  1. Copy the prompt using the 📋 button above.
  2. Open ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or your preferred LLM).
  3. Paste the prompt into a new chat. Replace 3 bracketed placeholders ([website type: marketing site / web app / e-commerce / portfolio] [CSS framework: Tailwind/Bootstrap/vanilla CSS] [framework] ) with your own details.
  4. Run the prompt and review the AI's response. Most outputs are usable immediately.
  5. Iterate if needed — if the tone, length, or structure isn't quite right, reply with "make it shorter", "use bullet points", or "make it more formal" and the AI will refine it.

💡 Tips for better results

  • Replace the bracketed placeholders ([website type: marketing site / web app / e-commerce / portfolio], [CSS framework: Tailwind/Bootstrap/vanilla CSS], [framework]) with your own specifics before sending.
  • If the first output isn't quite right, ask the AI to refine, rewrite, or add more detail — iteration is key.
  • For long outputs, ask for a section at a time (e.g. 'start with the introduction only') to keep quality high.
  • Combine this with other design prompts to build an end-to-end workflow.
  • Save your favorite variations — small wording tweaks often produce noticeably different results.
