How do you build a first website prototype with AI?

SHORT ANSWER

Describe one visitor, one page and one action. Build the smallest flow someone can click through, and check it on a phone before adding more features.

Write three conditions for the page to be ready

A course prototype may need to explain what is included, view the course certificate and let visitors continue to a demo checkout. Write those conditions before asking for code. Specify which text and images you already have and which parts are demonstrations.

Give AI one defined build step

Ask for the first page with your existing colours, working links and a mobile layout. Test it before asking for the next view. When something breaks, describe what you clicked, what you expected and what happened. Keep a working version to compare with later changes.

Try a failed attempt

Use a keyboard to reach the buttons, open the page on a narrow screen and enter invalid form data. An error should tell the visitor what to correct. A prototype form can demonstrate what happens without collecting real information.
