Write one clear outcome, such as

Ask for a simple user flow

1. visitor lands on the home page
2. visitor understands the offer
3. visitor clicks a call to action
4. visitor completes the next step

3. Use AI for content drafting

• Have AI draft the first version of page copy.
• Ask for short headlines, clear benefits, and plain language.

Good content outputs include

• hero headline
• subheadline
• feature sections

• mobile layout ideas
• Keep the design simple.
• Make one primary action easy to see on each page.

5. Build the site with the right tools

• AI can help in no-code tools, website builders, and code editors.

• no-code builders for fast launches
• CMS platforms for content-heavy sites
• code-based builds for custom features

If you want AI to help generate code, ask it for

6. Check the site before launch

• Review every page on desktop and mobile.

Confirm that

• text is accurate
• buttons work
• forms send correctly
