  1. 0:00I'm going to teach you how to defeat the
  2. 0:01monster known as AI slop in three simple
  3. 0:04steps. Now, AI slop has taken a number
  4. 0:06of forms over the years, and it wasn't
  5. 0:08too long ago that it looked something
  6. 0:10like this. A generic SaaS template with
  7. 0:13Inter font everywhere and blue purple
  8. 0:15gradients. But now, AI slop looks
  9. 0:18something like this. This is definitely
  10. 0:19better, but it still screams AI. It has
  11. 0:22a specific color palette, a specific
  12. 0:24font, just a general style that right
  13. 0:26away you can tell this was generated in
  14. 0:28just a prompt or two. But today, I'm
  15. 0:30going to show you how to break out of
  16. 0:31this mold. I'm going to teach you how to
  17. 0:33cultivate and inject your own taste into
  18. 0:35the web design process. I'm going to
  19. 0:36show you what sort of skills and MCPs
  20. 0:39you need to begin using to help you in
  21. 0:41that endeavor. And lastly, I'm going to
  22. 0:43show you the exact sort of build
  23. 0:45sequence you need to begin applying to
  24. 0:47this. What are the prompts we should be
  25. 0:48using? How should we be prototyping?
  26. 0:50What does it mean to iterate and tweak
  27. 0:51our web design until we get something we
  28. 0:53actually like? And by the end, you're
  29. 0:55going to have a flexible roadmap that
  30. 0:56you can apply to all of your AI design
  31. 0:58work. So, let's get started. AI has no
  32. 1:01taste. Now, this is a phrase you've
  33. 1:02definitely heard of before, but it's an
  34. 1:03important one, and it's what step one is
  35. 1:04all about because step one is figuring
  36. 1:06out how do we cultivate taste? How do we
  37. 1:08curate it? How do we bring that into the
  38. 1:11web design process? Because the problem
  39. 1:13with this website and this website isn't
  40. 1:14a technical one, it's simply generic.
  41. 1:17And no matter how good the models get,
  42. 1:18they could get 10 times better tomorrow,
  43. 1:20it'll just change what we consider to be
  44. 1:22generic. But instead, if we are able to
  45. 1:24inject our taste into the design
  46. 1:27process, we are going to be able to
  47. 1:28create something that is unique because
  48. 1:29it's specific to you, and it's very
  49. 1:31subjective, but also something that is,
  50. 1:33quote unquote, good. So, for step one,
  51. 1:35what we are going to do is we are going
  52. 1:37to curate a library of design
  53. 1:40inspiration. This is also going to help
  54. 1:42us cultivate our own taste. We're going
  55. 1:43to expose ourselves to a lot of, you
  56. 1:46know, high-level web design or whatever
  57. 1:47you want to call it. And once we have
  58. 1:49this library of stuff we like, you know,
  59. 1:51this is a reflection of our taste, we
  60. 1:53can then bring that to AI and use that
  61. 1:55as the foundation for what we are going
  62. 1:57to build moving forward instead of
  63. 1:59relying on nothing and instead just
  64. 2:01getting an average regression to the
  65. 2:03mean output. So, where should you go to
  66. 2:05find inspiration? Well, there's a number
  67. 2:07of websites that I think do a really
  68. 2:08good job. What I'm on right now is
  69. 2:10Dribbble. That's Dribbble with three
  70. 2:11B's. I just typed in web design, put in
  71. 2:13popular, and I can see a bunch of
  72. 2:15different landing pages. Another good
  73. 2:17one is Pinterest. Again, all as I did
  74. 2:18was throw in web design and what do I
  75. 2:20see? I see a bunch of hero pages that
  76. 2:22are much different than what Claude is
  77. 2:24going to generate me when I say build me
  78. 2:26a landing page. And lastly, we got
  79. 2:27Twitter which I think is my favorite of
  80. 2:29the bunch because there are a ton of
  81. 2:30awesome creators in this space that are
  82. 2:33doing really cool design work and UI
  83. 2:35stuff that you just aren't going to see
  84. 2:37anywhere else. And so, your first job is
  85. 2:38simply to go to these websites, start
  86. 2:40looking for things you like, and just
  87. 2:42start screenshotting them, saving them.
