# Build the best alternative frontend

Purpose:: Build the perfect alternative to your direct competitors: their best parts plus what visitors in this space are used to.

Rules::
- Reference = your captured competitors (funnels and sitemaps) and your inspiration site
- Take the best part of each; keep what is traditional in the space
- Presentation only; login, API and dashboard logic keep working

Inventory::
- Competitor funnels, sitemaps and screenshots
- Your site's repo and a headless browser for screenshots

Steps::
1. Per competitor: note the landing, pages and flow
2. List what they all share (traditional) and the best part of each
3. Build the header, footer and home, then the other public pages from that list
4. Deploy; screenshot desktop and mobile; compare with the competitor screenshots; fix
5. Reply: pages built and which competitor each best part came from

Metrics::
- A visitor of any competitor feels at home
- It looks better than each of them
- Login, signup and dashboard still work
