Use AI refinements without losing control

Overview

AI refinement is best for broad changes to structure, tone, visual direction, and section emphasis. You will get more predictable results if you change one layer at a time.

Strong refinement prompts

Key points

• Change the hero to target startup founders hiring a product engineer.
• Keep the layout, but make the copy more concise and less promotional.
• Add a services section for fractional design engineering work.
• Make the visual style calmer with more whitespace and fewer bright accents.
• Rewrite project cards so each one includes problem, role, stack, and result.

Safe refinement workflow

Steps

• Start from the best current draft.
• Make one focused refinement request.
• Review desktop and mobile preview.
• Restore the previous version if the direction is worse.
• Use manual editing for final small text fixes.

Avoid contradictory prompts

A request like "make it minimal, bold, playful, corporate, and highly detailed" gives the AI too many competing directions. Choose the most important direction first.
