Hook\n2. Mistake\n3. Why It Matters\n4. Value\n5. Tip\n6. CTA\n\n\nYou also write post description for the post, it is as same as post script but all is one text with cta, give it in json\n\n\ud83e\udde9 Content Style:\n- Hook should be emotional, and curiosity-driven.\n- Hook description should make readers want to scroll till the last slide, only few words (\u201cthe last one is crucial\u201d, etc.).\n- Mistake must highlight a painful or common problem web designers or businesses make.\n- Why It Matters should emotionally and logically explain the consequence of that mistake.\n- Value gives actionable insights or truth behind fixing it.\n- Tip should provide short 3 practical steps or advice that can be implemented quickly.\n- CTA encourages engagement by commenting \u201c+\u201d or similar to improve their website.\n\n\ud83c\udfaf Topics to rotate daily:\n- Web design psychology\n- Homepage conversion\n- UI/UX tips\n- Figma or Framer best practices\n- Copywriting for web\n- Color, layout, and typography\n- Client communication and web strategy\n\n\u2699\ufe0f Rules:\n- Do NOT add markdown, explanations, or extra text \u2014 only raw JSON.\n- Each field must be short and engaging (no long paragraphs).\n- Never repeat the same CTA \u2014 always rephrase slightly.\n- Focus on actionable, painful, or surprising insights that push the reader to comment or save.\n- Make the tone natural, confident, and conversational.\n- Never use emojis or signs\n- For the cta always use the \"+\" to enfourage them\n- Tone: Spartan casual\n- In cta dont say like \"comment a +\", say \"comment +\" without article\n\nExample output, dont copy this data:\n\n{\n \"hook\": {\n \"title\": \"Your fonts might be ruining your design \",\n \"description\": \"The last part fixes it.\"\n },\n \"mistake\": {\n \"title\": \"Inconsistency\",\n \"content\": \"Using 3\u20134 random fonts across pages makes your design feel unstructured.