  88. 2:43You can even save links if you have the
  89. 2:45actual websites themselves. Now, once
  90. 2:47you do that, you can just leave all
  91. 2:48those screenshots in a screenshot folder
  92. 2:50or you can do what I did and have Claude
  93. 2:51code create a simple web app that's
  94. 2:53essentially your inspiration library.
  95. 2:56It's going to put everything in one
  96. 2:57place, but more importantly, it's going
  97. 2:59to group them based on design type and
  98. 3:01you can have it explain what the design
  99. 3:04even is, what it means, what is the
  100. 3:05actual vocabulary associated with this
  101. 3:09design. And when I click on one of these
  102. 3:10screenshots, it gives me some keywords
  103. 3:12associated with this design. So, this is
  104. 3:13something like a Vauxhall rendered
  105. 3:15landscape. And then down here, I can
  106. 3:17both copy the image prompt. So, if I
  107. 3:19wanted to create an image for my hero
  108. 3:21section in the background like this one,
  109. 3:22this sort of gives me the foundation for
  110. 3:24that. And then I also have this button
  111. 3:25that says copy brief and that's
  112. 3:26something I would use to actually create
  113. 3:28the website in its entirety. And we'll
  114. 3:31go into prompting and all of that in
  115. 3:33step three. But big picture, step one is
  116. 3:36cultivating our taste. It's creating
  117. 3:38this library of inspiration so you don't
  118. 3:40just have to sit there and come up with
  119. 3:42something from scratch. Just come up
  120. 3:43with something, you know, that's been
  121. 3:45sitting in your brain because when we're
  122. 3:46just getting started, we're really not
  123. 3:48good enough for that yet. We need to
  124. 3:49find stuff that's actually working that
  125. 3:51we like and use that as our base. Now,
  126. 3:55step two is all about the external tools
  127. 3:57we are going to give Claude code so that
  128. 3:59when we move on to step three, which is
  129. 4:01actually creating the website, it gives
  130. 4:03us better outputs right away. And the
  131. 4:05first one I want to talk about is
  132. 4:06impeccable, which I think is the best
  133. 4:09front-end design skill in the game right
  134. 4:10now. Now, impeccable is an open-source
  135. 4:12tool. It's got almost 50,000 stars on
  136. 4:14GitHub. And speaking of GitHub, they now
  137. 4:16turned it into like an official part of
  138. 4:19GitHub's AI tool. And it's one skill,
  139. 4:22but it includes 23 different commands
  140. 4:25that will essentially improve your web
  141. 4:27design or your website's components in a
  142. 4:29number of different ways. So, it's able
  143. 4:31to, you know, critique any issues. It's
  144. 4:34able to add additional polish, make it
  145. 4:35bolder, make it quieter, etc., etc.
  146. 4:37There's 23 different things. Now, it's
  147. 4:38kind of impossible to understand what
  148. 4:39those 23 things do without seeing them
  149. 4:42in action. But if you go into the actual
  150. 4:43impeccable website, which is
  151. 4:45impeccable.style, we can see all those
  152. 4:4723 different commands over here on the
  153. 4:49left. So, if I look at bolder, for
  154. 4:51example, it explains what it does. It
  155. 4:53pushes safe designs towards impact
  156. 4:55without sliding into chaos. And over
  157. 4:57here on the left, this would just be
  158. 4:59like a standard Claude code output. And
  159. 5:01if I do impeccable bolder,
  160. 5:03well, I get something like this. Or if I
  161. 5:04do something like overdrive, hey,
  162. 5:07here's, you know, standard Claude code,
  163. 5:09and then here's impeccable. Or clarify,
  164. 5:13here's the standard warnings you get,
  165. 5:15and here's something that is a bit more
  166. 5:18condensed and easy to understand. And
  167. 5:20really what impeccable is doing is it's
  168. 5:21identifying and getting rid of slop. And
  169. 5:23it does that across really seven
  170. 5:25different places: typography, color,
  171. 5:28spatial design, responsiveness,
  172. 5:29interaction, motion, and actual UX
  173. 5:31writing. They have an entire section of
  174. 5:33their website dedicated to slop, and it
  175. 5:35breaks it down as 46 different patterns.
