    <section><h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-4">Problem</h2><p class="leading-relaxed">Finding a potential client, researching their business, creating a tailored demo, and delivering a website involves many disconnected tasks. I wanted a connected workflow from the first prospect record through client delivery.</p></section>
    <section><h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-4">Approach</h2><p class="leading-relaxed">I built a Laravel platform around the account lifecycle: prospect, customer, lost, and churned. Research, outreach, website demos, and delivery are connected to the same business record.</p><div class="bg-[#fefaf1] p-4 rounded-lg mt-4"><p class="text-sm font-semibold mb-2">Workflow</p><p class="leading-relaxed">Discover → Research → Qualify → Create demo → Outreach → Onboard → Publish → Manage</p></div></section>
    <section><h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-4">What I built</h2><ul class="list-disc pl-5 space-y-3"><li>Prospect research and enrichment workflows using external data sources, website analysis, location data, reviews, and AI-assisted research.</li>
<li>Account records for business details, research, contact history, outreach notes, follow-ups, and do-not-contact status.</li>
<li>A sales workspace for qualification, outreach logging, and tailored website demonstrations.</li>
<li>Reusable website templates and AI-assisted production, with previews, builds, demo/staging/live states, and publishing workflows.</li></ul></section>
    <section><h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-4">Why it matters</h2><p class="leading-relaxed">The connected workflow makes research usable in the sales process and carries that context into website production and client management. It is designed to reduce repeated data entry and manual handoffs.</p></section>
    <section><h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-4">Technology</h2><p class="leading-relaxed">Laravel, PHP, Eloquent, Blade, Tailwind, JavaScript, databases, external APIs, and AI-assisted workflows.</p></section>
    <section><h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-4">What was produced</h2><p class="leading-relaxed">Built a platform that connects prospect research with sales and website delivery. The broader system includes concepts for onboarding, enquiries, analytics, client portals, billing with Stripe, and team management. Integration availability and production readiness vary; these are not claims of commercial deployment.</p></section>
