Use templates, vibes, and style directions

Overview

BaseStack uses AI style directions instead of locking every site into a fixed template. The vibe you choose acts like a template brief: it influences layout, tone, spacing, typography, and the order of sections.

How to pick a vibe

Key points

• Clean and minimal works well for recruiters, operators, founders, and technical audiences.
• Editorial works well for writers, strategists, designers, and people with a strong point of view.
• Bold or playful works well when personality and memorability matter.
• Polished and professional works well for consulting, executive profiles, and client trust.

How to ask for a template-like result

Key points

• Use a clear goal: "make this a recruiter-friendly software engineering portfolio."
• Name section priorities: hero, selected work, experience, skills, contact.
• Describe the visual system: calm, spacious, high contrast, portfolio cards, strong typography.
• Use refinement if the first draft has the right content but the wrong feel.

Template requests work best when specific

Instead of asking for "a cool template," say who the site is for and which portfolio sections matter most.