  176. 5:38And you can actually run the impeccable
  177. 5:40CLI, and it will look through everything
  178. 5:41to see, okay, like, is this, quote
  179. 5:44unquote, AI slop? And it'll actually
  180. 5:45show it to you
  181. 5:47on a dev server. Speaking of a dev
  182. 5:48server, they also have a live mode, so
  183. 5:50you can actually bring up your website
  184. 5:52and you can actually click through it
  185. 5:54component by component and make
  186. 5:55adjustments right there live. So, it's
  187. 5:58almost like Claude design in a in one
  188. 6:00sense, but it definitely gives you a
  189. 6:02visual aspect that you can't get if
  190. 6:04you're using exclusively the terminal.
  191. 6:06Now, to install this is super easy. It
  192. 6:07includes a CLI and they give you three
  193. 6:10different options for installing this
  194. 6:11thing and if you get confused, just go
  195. 6:12ahead, copy the URL and drop that in the
  196. 6:15Claude code and it will install it for
  197. 6:16you. Now, if you don't really like
  198. 6:17Impeccable, another one I would suggest
  199. 6:19is the Taste Skill. They just released
  200. 6:21their version two, although it's
  201. 6:23experimental. Again, we can find this on
  202. 6:25GitHub. It's just under 66,000 stars and
  203. 6:28sort of works in the same manner. You
  204. 6:30know, it's going to look for those AI
  205. 6:32sort of like Slop Tails and instead it's
  206. 6:35going to give you a stronger layout.
  207. 6:36It's going to work on the typography,
  208. 6:37motion, and spacing. And in the end,
  209. 6:40it's meant to give you something unique
  210. 6:41instead of a boilerplate looking UI. So,
  211. 6:43I think these two, the Taste Skill and
  212. 6:44Impeccable, are the best in the game
  213. 6:46right now. Definitely a step above the
  214. 6:48standard Anthropic front-end design and
  215. 6:50definitely a step above some of the more
  216. 6:52popular repos like UIUX Pro Max. Now,
  217. 6:55when we talk about MCPs, the one I use
  218. 6:56the most is the Higgs Field MCP and this
  219. 6:58is because it's going to give Claude
  220. 7:00code capabilities it simply does not
  221. 7:01have out of the box. Primarily, image
  222. 7:04creation and video creation. So, the
  223. 7:06Higgs Field MCP is going to give you
  224. 7:08access to
  225. 7:09virtually every single AI image and
  226. 7:11video generator out there. So, I usually
  227. 7:13use GPT images two for images and then
  228. 7:16for video, that's usually bouncing
  229. 7:18around every few weeks, but right now
  230. 7:20SeaDance tends to be the best. So, you
  231. 7:22can also install this as a CLI to
  232. 7:25actually get here. All you have to do is
  233. 7:26go to the Higgs Field website,
  234. 7:28higgsfield.ai, go to MCP and CLI, just
  235. 7:31copy this, paste it into Claude code,
  236. 7:33and then it will run you through the
  237. 7:34authentication process. It also has some
  238. 7:37skills you can add here as well. And
  239. 7:39once this is installed, if we're trying
  240. 7:41to create a website, we're especially if
  241. 7:43we want to add some sort of like hero
  242. 7:44imagery, right, in the background, it
  243. 7:46just calls on the MCP and it will
  244. 7:48generate it for you. Furthermore, if we
  245. 7:49want to generate custom assets, this can
  246. 7:52allow us to do it as well. And one last
  247. 7:53thing I wanted to talk about isn't
  248. 7:54really a skill or even an MCP, but that
  249. 7:56is 21st.dev,
  250. 7:59and this is kind of something you could
  251. 8:00probably even throw in step one in terms
  252. 8:02of the taste thing, but this is all
  253. 8:04about components. So, let's say I was
  254. 8:07looking for specific buttons. So, if I
  255. 8:10come over here on the left and I click
  256. 8:12buttons,
  257. 8:14I'm going to see a bunch of different
  258. 8:16buttons. And if I click on any of these
  259. 8:18buttons, I then have the ability to copy
  260. 8:21the prompt. So, down here it says copy
  261. 8:23prompt. If I copy that and I paste that
  262. 8:24into Cloud Code, it will give me a
  263. 8:25button that looks like this. And there
  264. 8:28isn't just buttons, there's
  265. 8:30cards, there's, you know, pricing
  266. 8:33sections. So, similar to, you know, in
  267. 8:35step one, where we're really looking for
  268. 8:36sort of like big picture in terms of
  269. 8:38design and aesthetics, this is a great
  270. 8:40place to go to get inspiration for
  271. 8:42specific components. So, we're just
  272. 8:44getting more detailed and like a little
  273. 8:46lower level on this sort of stuff. But,
  274. 8:48even here, it will have things, again,
  275. 8:50it will do um borders, backgrounds,
  276. 8:55calls to action. So, again, this is just
  277. 8:57all in the same vein of like exposing
  278. 8:59ourselves to things we otherwise
  279. 9:00wouldn't even think about. Like, how
  280. 9:01much How often are you looking at like
  281. 9:03pagination
  282. 9:04and the different options we have for
  283. 9:05that. Now, the last thing I'll say at
  284. 9:07this step is beware going down the
  285. 9:09rabbit hole in terms of tools and
  286. 9:11skills, because
  287. 9:12it's very easy to fall into the trap of,
  288. 9:15well, I'm just one skill away from like
  289. 9:17all my design problems being solved.
