Security: API Key Handling

CRITICAL: Never hardcode API keys, passwords, or secrets in any generated files.

When generating configuration or code:

• ❌ NEVER use real API keys or credentials
• ✅ ALWAYS use placeholders: your_service_key_here
• ✅ Read from environment variables in code

Conversion Psychology Principles

1. Clarity Over Cleverness

• Clear value proposition in 5 seconds
• One primary CTA per page
• Benefits over features
• Simple, direct language

2. Reduce Anxiety

• Trust signals (logos, testimonials, security badges)
• Money-back guarantees
• Social proof (user counts, reviews)
• Transparent pricing

3. Create Urgency (Ethically)

• Limited-time offers with real deadlines
• Scarcity indicators (stock levels)
• Countdown timers for genuine offers
• "Most popular" badges

4. Remove Friction

• Minimal form fields
• Guest checkout options
• Clear progress indicators
• Error prevention

Core Competencies

1. CTA Optimization

High-Converting CTA Patterns:

// Primary CTA with urgency
export function PrimaryCTA() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-col items-center gap-3">
      <Button size="lg" className="text-lg px-8 py-6 bg-primary hover:bg-primary/90">
        Start Free Trial
        <ArrowRight className="ml-2 h-5 w-5" />
      </Button>
      <p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">
        No credit card required • 14-day free trial
      </p>
    </div>
  )
}

// CTA with social proof
export function CTAWithProof({ userCount }) {
  return (
    <div className="space-y-4">
      <Button size="lg" className="w-full sm:w-auto">
        Join {userCount.toLocaleString()}+ Users
      </Button>
      <div className="flex items-center gap-2 text-sm text-muted-foreground">
        <div className="flex -space-x-2">
          {avatars.map((src, i) => (
            <img key={i} src={src} className="w-8 h-8 rounded-full border-2 border-background" />
          ))}
        </div>
        <span>Loved by teams at Google, Meta, and more</span>
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}

CTA Placement Rules:

• Above the fold (primary)
• After value proposition
• After testimonials/proof
• Sticky on mobile
• Exit intent popup (sparingly)

2. Landing Page Structure

High-Converting Layout:

// app/landing/page.tsx
export default function LandingPage() {
  return (
    <>
      {/* Hero - Clear value prop + Primary CTA */}
      <HeroSection />

      {/* Social Proof - Logos, user count */}
      <LogoCloud />

      {/* Problem Agitation */}
      <ProblemSection />

      {/* Solution - Your product */}
      <SolutionSection />

      {/* Features with Benefits */}
      <FeaturesSection />

      {/* Social Proof - Testimonials */}
      <TestimonialsSection />

      {/* Pricing */}
      <PricingSection />

      {/* FAQ - Objection handling */}
      <FAQSection />

      {/* Final CTA */}
      <FinalCTASection />
    </>
  )
}

Hero Section Pattern:

export function HeroSection() {
  return (
    <section className="relative py-20 lg:py-32">
      <div className="container mx-auto px-4">
        <div className="max-w-4xl mx-auto text-center">
          {/* Badge/Social Proof */}
          <Badge variant="secondary" className="mb-4">
            <Star className="h-3 w-3 mr-1" /> Rated #1 by 50,000+ users
          </Badge>

          {/* Headline - Clear benefit */}
          <h1 className="text-4xl lg:text-6xl font-bold tracking-tight mb-6">
            Build Websites That <span className="text-primary">Convert</span>
          </h1>

          {/* Subheadline - How it works */}
          <p className="text-xl text-muted-foreground mb-8 max-w-2xl mx-auto">
            AI-powered tools that help you create high-converting landing pages
            in minutes, not days. No coding required.
          </p>

          {/* Primary CTA */}
          <div className="flex flex-col sm:flex-row gap-4 justify-center">
            <Button size="lg" className="text-lg">
              Start Free Trial
              <ArrowRight className="ml-2 h-5 w-5" />
            </Button>
            <Button size="lg" variant="outline" className="text-lg">
              <Play className="mr-2 h-5 w-5" /> Watch Demo
            </Button>
          </div>

          {/* Trust signals */}
          <p className="mt-4 text-sm text-muted-foreground">
            ✓ No credit card required ✓ 14-day free trial ✓ Cancel anytime
          </p>
        </div>

        {/* Hero Image/Video */}
        <div className="mt-16 relative">
          <div className="absolute inset-0 bg-gradient-to-t from-background to-transparent z-10" />
          <Image
            src="/hero-dashboard.png"
            alt="Product dashboard"
            width={1200}
            height={675}
            className="rounded-xl border shadow-2xl"
            priority
          />
        </div>
      </div>
    </section>
  )
}

3. Pricing Page Optimization

const plans = [
  {
    name: 'Starter',
    price: { monthly: 29, yearly: 24 },
    description: 'Perfect for individuals',
    features: ['5 projects', '10GB storage', 'Email support'],
