BUILD PROMPTS
PROMPTS THAT GET CLAUDE TO BUILD GREAT WEBSITES
REAL PROMPTS FROM 4 MONTHS OF SITE BUILDS. SWAP IN YOUR OWN [DETAILS].
FIRST
These are just examples to give you an idea of what Claude can do. Feel free to use them as is to get started.
But the fun really starts when you customize the prompts and start seeing what your original ideas actually look like.
PLAN FIRST
USE BEFORE ANY DESIGN WORK"Let's make a master build plan around a topical map for a new website on [domain]. It's a directory for people looking to buy [product] near me. Engineered for maximum internal link flow so crawling is a breeze. Entity, semantic and buyer intent all need to be planned so this site is an on-page ranking machine."
"Let's plan a new site. I really want to plan this build and launch very carefully. We've learned enough to make it happen how it's supposed to without failure. I want the site to be a super helpful go-to reference for people looking to learn how to [topic]."
"Help me design the most converting page possible. Extra on everything. High-polished conversion machine. We're targeting [buyer] who want it done without having to understand the how and why. Let's talk this out with what you know vs what I'm after. If you're not clear on what I want, just ask."
DESIGN ROUNDS
GET OPTIONS, REACT HARD, REPEAT"Take a look at the site, then let's make 4 insane design ideas."
"I like A, and the effort that went into C is awesome. I don't like B and D. Let's make 4 more. Go HARD."
The second round is almost always the best one.
"Let's get into the UI/UX skills and make 4 new homepage examples. Make them look how the literal best [service] company in [city]'s website should look. Not flashy, but a really clean, polished look."
"Please don't waste my time with templates or low-quality samples. Make it look Super Intelligence AF."
"Clean, but not boring like most directories are. The audience is 21 to 40, so make them think the site is cool, but not corny."
"All of these samples look far too much like typical AI-made templates. I can't have anything like that for this site."
"Without being influenced by the site's current or previous designs, make some brand new logos: clean, slightly edgy, but professional AF, so people see it and think 'that's a cool logo for a website.'"
ONE-PAGE + HERO BUILDS
FAST, HIGH-IMPACT PAGES"New website build. All hero above the fold. Use the new animations we've been making, but in its own unique style. Make it look super Google-y. It's a joke site, but let's put a lot into it, because I want to show off what we can do."
"Make a super cool all-hero-above-the-fold website. For now it's just a bio page for a social media creator. Make an animation using the same tech as our last hero, but relevant to this project."
"Make a one-page website, all hero above the fold, that's a '[name] Detector' tool. After an animation that looks like the machine is processing deeply, it tells everyone the result. Make it look extra legit."
"Build a one-pager and put the article on it. Make it look legit, professional, clean and simple. White background, black text, cards with round corners that react on hover. All in one file. Meta title and description, logo, icon, favicon, OG image."
FULL BUILDS + POLISH
BIGGER SITES, FINISHING PASSES"Let's build this business an AMAZING site that will rank it where it deserves. One thing we have going for us is the domain: registered in 2000."
"Let's plan the animations for each of the tool pages. Go all out and make them as impressive as possible. One at a time. Start with the homepage."
"Make 4 examples of homepage heroes, the same way you've been making them, with notes where the animations would go."
"See what the top sites look like, then make yours better."
WHY THESE WORK
- WHO
- Each prompt names the audience, not just what goes on the page.
- BAR
- Set a quality bar, not a spec list. "Best in the city" or "Super Intelligence AF" tells Claude how good it has to be.
- REUSE
- Point to past work. "Same tech, but its own style" carries a win forward without copying it.
- ROUNDS
- Ask for 4, then react hard. Keep A and C, kill B and D, go again.
- AVOID
- Say what you don't want: AI-template looks, low-quality samples, anything corny.
