Minutes 10-12: Contact Form and Final Polish
Final Enhancement Prompt
Add a contact section before the footer with:
- Split layout: contact form on left, contact info on right

Smooth Scrolling JavaScript

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
const links = document.querySelectorAll('a[href^="#"]');
links.forEach(link => {
link.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
const targetId = this.getAttribute('href');
const targetSection = document.querySelector(targetId);
if (targetSection) {
targetSection.scrollIntoView({
behavior: 'smooth',
block: 'start'
});
}
});
});
// Form submission
const contactForm = document.getElementById('contact-form');
contactForm.addEventListener('submit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
alert('Thank you for your message! We\'ll get back to you soon.');
this.reset();
});
});

Time-Saving Tips and Tricks
1. Use Comprehensive Initial Prompts
Instead of:
Create a landing page
Use:
Create a modern SaaS landing page with navigation, hero section with email signup,
features grid, pricing table, testimonials, contact form, and footer.
Use Tailwind CSS, gradient backgrounds, and smooth animations.
2. Batch Related Requests
Combine multiple features in one prompt:
Add both a pricing section with 3 tiers AND a testimonials section with 3 reviews
3. Leverage Built-in Optimizations
Request optimizations upfront:
Include mobile responsiveness, smooth scrolling, and loading animations from the start
4. Use Specific Design Patterns
Reference known patterns:
Create a hero section like Stripe's landing page with gradient text and modern design
5. Skip Iterations with Detailed Descriptions
Be specific about styling:
Use a blue-to-purple gradient, rounded buttons, card shadows on hover, and 16px spacing
Speed Development Patterns
Pattern 1: The Component Library Approach
Start with:
Create a landing page using shadcn/ui components with sections for:
hero, features, pricing, testimonials, CTA, and footer
Pattern 2: The Template Reference
Reference existing designs:
Create a landing page similar to Vercel's homepage but for a file sync service
Pattern 3: The Feature List Method
Provide a complete list upfront:
Landing page requirements:
- Sticky navigation with smooth scroll
- Hero with video background
- 3-column feature grid
- Pricing comparison table
- Customer logos carousel
- Newsletter signup
- Contact form with validation
Common Speed Pitfalls to Avoid
1. Over-Iteration
Don't: Make 20 small changes one by one Do: Batch changes into comprehensive updates
2. Vague Descriptions
Don't: "Make it look better" Do: "Add shadows to cards, increase spacing to 24px, use Inter font"
3. Forgetting Mobile
Don't: Add mobile responsiveness as an afterthought Do: Include "mobile-responsive" in your initial prompt
4. Missing Key Sections
Don't: Add sections incrementally Do: List all sections in your first prompt
Advanced Speed Techniques
1. The Power Stack
Always mention your tech stack upfront:
Create a landing page using: Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js for interactions,
and AOS library for scroll animations
2. The Conversion Formula
Include conversion elements from the start:
Include conversion-optimized elements: urgency indicators, social proof,
trust badges, and clear CTAs above the fold
3. The Performance Pack
Request optimizations immediately:
Ensure the page loads fast with: lazy loading, optimized images,
minified code, and critical CSS inline
