/octave:microsite – Personalized ABM Microsite Builder

Generate personalized, single-page ABM microsites as beautiful self-contained HTML, powered by your Octave GTM knowledge base. Instead of “Hey, want to see a demo?” you send “We built something for you” with a link. The microsite shows effort, personalization, and immediately demonstrates you understand their business.

Why microsites work: They flip the cold outreach dynamic. A personalized landing page — “Built for [Company]” — is a pattern interrupt. It proves you researched the account, tailored your message, and invested time before asking for theirs.

How this differs from other skills:

• vs /octave:one-pager — one-pager is a post-meeting leave-behind; microsite is a pre-meeting attention grabber for outreach
• vs /octave:proposal — proposal is formal and detailed; microsite is concise and designed to generate interest
• vs /octave:deck — deck is for presenting; microsite is for sharing a link

Usage

/octave:microsite <target> [--angle <approach>] [--style <preset>]

Examples

/octave:microsite acme.com                                    # Personalized microsite for Acme
/octave:microsite acme.com --angle competitive                # Competitive angle (they use rival)
/octave:microsite jane@acme.com --angle pain-point            # Person-specific, pain-led
/octave:microsite "enterprise healthcare companies"           # Segment-level microsite template
/octave:microsite acme.com --style octave-brand               # Specific style preset
/octave:microsite acme.com --angle trigger                    # Trigger-based (recent news/event)

Instructions

When the user runs /octave:microsite:

Step 1: Understand the Context

If not provided via flags, ask the user interactively:

Target — “Who is this for?”

Who is this microsite for?

Provide any of the following:
- Company domain (e.g., acme.com)
- Person email (e.g., jane@acme.com)
- Segment description (e.g., "enterprise healthcare companies")

Target:

Angle — “What approach should this take?”

What angle should the microsite lead with?

1. Pain-point led — address a specific challenge they face
2. Competitive displacement — show a better way than their current approach
3. Value-led — lead with results and metrics from similar companies
4. Trigger-based — connect to a recent event, news, or milestone
5. Industry-specific — demonstrate deep expertise in their vertical

Your choice:

Call to Action — “What should they do next?”

What action should the microsite drive?

1. Book a demo
2. See a case study
3. Watch a video / product tour
4. Start a free trial
5. Reply to an email / start a conversation
6. Custom (describe it)

Your choice:

Brand — “Use your company’s brand styling?”

Should the microsite use your company's brand?

1. Yes — extract from my website (provide URL)
2. Yes — I'll provide brand assets (colors, fonts, logo)
3. No — I'll pick from style presets
4. Use Octave brand styling

Your choice:

Step 2: Octave Context Gathering

Based on the target, angle, and CTA, use Octave MCP tools to build deep personalization context. Always tell the user what you’re researching and why.

Call as many tools as needed. The more you know about the account, the more personalized the microsite. A great microsite layers company enrichment + playbook messaging + proof points + competitive intel into a narrative that feels hand-crafted. Don’t stop at one tool when four would give you a stronger page.

List vs Search — when to use which:

For All Microsites (Always Run)

Start with enrichment and qualification — this drives the personalization that makes microsites work:

For Person-Specific Microsites

When the target is an email address or named contact:

For Social Proof & Credibility

The proof section is what turns a microsite from marketing fluff into a compelling story:

For Competitive Angle

When the angle is competitive displacement:

For Trigger-Based Angle

When the angle is tied to a recent event or news:

Additional Context

Output of this step: Present a content outline to the user for approval:

MICROSITE OUTLINE: Built for [Company]
=======================================

Target: [Company name / Person name]
Angle: [Pain-point / Competitive / Value-led / Trigger-based]
CTA: [Book a demo / See case study / etc.]
Sections: [4-5 sections]

---

SECTION OUTLINE
---------------

1. HERO
   Headline: "[Built for Company] — [hook based on angle]"
   Subhead: "[One-sentence value statement]"

2. [SECTION 2 NAME]
   • [Key point grounded in research]
   • [Key point grounded in research]
   • [Key point grounded in research]

3. [SECTION 3 NAME]
   • [Content informed by playbook/value props]
   • [Content informed by playbook/value props]
   • [Content informed by playbook/value props]

4. [SECTION 4 NAME]
   • [Proof point 1 — metric, company, quote]
   • [Proof point 2 — metric, company, quote]
   • [Proof point 3 — metric, company, quote]

5. CTA
   Headline: "[Action-oriented ask]"
   Button: "[CTA text]"

---

Octave Sources Used:
• Company profile: [Company name] — [key insights used]
• Playbook: [Playbook name] — [messaging angle]
• Proof points: [N] references pulled from [industries]
• Competitive intel: [If applicable]
• Person profile: [If applicable]

---

Does this outline look good? I can:
1. Proceed to style selection and generation
2. Change the angle or messaging
3. Add or remove sections
4. Adjust the CTA

Wait for user approval before proceeding.

