n<div class=\"lm-redesign\">\n  <style>\n    .lm-redesign {\n      --lm-navy: #0f2438;\n      --lm-slate: #345066;\n      --lm-teal: #3f7b72;\n      --lm-sand: #f1ead9;\n      --lm-sand-dark: #e4d9c0;\n      --lm-brass: #ab7a35;\n      --lm-white: #fbfaf6;\n      --lm-ink: #1c2a30;\n      font-family: 'Public Sans', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;\n      color: var(--lm-ink);\n      background: var(--lm-white);\n      line-height: 1.55;\n      -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\n    }\n    .lm-redesign *, .lm-redesign *::before, .lm-redesign *::after { box-sizing: border-box;
