Sample prompts
A starter pack of phrases that work well when asking Claude to build, change, or fix things on your Lanlan site.
Each example is one phrasing that works — not the only one. Claude is forgiving, so treat these as starting points, not magic words.
Getting expert help
If you want a thoughtful design direction before anything is built, ask for a design consultation. A small team of industry experts will walk you through the decisions.
- "Before we start, can we do a design consult? I'm building a website for my bakery."
- "I have an existing site that feels off. Can your team take a look and tell me what's not working?"
- "Bring back my design team — I want to talk through a redesign."
Building
- "Build me a one-page site for my dog-walking business in West Oakland."
- "Add an About page, a Services page, and a Contact page."
- "Add a contact form to the home page with name, email, and message."
- "Make a gallery page with twelve image slots arranged in a three-column grid."
- "Set up a blog. I want to write about coffee."
Changing the look
- "Make the headline shorter."
- "Make the whole site feel calmer — more white space, softer fonts."
- "Make my typography more like newyorker.com."
- "Change the accent color to a deep forest green."
- "Move the contact form from the home page to its own page."
- "The booking form is cramped on phones — fix it."
Adding content
- "Replace the About page text with this: [paste your text]."
- "Read this Google Doc and turn it into a blog post: [URL]." (requires the Google Drive connector — Claude will tell you if you don't have it)

Fixing or undoing