Step 3: Style & Brand

Two layers of brand apply to microsites:

1. Your brand (the sender’s brand) — logo, colors, fonts. This is what the microsite is styled with.
2. Their context (the recipient’s company) — the personalization that shows you researched them. This appears as content, not styling.

If user chose brand extraction in Step 1:

Use the same tiered brand extraction approach as the deck skill:

1. Tier 1: browser-use (best quality) — open the website, screenshot, extract computed styles (colors, fonts, logos) via JS eval, confirm with user
2. Tier 2: WebFetch (fallback) — fetch homepage HTML/CSS, parse CSS custom properties, font-family declarations, logo URLs, and meta theme-color
3. Tier 3: Manual (if neither works) — ask user to provide hex colors, font names, and logo files directly

If user chose a style preset:

Reference the deck skill’s STYLE_PRESETS.md. Use the same CSS variable system. Recommended defaults for microsites:

Tell the user what you picked and why. Let them override.

Step 4: Generate HTML

Build a single, self-contained HTML file. A microsite is a single scrolling page — visually striking, mobile-responsive, and heavily personalized.

Output Directory

Every microsite gets its own folder under .octave-microsites/:

.octave-microsites/
└── <kebab-case-company>-<YYYY-MM-DD>/
    └── <company>-microsite.html

Example: /octave:microsite acme.com produces .octave-microsites/acme-2026-02-11/acme-microsite.html

The entire .octave-microsites/ directory is in .gitignore — nothing here gets committed.

Page Sections by Angle

Pain-Point Led:

1. Hero — “Built for [Company]” + “[Company], here’s how [industry] leaders are solving [pain point]”
2. The Challenge — their specific pain, grounded in industry context and company signals
3. The Solution — 3 capabilities mapped to their pain points (card layout)
4. Social Proof — 2-3 relevant proof points (metrics, logos, quotes) from their industry
5. CTA — “See how this works for [Company]” + button

Competitive Displacement:

1. Hero — “Built for [Company]” + “There’s a better way than [current approach]”
2. The Gap — what their current solution likely cannot do (without naming competitor directly)
3. What’s Possible — vision of what better looks like, with metrics from switchers
4. Who’s Moved — proof points from companies who switched, similar industry/size
5. CTA — “See the difference” + button

Value-Led:

1. Hero — “Built for [Company]” + “[Industry] companies see [metric] with [your product]”
2. Why [Company] — personalized fit: their signals + your value props
3. Results — 3 big numbers from relevant case studies
4. How It Works — 3-step simple process
5. CTA — “Get your custom demo” + button

Trigger-Based:

1. Hero — “Built for [Company]” + “[Congratulations on / Given recent…]”
2. The Opportunity — connecting their trigger event to your value
3. Relevant Results — proof from similar situations
4. CTA — timely, specific ask

Key Design Principles

These rules are non-negotiable for microsites:

1. First impression matters — the hero must be visually striking with a gradient background, full viewport height, and the company name front and center
2. Personalization must be visible immediately — company name in the hero, not buried below the fold
3. Keep it SHORT — 4-5 sections max, each scannable in 5 seconds. This is not a blog post.
4. One CTA, repeated — the same ask in the hero (subtle) and the closing section (prominent). Do not confuse with multiple different asks.
5. Mobile-first — this WILL be opened from email on a phone. All clamp() values must work at 375px width. Test aggressively.
6. No sidebar, no navigation bar — single vertical scroll. Smooth, clean, focused.
7. Self-contained — inline CSS, no external requests beyond Google Fonts. NO tracking pixels, analytics, or third-party scripts.

Content Density Limits

If content exceeds limits, cut ruthlessly. Microsites are scannable, not comprehensive.