  290. 9:19You'll probably see some really cool
  291. 9:20skills out there that build really cool
  292. 9:22websites. The issue is those tend to be
  293. 9:24very narrow in scope. They're extremely
  294. 9:26prescriptive and often times those
  295. 9:28skills will only give you one kind of
  296. 9:30output. The reason why I suggest the
  297. 9:31taste skill and I suggest impeccable and
  298. 9:33Hex Fields because they're very flexible
  299. 9:35and we can go a number of directions
  300. 9:37with them.
  301. 9:38However, because they are not
  302. 9:41prescriptive, they're not always going
  303. 9:43to give you a quote-unquote great output
  304. 9:45because that great output is going to
  305. 9:46depend on your prompting and again, how
  306. 9:48we inject taste. And now in step three
  307. 9:50is where we kind of put it all together.
  308. 9:52I'm going to show you how you should
  309. 9:53prompt and more importantly, how you
  310. 9:55should iterate until you get an output
  311. 9:57you like. So now we're in the step
  312. 9:58three, which is the actual build phase
  313. 10:00and what I want you to get away from is
  314. 10:01the idea that we need to one-shot these
  315. 10:03things. What we instead need to do and
  316. 10:05what I suggest is cast a very wide net
  317. 10:08off the bat. What you see here is I had
  318. 10:10it create a website for this fake AI
  319. 10:12company called Argus and I had it create
  320. 10:14five different versions in five
  321. 10:17different styles. And also what you see
  322. 10:19over here is on one hand on the
  323. 10:21left-hand side I had it use impeccable
  324. 10:23and on the right I had it use the taste
  325. 10:24scale. And the idea is when we first
  326. 10:27start prompting this guy, we want to see
  327. 10:29a bunch of different styles of the
  328. 10:30website we're trying to create.
  329. 10:32I like to do five. Once we see all five,
  330. 10:35we probably have a decent idea of like,
  331. 10:36okay, this is the direction I want to
  332. 10:38go.
  333. 10:39Once we choose that one, like let's say
  334. 10:40I did PrintTech, then we want to do some
  335. 10:43iterations on that. I have it do like
  336. 10:45three versions of that style and then
  337. 10:47from those three versions I pick one and
  338. 10:48then we tinker.
  339. 10:50The idea is I want to see all my options
  340. 10:53on one screen at one time. It's kind of
  341. 10:55tough, I think, to know what direction
  342. 10:58you even want to go on or go through
  343. 11:00when you're just sitting inside a
  344. 11:01terminal and you just try one thing and
  345. 11:02then you try another. Like, why don't we
  346. 11:04just try a bunch of stuff at once and
  347. 11:06compare and contrast? That's sort of my
  348. 11:09idea. And once we get a little more, you
  349. 11:11know, sort of fidelity in terms of what
  350. 11:13style we want to go into, then we bring
  351. 11:14in things like the Higgs field MCP and
  352. 11:16start generating assets, generating hero
  353. 11:18images, and doing all that cool stuff.
  354. 11:20Now, in regards to prompting, this is
  355. 11:23kind of how I like to go about it. I
  356. 11:26really have four different things I am
  357. 11:29going to pass to AI when I prompt. it.
