Writing better prompts

The single biggest thing you can do to improve your results in Wemob is to get better at describing what you want. This isn't about using magic words or secret tricks. It's about telling Wemob enough that it can make the right choices — and not so much that you're just writing a spec.

Think like a designer, not a developer#

When you describe what you want, describe the feeling first, the structuresecond, and the technical details last (or not at all). You're not writing a bug ticket. You're briefing a collaborator.

Good words to reach for: warm, quiet, playful, editorial, minimal, dramatic, elegant, handmade, cozy, spacious.

Say how it should feel#

Two identical structures can feel completely different depending on the vocabulary you use. Tell Wemob which way you want to tilt.

• “A warm, editorial café landing page.” ← Warm matters.
• “A playful wedding invite with a lot of color.” ← Playful matters.
• “A minimal portfolio for a serious black-and-white photographer.” ← Minimal matters.

Give structure#

Once you've set the feeling, list the sections or pages you want. Wemob will organize the work around that list.

• “Hero, menu section, about, reservation form, visit page with the address.”
• “A home page, a projects gallery, an about page, and a contact form.”
• “Three pages: home, menu, reserve. Mobile-first.”

You don't have to be exhaustive. If you miss something, you can ask for it on the next turn.

Show, don't tell#

Sometimes words don't quite capture what you want. Wemob accepts screenshots — click the paperclip in the chat box and drag in an image. You can do this with:

• A reference site you like the feel of
• A mood board or a photo collage
• A hand-drawn sketch of a layout on a napkin
• A screenshot of a magazine spread or a book cover

The image becomes part of the conversation. Wemob will extract what it can — palette, typography, layout rhythm — and try to match it.

One change at a time#

When you're refining an existing project, it's tempting to batch five things into a single message: “make the hero bigger, change the colors, add a footer, remove the third section, and put a form on the about page.”

Wemob will try, but results are much sharper when you make changes one at a time. You can also see the effect of each change clearly and undo any you don't like individually.

Before and after#

Here are three common “before” prompts rewritten as “after” versions.

You'll get a feel for this quickly. Within ten prompts, it stops feeling strange and starts feeling like talking to a competent collaborator.
