Before you start
A chat assistant, a fictional business brief and three examples of layouts you want to analyze.
Why this lesson exists
The one-person-agency posts show that faster implementation makes judgment more important. Begin with the visitor’s questions before asking for a visual style.
Do the exercise
Define the visitor and action
Write who the visitor is, what they need to know and what action should follow. “Book a consultation” is specific; “be impressed” is not a navigation plan.
Inventory evidence
List verified services, contact details and images you have permission to use. Mark missing information. Do not fill empty sections with invented testimonials or metrics.
Make a content-first outline
Ask for the page sections in the order the visitor needs them. Write button labels that explain the destination. Sketch the mobile reading order before adding decoration.
Run a five-second test
Show the outline or preview to someone. Ask what the site offers, who it serves and what they would click next. Revise the confusing part before polishing animation.
A prompt to adapt
Replace the bracketed parts with your own practice details.
Plan a one-page website for [audience] to [action]. Verified facts: [facts]. Available assets: [assets]. Missing facts: [unknowns]. Produce the content order, plain navigation labels and mobile layout. Explain how each section answers a visitor question. Never invent testimonials or business claims.
What this looks like
A service page should let someone find service area, scope and contact quickly. A cinematic intro that hides the phone number can look polished while failing the task.
Check your result
Use evidence from your output. A confident explanation from the AI is not enough.
- A visitor can explain the offer.
- Each main button has a clear destination.
- Every factual claim is supported.
If it isn’t working
If the output is a collection of generic cards, ask what question each card answers. Remove sections that do not help the visitor decide.