  358. 11:31again, it's not prescriptive, it's not
  359. 11:33overly specific, it's not some
  360. 11:3510,000-page design.md prompt you need to
  361. 11:38copy. Cuz remember, when people give you
  362. 11:39that, it's going to be kind of the same
  363. 11:41thing every time. It's very narrow. And
  364. 11:43what I think you want to pass is first
  365. 11:45the aesthetic, right? What is the
  366. 11:47general like family of design we want
  367. 11:50this website to sort of follow?
  368. 11:52Secondly, we want to give it some sort
  369. 11:53of reference image. This is where our
  370. 11:56sort of curated like taste library comes
  371. 11:59into play. This probably some sort of
  372. 12:00website or multiple websites you want to
  373. 12:02drop here in terms of the reference. And
  374. 12:03what we're trying to do is we're trying
  375. 12:04to match the feel. We aren't necessarily
  376. 12:06trying to match it, you know,
  377. 12:08content-wise or design-wise, cuz we're
  378. 12:11not trying to like copy them. Again,
  379. 12:12we're going for a feeling, an aesthetic.
  380. 12:14Number three is the intent. What are we
  381. 12:16building and why? Like, is this a SaaS
  382. 12:19product? Is this something for an event?
  383. 12:21Who is the target audience? What are we
  384. 12:23trying to have them do? Do we want them
  385. 12:24to just like read everything and that's
  386. 12:26it? Do we want them to click through
  387. 12:28something, fill out some sort of form?
  388. 12:29These things are important and they're
  389. 12:31going to dictate what the rest of the
  390. 12:32website looks like. And then lastly,
  391. 12:33what are some sort of guardrails? What
  392. 12:35are things we always wanted to do and
  393. 12:37what are some things we never
  394. 12:38want it to do. This can become useful in
  395. 12:40terms of like AI slop stuff. Like, I
  396. 12:41never want purple gradients. I never
  397. 12:44want Inter font and things of that
  398. 12:45nature.
  399. 12:47Also, in terms of references, don't be
  400. 12:49afraid to drop actual website URLs. If
  401. 12:51there's a website you like and you kind
  402. 12:53of want it to match again sort of the
  403. 12:54feel and style, drop that as well. It
  404. 12:56doesn't just have to be screenshots. But
  405. 12:59this, I think, is sort of a great place
  406. 13:01to start. And again, we're not trying to
  407. 13:04one-shot, we just want to get something
  408. 13:05moving in the right direction. Now, when
  409. 13:07we prompt this, like I said, I want a
  410. 13:08bunch of different, you know, design
  411. 13:11styles. And this kind of comes back to
  412. 13:13my taste library, cuz if you built this,
  413. 13:15like I suggested you do, it's already
  414. 13:17kind of broken it out into different
  415. 13:18libraries, right? I have print tech
  416. 13:20paper style, I have dither mono, kind of
  417. 13:23this like vast quiet cinematic style.
  418. 13:26And so for me, I can just tell Claude
  419. 13:29Code, "Hey, take a look at my library
  420. 13:31and pick out, you know, five different
  421. 13:33aesthetic families and create websites
  422. 13:36like that." Or, if you haven't built
  423. 13:38something like that, you need to
  424. 13:39actually
  425. 13:40tell it specifically, like, "Hey, I want
  426. 13:42five different variations in five
  427. 13:43different styles." That works, too.
  428. 13:45So, what we're going to do is we're
  429. 13:47going to use this prompt and start
  430. 13:48walking through it ourselves. So, here's
  431. 13:51the prompt I gave it. I said, "Build a
  432. 13:52landing page for Kestrel, an AI
  433. 13:53analytics platform for small startups."
  434. 13:55I give it the intent and what we're
  435. 13:57trying to actually do, right? We want
  436. 13:59them to actually book a demo. We have
  437. 14:01some guardrails. I'm saying for pretty
  438. 14:02much all the hero pages, we're going to
  439. 14:04have like a monumental image, and I want
  440. 14:06it to never do the AI slop stuff, things
  441. 14:08like purple gradients, 3D SAS blobs,
  442. 14:10that kind of thing.
  443. 14:11I say I want it to create five versions
  444. 14:13of the page, and then for each version,
  445. 14:15I break down the direction. So, I
  446. 14:16specify the aesthetic. I give it a
  447. 14:18reference image. Again, that's coming
  448. 14:20from my taste library.
