How to write prompts that work
The first generation is a starting point. A clear opening request gets you closer to your vision on the first try.
The 4-part prompt formula
All four parts together"Build a landing page [goal] with a hero, a class-times grid, and a pricing table [layout] for our new 6-week beginner reformer series, including a short instructor bio and a sign-up button [content], aimed at first-timers who've never done Lagree before [audience]."
Real prompts for studios
🌐 Class & series landing pages
"Build a landing page for our new 6-week beginner yoga series. Hero with the headline and a sign-up button, a three-column 'what to expect' section, two member quotes, and a footer with the studio address and hours. Keep it calm and uncluttered."
"Create a registration page for a weekend wellness retreat. Hero image area, dates and location, what's included, a simple pricing block with an early-bird option, and a sign-up form. Warm and inviting."
📅 Schedules & booking
"Design a weekly class schedule page. A filter for class type and instructor at the top, a day-by-day grid below, and a 'book' button on each class. Mobile-first, since most members check on their phones."
"Create a 4-screen new-member onboarding flow. Each screen has an illustration area, a short headline, body text, progress dots, and a Next button. Walk a first-timer from sign-up to their first booked class."
📄 One-pagers & member docs
"Create a one-pager for our membership tiers. Columns for Drop-In, 10-Class Pack, and Unlimited, with what each includes and the price. Studio header and footer, clean and easy to scan."
"Design a corporate wellness one-pager we can send to local businesses. What we offer, how on-site classes work, sample packages, and a contact block."
🎤 Presentations
"Create a 10-slide teacher-training overview. Slides: Welcome, Philosophy, Curriculum, Schedule, Faculty, Practicum, Certification, Tuition, FAQ, How to Apply. Calm visuals, generous whitespace."
📸 Social graphics
"Create an Instagram carousel (6 slides) announcing our new sunrise flow class. Headline, a key benefit on each slide, and the class time and sign-up call to action on the last one. Export to Canva."
🔁 Iteration prompts
Get alternatives"Show me 2 to 3 alternative layouts for the hero section."
Shift the feel"Make it warmer and more editorial. Less gym, more studio."
Accessibility"Review this page for contrast and readability on a phone."
Do this
- Start simple, then add detail one layer at a time
- Call your design-system components by name
- Say "mobile-first" early, since members book on phones
- Be specific in feedback ("8px more spacing" beats "tighter")
- Ask for variations before committing to one
- Upload a real example of a look you like
Avoid this
- "This doesn't look right" with no detail
- Cramming everything into one giant first prompt
- Forgetting to name the audience and use case
- Making broad changes through inline comments (use chat)
- Vague color requests when your brand colors have names
