Create Landing Page

Requirements
What the landing page is for (product, service, event, portfolio, etc.). Optional: target audience, preferred style, specific sections wanted.
2

Discuss the landing page request. Assess against the viability guide you just read.

Ask clarifying questions about: goal (signups, sales, awareness), audience,
main CTA, visual style, and sections needed.

Present a structured outline:

[Page Name] - Proposed Design

Goal: [conversion goal]
Sections: Hero, [other sections], Footer
Visual Style: [description]
Primary CTA: [button text]

Ask: "Does this capture what you want?" DO NOT proceed until user confirms.

3

Create technical plan (share with user for transparency):

Page Structure:

  • [list all sections with semantic HTML elements]

Components Needed:

  • [list reusable components: cards, buttons, forms, etc.]

Interactive Elements:

  • [list: accordions, carousels, modals, smooth scroll, etc.]

Content Blocks:

  • [list specific content needed: headlines, feature descriptions, testimonials]

Assets Needed:

  • [list any images, icons, or graphics needed]

Self-validate: Is this achievable as a single HTML file?
If scope creep detected, simplify and re-confirm with user.

4

If images/graphics are needed (identified in Phase 2):

For each required image, use skillImage Hosting to generate
and host it. Collect all public URLs.

Document: "Assets ready: [list URLs]"

If no custom images needed (using CSS graphics, emoji, or external
images the user provides), proceed to Phase 4.

7

Create session/{page-name}/ directory ({page-name} = lowercase, hyphens).

Build HTML skeleton:

  • DOCTYPE, head with meta tags (viewport, charset, title, description)
  • Favicon (emoji or hosted image)
  • Semantic HTML structure for ALL sections from Phase 2 plan
  • CSS variables for colors, fonts, spacing (empty values for now)
  • Empty style blocks for each section
  • Basic responsive container structure

Section structure:

  • header (sticky nav)
  • main with section elements for each content block
  • footer

Save to session/{page-name}/ directory.

Verify: Does HTML structure match Phase 2 plan? All sections present?

8

Implement ALL content and functionality from Phase 2 plan:

Content:

  • All headlines, subheadlines, body text
  • Feature descriptions
  • Testimonials (with names, titles, photos if available)
  • Pricing details (if applicable)
  • FAQ questions and answers
  • Footer links and copyright

Functionality:

  • Smooth scroll navigation
  • Mobile menu toggle (if needed)
  • FAQ accordions (details/summary)
  • Form handling (mailto: or external service)
  • Any carousels or sliders (CSS-only)

Basic Styling:

  • CSS variables populated with colors
  • Typography hierarchy applied
  • Grid/flex layouts for sections
  • Spacing and padding

Checkpoint: All content from Phase 2 is now visible and functional.
NO TODOs, NO "Lorem ipsum", NO placeholder content.

9

Add polish layer:

Hover States:

  • All buttons and links have :hover
  • Cards lift on hover (transform + shadow)
  • Navigation items highlight

Focus States:

  • Visible focus rings for accessibility
  • Tab order is logical

Transitions:

  • Smooth transitions on all interactive elements (150-300ms)
  • No jarring instant changes

Responsive:

  • Mobile-first @media queries
  • Touch-friendly tap targets (44px minimum)
  • Text readable at all sizes
  • Images scale appropriately
  • Navigation collapses on mobile

Visual Polish:

  • Consistent spacing rhythm
  • Visual hierarchy guides the eye
  • Subtle backgrounds (gradients, patterns)
  • Shadows for depth
  • Entrance animations (fade-in on scroll)
