Getting Better Results

The quality of AI output for web design work depends heavily on the context you provide. Before sending any prompt, add:

The client's industry and audience. "A Melbourne accounting firm targeting small business owners" produces far more relevant output than "an accounting firm."

The tone and brand personality. Professional, approachable, bold, minimal — be specific. AI defaults to generic corporate if you don't specify.

Any constraints. Existing brand guidelines, colour restrictions, technology platform, budget, or timeline constraints all affect what's appropriate.

Australian context where relevant. Local references, Australian spelling, and awareness of the Australian market make copy feel authentic rather than generic.

Always edit AI-generated copy before presenting it to clients. It's a starting point, not a finished product — and your clients are paying for your judgement, not just the output.
