From a chosen design to your first reviewed version

Build a website with AI. Turn your chosen template into your own website with your brand and content.

Choose a website template, provide your business content and request focused changes. This guide helps you work from the files, review the result and plan what still needs connecting.

Sample designs · replace the fictional content with your own.

01 / Choose a route

Is a file-based website the right route?

Yes, for a business website, portfolio or product presentation whose files you want to edit with AI. If visitors need accounts, payments or a large editorial system, keep or choose the appropriate service and use the template as the website presentation.

Presentation site

Start with an HTML design and connect the visitor action you need.

Editorial or app workflow

Choose the content system or application services before treating a frontend as the whole solution.

AI ChatWorkflow example
Personalise the existing website
You

Change the company name, headline and service descriptions to the copy I supplied. Keep the layout and replace only the images I identified.

AI · example response

I will edit the existing HTML, preserve the other sections and show which files changed.

You

Make the main button open my booking page. Use the URL I supplied.

AI · example response

I will update the button link, then check it and the edited headline in the browser.

Steps to take

  1. Supply your content

    Give the AI exact text, image filenames and link destinations.

  2. Edit the template

    Ask it to edit the existing files and preserve the parts you like.

  3. Review the preview

    Read the new content and click the actual links on mobile and desktop.

Result to aim for: your business in the design you chose.
Illustrative workflow. No live AI connection.

02 / Your brief

What should I give the AI before it edits?

Your facts, your goal and your approved assets. Keep missing information out of the page until you can supply it.

Your own working plan

Write your own facts. Copy or export this local plan; nothing is sent and it does not configure an AI tool or publish a website.

AI ChatWorkflow example
HTML + design instructions
You

I have index.html and RECREATE.md. I want to personalise this website, not recreate the fictional business. Which files should you use?

AI · example response

I will edit index.html and read RECREATE.md as design context. Your new copy, images and requested changes take priority over the sample company.

You

Keep the layout, use my offer and contact details, and remove fictional testimonials.

Steps to take

  1. Existing website

    The HTML is the file to edit for personalisation.

  2. Design context

    RECREATE.md describes the original layout and behaviour.

  3. Your brief

    Provide the business facts and edits you want applied.

Result to aim for: the selected design becomes your website, using the actual source files.
Illustrative workflow. No live AI connection.

03 / Use the files

Which file should the AI work from?

For a direct edit, start with the supplied index.html. RECREATE.md describes the original design for reconstruction. Either way, provide your business brief and keep an untouched copy.

Website files + design instructions

Open the extracted folder

Use an AI environment that can inspect and edit the actual project files.

Keep resources together

Retain companion files and inspect remote image or font references.

Can one copied prompt finish the whole site?

The files already provide a page. A copied design guide can request recreation, but personalization, checks and publication may need follow-up work.

What the original instructions specify

11-forma-studio/RECREATE.md · L5

The guide describes the original fictional page. Keep its role separate from the changes you want for your own business.

Build an English single-page fictional design studio in `index.html`, with inline CSS and plain inline JavaScript at the end of its body. No framework, build step, module loader or external JavaScript dependency is needed. Supply `assets/terra.webp`, `assets/index.webp` and `assets/vesper.webp` alongside it, using the supplied image files unchanged. These files are identical copies of the corresponding fixed remote images in §9. If the local copies are not included with these instructions, obtain their exact bytes from the corresponding §9 URLs and save them at these three local paths without conversion or regeneration. The rendered page uses the remote image URLs; the local copies are not an automatic offline fallback. Runtime is **network**: images and Google Fonts need internet access. Do not call the result offline self-contained.

Route A · keep and edit the supplied source

Authored task specimen · not a provider transcript

These excerpts come from the inspected English original. The following examples are prepared source edits, not a live AI session. Sample businesses and work remain fictional.

Read index.html and RECREATE.md. Edit the supplied HTML. Replace only the studio name and the requested headline. Keep the structure, sample media and local controls. List the changed files.

Route B · recreate before personalising

RECREATE.md · experimental route still pending

The saved previews show Route A. They are not evidence of a successful reconstruction or a first-prompt result.

In a separate folder, implement the original fictional page described in RECREATE.md. Compare its structure, resources and controls with the supplied source before asking for personalisation. This reconstruction route has not been executed in this example.

04 / First change

What is a useful first request?

Tell the AI what the finished page should say about your business. Supply your name, offer, images and contact link, then ask it to put them into the selected template while preserving the layout you like.

AI editing exampleFormwell
You

Adapt Formwell for the fictional Alder brand studio. Change the name, hero headline and introduction. Keep the layout and sample project artwork.

AI · example response

The prepared preview replaces the company name, hero headline and introduction. Compare the Content and Original tabs to see those edits; the other project images remain sample content.

AI ChatWorkflow example
Review the edited page
You

Compare the edited page with my instructions. Check the headline, image paths, navigation and contact button at desktop and phone widths.

AI · example response

I will list any differences and check what the browser actually displays. A saved file alone does not confirm the visible result.

You

The headline is cut off on my phone. Fix that without changing the copy.

AI · example response

I will adjust the responsive layout and check the same phone width again. You can then approve the result.

Steps to take

  1. Compare the changes

    Check your supplied text, images and requested scope.

  2. Open the preview

    Check desktop and mobile; click navigation and contact.

  3. Describe the issue

    Tell the agent what is wrong and ask it to recheck the corrected view.

Result to aim for: a reviewed version you can continue editing or publish.
Illustrative workflow. No live AI connection.

05 / Review and correct

How do I know the right things changed?

Compare the result with your request. If something is wrong, describe the visible problem and the expected result. Review the corrected version before asking for more.

  1. 01

    Read what changed

    Check approved facts, text, image paths and unexpected edits.

  2. 02

    Open mobile and desktop

    Inspect long headings, image crops, navigation and keyboard controls.

  3. 03

    Save the accepted version

    Keep the original and reviewed outputs so a later change has a clear starting point.