  449. 14:22Remember this thing? And then I mention
  450. 14:24what the future here will probably look
  451. 14:25like, and I do that for all five
  452. 14:27versions. So, let's see what it comes up
  453. 14:29with. So, here are the five it created.
  454. 14:31Here's sort of the print tech paper
  455. 14:33version.
  456. 14:35Got the data as texture. Remember, all
  457. 14:37these graphics were all just generated
  458. 14:39by Claude Code. I haven't used anything
  459. 14:41like the HTML and CSS to actually create
  460. 14:43the graphics.
  461. 14:45We have sort of the vast quiet one. This
  462. 14:48is supposed to be like a stand-in for
  463. 14:49some sort of like mountain range we
  464. 14:50would create.
  465. 14:52We have dither mono.
  466. 14:55And then we have classical remix. So,
  467. 15:00again, remember, we're just kind of
  468. 15:01looking like big picture of what sort of
  469. 15:03style do I like?
  470. 15:05Mhm.
  471. 15:07Kind of
  472. 15:09Dither mono looks kind of cool. I kind
  473. 15:12of think the vast quiet looks kind of
  474. 15:14sick. It's definitely different, very
  475. 15:17minimalist, but I kind of like what it's
  476. 15:18doing. And I think this might look
  477. 15:20really cool if we can nail the actual
  478. 15:22image behind it. So, I'm going to go
  479. 15:25with sort of this vast quiet direction.
  480. 15:27And now what I'm going to do is I'm
  481. 15:28going to ask it to essentially create
  482. 15:31three different versions of this.
  483. 15:32Specifically, when we look at the body,
  484. 15:34I want to just kind of like see what's
  485. 15:35possible out there. So, I said, "Let's
  486. 15:37go with the vast quiet version. Generate
  487. 15:39three versions of that aesthetic for me,
  488. 15:40namely changing the body formats, etc."
  489. 15:43And you can get specific about what you
  490. 15:44want to see different with it. And so,
  491. 15:46just like we did here, it's going to be
  492. 15:47three versions of this. Then we'll nail
  493. 15:49down the one we like, and then we can
  494. 15:51get a little more specific when it comes
  495. 15:54to changing components, doing tweaks to
  496. 15:56fonts and colors, and then actually
  497. 15:57generating the assets. So, it's come up
  498. 15:59with a few more variants. Here's the
  499. 16:01original, right? Very minimal, very
  500. 16:03vertical.
  501. 16:05Here is the second one, which also kind
  502. 16:07of has that calm approach, but it looks
  503. 16:08like it's
  504. 16:10kind of added a little bit more to the
  505. 16:11body.
  506. 16:13Here's one where it's more of a ledger.
  507. 16:14It's kind of shifted a few things over
  508. 16:16to the left, and now we have this index
  509. 16:18that scrolls along with us, which I
  510. 16:20actually kind of like.
  511. 16:22Then we have this one, which it called
  512. 16:23frames.
  513. 16:25Okay, so everything's kind of like you
  514. 16:27see kind of how has these edges
  515. 16:29on the side that frames each section. To
  516. 16:31be honest, I kind of like the ledger.
  517. 16:33Um I kind of like how when you scroll
  518. 16:34down um this follows you on the
  519. 16:37left-hand side. Um maybe we add
  520. 16:39something to the right a little bit, not
  521. 16:40totally sure, but I like this. It's kind
  522. 16:42of like a neat minimal approach, yet
  523. 16:44looks a little bit different. And so,
  524. 16:46what I'm going to tell it now is, "Hey,
  525. 16:47we're going to go with version 3B, which
  526. 16:49is the quiet ledger version. And what I
  527. 16:52want to do now is I want to nail the
  528. 16:54hero image first. I think if I nail this
  529. 16:56background, then I'll begin playing
  530. 16:58around, you know, with like fonts and
  531. 16:59where things are kind of sitting. So,
  532. 17:01the prompt I'm going to give it is,
  533. 17:03"Let's go with the V3B,
  534. 17:06which is the ledger version. And what I
  535. 17:08want to do now is nail that hero image."
