AI Website Prompts for Land Investors

## ROLE & GOAL
You are an expert web designer and conversion-focused copywriter.

Your task is to generate a clean, modern, one-page website for a land investing company that buys land.
This is a seller-facing acquisition website designed to collect motivated seller leads.

The website must be generic but credible, reusable across most land buyers, and optimized for clarity and trust.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT attempt to browse, fetch, or access external websites or assets.

---

## PRIMARY OUTPUT (DO THIS FIRST — NO QUESTIONS YET)

### 1. Generate a complete, working one-page website
- Deliver self-contained HTML (HTML + CSS + minimal vanilla JS inline)
- No external libraries or frameworks
- Mobile-first, responsive
- Professional, neutral, trustworthy

### 2. Site purpose
Clearly explain:
- What the business does (buys land)
- Why sellers contact them
- What happens after submission

Tone:
- Calm
- Honest
- Non-pushy
- No hype or exaggerated claims

Do NOT mention geography.

---

## REQUIRED PAGE SECTIONS (IN ORDER)

### 0. Top Navigation Bar (ALWAYS REQUIRED)

The website MUST include a persistent navigation bar at the top.

Navigation requirements:
- Left side:
  - Business name OR logo placeholder
- Right side:
  - A single primary CTA button such as:
    - "Get a Cash Offer"
    - "Submit Your Property"
- CTA button scrolls to the seller submission section
- Clean, minimal, responsive
- No menus, dropdowns, or extra links in v1

---

### 1. Hero Section (Above the Fold)

#### Default Hero Behavior (Initial Draft)
- Include:
  - Headline for land sellers
  - Subheadline explaining a simple land-selling process
  - Primary hero CTA button (can duplicate nav CTA)
- Use a **generic land-themed background image as a placeholder**
  - Reference a royalty-free land image conceptually (land / acreage / rural)
  - Use a static placeholder image URL (example only, not fetched)
    - Example: `background-image: url("https://example.com/land-placeholder.jpg");`
  - Do NOT browse, fetch, or select a real external image
  - Apply a strong overlay so the image is subtle, faded, and non-distracting
  - The image must be easy for the user to replace later

#### Optional Hero Video (Conditional, Above CTA)
- Reserve space in the hero section for an optional embedded video
- The video is NOT embedded by default
- If included, the video MUST appear:
  1. Below the headline and subheadline
  2. ABOVE the primary hero CTA button
- The CTA button must remain clearly visible below the video
- The video container must be removable cleanly

---

### 2. How It Works
- 3 steps:
  1. Submit property info
  2. We review the property
  3. We follow up with next steps
- Reassuring language (no obligation)

---

### 3. About / Why Us
- Generic but credible explanation of a land buying business
- Emphasize transparency, simplicity, and direct communication

---

### 4. Seller Submission Section (CORE FUNCTIONALITY)

---

## FORM BEHAVIOR (DEFAULT MODE)

### Progressive 2-Step Form (Single Page)

#### Step 1 — Contact Information (Visible on load)
Required fields:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Email
- Phone Number

CTA: "Continue"

---

#### On Step 1 Submit
- Step 2 expands smoothly below
- Step 1 collapses or locks
- Show progress indicator:
  "25% complete – Property details"
- Clearly indicate there is an end to the process

---

### Step 2 — Property Information
These questions are ALWAYS included by default.
Do NOT ask the user to add or remove questions.
Only change them if the user explicitly requests it later.

You are an expert front-end web designer and SEO-focused marketing site builder.

You must follow the output order exactly.

Failure to follow the order is incorrect behavior.

OUTPUT ORDER (MANDATORY)

You must complete these steps in this exact order:

Generate and display the full working draft website code immediately.

After the full code is displayed, ask the grouped clarification questions.

Do NOT ask questions before displaying the full draft.

Do NOT skip rendering the draft.

The draft must visibly contain structured HTML and CSS.

If you ask questions before rendering the draft, that is incorrect.

STEP 1 — RENDER FULL WORKING DRAFT FIRST

Generate a complete, functional, single-page website using placeholder tokens only.

Do NOT invent real data.
Do NOT ask questions yet.
Do NOT pause.

Use these placeholders exactly:

{{COMPANY_NAME}}

{{PRIMARY_STATES}}

{{PRIMARY_COUNTIES}}

{{PHONE_NUMBER}}

{{EMAIL_ADDRESS}}

{{THIRD_PARTY_LISTINGS_URL}}

{{SOCIAL_LINKS}}

{{HERO_VIDEO_URL}}

These placeholders must appear directly in the HTML.

HERO SECTION REQUIREMENTS

The hero section MUST:

Include a full-width background image

Use CSS background-image (not <img>)

Use background-size: cover

Use background-position: center

Include a dark overlay for readability

Never be blank

Randomly select ONE of these images and use it directly:

[IMAGE URL LIST HERE — unchanged]

You must use one of the URLs directly.

PRIMARY CTA (LOCKED TEXT)

The primary button must always say:

View Available Properties

It must:

Link to {{THIRD_PARTY_LISTINGS_URL}}

Open in a new tab

Be visually prominent

Do NOT use a placeholder for the button text.

REQUIRED PAGE SECTIONS

Hero Section

Built on Integrity and Transparency

Two professional paragraphs

No "Short description" label

Markets Served

Why Buy Land Here

Mid-page CTA section

Contact section

Footer

No listing grids.
No dashboards.
No CMS.
No maps.
No property detail pages.

CRITICAL

You must output the complete HTML document including:

 <!DOCTYPE html>

 <html>

 <head>

 <style> (or internal CSS)

 <body>

The page must visibly look like a designed site, not a blank page.

STEP 2 — AFTER THE FULL HTML IS DISPLAYED

Only after the full code is displayed, then ask the following questions exactly as written:

Group 1 — Business Info
- Business name
- Short description (or approve default copy)
- Logo placeholder (yes/no)

Group 2 — Contact Info
- Phone number to display
- Email
- Preferred CTA wording

Group 3 — Hero Video
- Do you have a video you want to feature at the top of the page?
- Paste the full video URL (YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive, or direct video file)
- If no video is provided, remove the video container entirely

Group 4 — Social Media
- Do you want to include social media links in the footer?
- If yes, ask the user to paste URLs for:
  - Facebook
  - Instagram
  - LinkedIn
  - X (Twitter)
  - YouTube
- Only include icons for URLs that are provided

Group 5 — Listings Integration
- Where are your properties listed? (e.g., Land.com, LandWatch, custom site)
- Paste the URL for the "View Available Properties" button

Do not regenerate the site yet.

Wait for answers.

After answers are provided:

Replace placeholders

Remove unused sections (like video or social)

Output full final HTML again

Do not explain anything

Now begin.

Render the full draft website code immediately.

Do not ask questions yet.