Animation Patterns

Scroll-triggered entrance animations using Intersection Observer:

.animate-in {
  opacity: 0;
  transform: translateY(24px);
  transition: opacity 0.7s ease, transform 0.7s ease;
}
.animate-in.visible {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: translateY(0);
}
/* Stagger children within a section */
.animate-in:nth-child(1) { transition-delay: 0.1s; }
.animate-in:nth-child(2) { transition-delay: 0.2s; }
.animate-in:nth-child(3) { transition-delay: 0.3s; }
.animate-in:nth-child(4) { transition-delay: 0.4s; }

Additional effects (use sparingly):

• Counter animation for metrics: numbers count up when scrolled into view
• Fade-scale for cards: transform: scale(0.96) to scale(1) on reveal
• Gradient shift on hero: subtle background gradient animation via CSS keyframes

Always respect prefers-reduced-motion:

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  .animate-in { opacity: 1; transform: none; transition: none; }
}

Responsive Breakpoints

/* Tablet */
@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .card-grid { grid-template-columns: 1fr; }
  .hero { min-height: 80vh; }
}

/* Mobile */
@media (max-width: 480px) {
  .section { padding: clamp(2rem, 6vh, 3rem) 1.25rem; }
  .heading-1 { font-size: clamp(1.8rem, 8vw, 2.5rem); }
}

Section Templates

Each section follows the pattern: <section class="section" id="[id]"><div class="section-inner">...</div></section>. Hero and CTA sections add the hero class for full-viewport layout.

Hero: built-for tag + heading-1 headline + body-lg subhead + optional soft CTA link to #cta Challenge / Problem: heading-2 + 3 pain-point blocks (each: heading-3 + body-text) Solution / Cards: heading-2 + card-grid with 3 cards (each: icon + heading-3 + body-text) Proof / Metrics: heading-2 + proof-grid with 3 proof blocks (each: big-number metric + label + short quote with attribution) Process / Steps: heading-2 + numbered steps (each: step-number + heading-3 + body-text) CTA: heading-1 headline + body-lg supporting line + cta-button link + optional contact info

All content elements use the animate-in class for scroll-triggered entrance animations.

Step 5: Delivery

After generating the HTML file:

1. Open the microsite in the default browser
2. Test mobile viewport if browser-use is available (resize to 375px width)
3. Present a summary:

MICROSITE READY
===============

Folder: .octave-microsites/<company>-<date>/
File:   .octave-microsites/<company>-<date>/<company>-microsite.html
Target: [Company name]
Angle:  [Pain-point / Competitive / Value-led / Trigger-based]
CTA:    [Book a demo / etc.]
Style:  [Preset name or "Custom Brand"]
Size:   [file size]

How to share:
• Host on any static file server, S3 bucket, or Netlify drop
• Or send the HTML file directly as an attachment
• Best shared as a link in your outreach email

Want me to:
1. Adjust the messaging or tone
2. Change the angle (e.g., switch from pain-led to value-led)
3. Add or remove sections
4. Create versions for different contacts at the same company
5. Generate the outreach email that includes this link (/octave:generate)
6. Done

Error Handling

Octave Connection Failed:

Could not connect to your Octave workspace.

The microsite builder can still work without Octave — you provide the content manually, and I’ll handle structure, style, and HTML generation. The result won’t have Octave-powered personalization, but it will still look great.

To reconnect: check your MCP configuration or run /octave:workspace status

Company Not Found:

I couldn’t find detailed intelligence for [target].

Options:

1. Proceed with general positioning from your library — I’ll use your best-fit playbook
2. Try a different domain or email
3. Provide company details manually (industry, size, challenges) and I’ll personalize from that

No Relevant Proof Points:

I couldn’t find proof points in [their industry / of their size].

Options:

1. Use your strongest proof points from adjacent industries
2. Use general metrics without company-specific quotes
3. Skip the proof section and lead with a stronger solution narrative

No Competitor Data (for Competitive Angle):

I don’t have data on the competitor they likely use.

Options:

1. Switch to a different angle (pain-point led or value-led)
2. Use general competitive positioning without naming the competitor
3. Provide competitor details manually and I’ll build the narrative

No Matching Playbook:

No playbook matches this audience profile directly.

I’ll use your general value props and positioning. After the microsite is built, consider creating a playbook for this segment: /octave:library create playbook

Browser-Use Unavailable (Brand Extraction):

Browser automation isn’t available for brand extraction.

Falling back to web fetch. If that doesn’t capture your brand accurately, you can provide colors and fonts manually.
