# grow-website

Runs a site that already gets traffic through eight phases: lead capture, message, offer, referrals. State lives in docs/, so you can pause and resume.

## What it does

Built for the case where visitors show up but nobody buys. It does not redesign the site on a hunch: research first, optimization second, and the offer always before page polish. Eight phases run in order, from diagnosing why visitors leave to linking the wins into one loop.

The skill does not invent frameworks itself. It invokes eight others: `cro-methodology`, `scorecard-marketing`, `storybrand-messaging`, `made-to-stick`, `influence-psychology`, `hundred-million-offers`, `contagious`, `one-page-marketing`. At every fork the agent asks a question with concrete options and its own recommendation, then records the choice in the tracker. Artifacts land in `docs/`: `WEBSITE.md`, `OFFER.md`, `MARKETING.md`, `GROW-WEBSITE-PLAN.md`. If a constituent skill is missing, it offers `npx skills add wondelai/skills/<slug> --global`; decline and the phase runs from a short brief instead.

Before anything starts you answer intake questions: what the site is, its primary conversion action, what traffic and conversion numbers you have, and whether visitor research already exists. With no research, phase 1 begins by gathering it. Phases 3 and 4 get skipped when a stranger already passes the five-second test on your message.

One rule stands out: every scarcity claim, testimonial and share incentive has to be true. A countdown that resets or a fabricated review poisons every honest claim that follows. Worth checking your pages before phase 5.

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/wondelai/skills/tree/HEAD/grow-website/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find out why visitors leave without buying
- capture leads who are not ready to purchase yet
- make the message clear to a stranger in five seconds
- rebuild an offer that visitors call too expensive
- add referral loops and connect the phases into one engine

## Example prompts
- run grow-website, my site gets visitors but nobody buys
- resume grow-website at phase 3, the tracker already exists
- run phase 6 of grow-website and rebuild the offer

Orchestrates eight skills phase by phase - cro-methodology, scorecard-marketing, storybrand-messaging, made-to-stick, influence-psychology, hundred-million-offers, contagious, one-page-marketing - asking the user questions at every decision point and recording results in the project docs/ folder (WEBSITE.md, OFFER.md, MARKETING.md, GROW-WEBSITE-PLAN.md) so the journey resumes across sessions. Use when the user wants to raise conversion on a site that already has traffic, capture more leads, sharpen a weak offer, add referral loops, or says ''my site gets visitors but nobody buys''. If a broken funnel or usability friction is the real blocker, run improve-website first; if there is no site yet, use create-website; for one leaking flow, conversion-optimization. For one framework in isolation, invoke that skill directly.'

# Grow a Website

Take a site that already has traffic and under-monetizes it, and turn it into a research-driven growth engine: more leads captured, more buyers persuaded, a sharper offer, and visitors who bring more visitors. This journey runs eight phases — the agent asks before it decides at every fork, and all state lives in `docs/` so you can stop and resume across sessions. It sequences the work; it does not redesign the site on a hunch.

## Core Principle

**Most traffic problems are conversion problems in costume: capture and convert the visitors you have before buying more.** This skill sequences the phases, asks the decision questions, and records every choice in `docs/`. The constituent skills carry the method — invoke them rather than improvising their frameworks. Research comes before optimization, and the offer comes before the page polish, always.

## Journey Map

| Phase | Skill | Question it answers | Artifact |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Discover why visitors leave | cro-methodology | Why do visitors not convert, and what is worth testing? | Extends docs/WEBSITE.md, docs/METRICS.md, docs/EXPERIMENTS.md |
| 2. Capture the not-ready 97% | scorecard-marketing | How do we keep the leads who aren't ready to buy? | Extends docs/WEBSITE.md, docs/MARKETING.md |
```