  536. 17:10So, you have the, you know, examples of
  537. 17:13the hero images
  538. 17:15that are part of the quiet aesthetic
  539. 17:17that's on our
  540. 17:18inspiration library. I think there's
  541. 17:20like three or four of them. So, can you
  542. 17:22create like give me like four different
  543. 17:25images that fit this that would also fit
  544. 17:27our hero image
  545. 17:28specifically, right the whole like
  546. 17:30composition of it. So,
  547. 17:32use the Higgs field MCP for that. Make
  548. 17:33them high quality. Make them 2K and
  549. 17:35create four different designs and then
  550. 17:37pull them up once you do that. So,
  551. 17:39Claude code called the Higgs field MCP,
  552. 17:40created some images, threw it into the
  553. 17:42hero section, and now it's displaying
  554. 17:44those different ones. So, this is the
  555. 17:45first version which is the aerial. We
  556. 17:48have the Crag. Then we have almost this
  557. 17:50like watercolor type painting which I
  558. 17:52think is cool. And then it did the cloud
  559. 17:54sea. Now, I kind of like
  560. 17:57Honestly, not a huge fan of two cuz I
  561. 17:59feel like it overlaps some of the text,
  562. 18:01but I
  563. 18:02do like
  564. 18:04I like number one and four. I think
  565. 18:10I think one looks pretty cool, but maybe
  566. 18:12if we could add, I don't know, like a
  567. 18:14splash of color somewhere just cuz it's
  568. 18:16very black and white and maybe just like
  569. 18:18some semblance of color would look good.
  570. 18:19So, that's what I'm going to tell it.
  571. 18:20Can we go with option four that you
  572. 18:22created and can you create multiple
  573. 18:25versions of that and show me just like
  574. 18:26you did before, but can we add maybe a
  575. 18:28little color
  576. 18:29to it? Right now, it's very black and
  577. 18:31white. I'm not sure if just a splash of
  578. 18:32color somewhere would look good. So, it
  579. 18:34created some variations. So, here's the
  580. 18:36original. Here added a little color
  581. 18:39called a dawn touch, golden hour,
  582. 18:42alpenglow, and then the duo tone which
  583. 18:45is way too much.
  584. 18:48And of all these, I think I like the
  585. 18:50alpenglow. So, we're going to go with
  586. 18:51that. Let's go with the alpenglow
  587. 18:53version and then go ahead and bring up
  588. 18:55our webpage with that as the hero. When
  589. 18:58you do that, make sure you take a look
  590. 19:00at the transitions between the hero and
  591. 19:02the body. It shouldn't just be like a
  592. 19:05super sudden change. So, do what you
  593. 19:07need to make that look sort of premium.
  594. 19:08And then in terms of like page loading,
  595. 19:11um want everything to feel kind of like
  596. 19:14heavy, um and give some weight to it.
  597. 19:17So, here's what we got. All this stuff
  598. 19:19kind of loads in one by one, which I
  599. 19:20like.
  600. 19:22As we scroll down, it's not like a hard
  601. 19:24transition, so it kind of just,
  602. 19:26you know, slowly fades out.
  603. 19:29And then,
  604. 19:30yeah, I like I kind of like I really
  605. 19:32like this index, honestly. I think it
  606. 19:33looks really cool.
  607. 19:35And at the bottom, we have book a demo.
  608. 19:37Now, overall,
  609. 19:38very minimal, but it kind of fits the
  610. 19:40vibe. And at this point, I'd kind of
  611. 19:42just want to start tweaking different
  612. 19:44things and maybe see if we can add just
  613. 19:46a little bit more,
  614. 19:48I don't know, punch to it, so it isn't
  615. 19:50overly minimal, but honestly, I I I kind
  616. 19:52of think it fits. And so, I think the
  617. 19:53easiest way to do that, instead of just
  618. 19:55sort of guessing and being like, "Uh,
  619. 19:56make it look more premium. I want to add
  620. 19:58stuff." is to add have it added tweaks
  621. 20:00bar. And this is something you see
  622. 20:01inside of Claude design.
  623. 20:03And so, that prompt will look something
  624. 20:04like this.
  625. 20:05Can we sort of mimic what happens inside
  626. 20:07of Claude design and add like a tweak
  627. 20:09bar that pops up on this dev server, so
  628. 20:12I can change a number of things, whether
  629. 20:14that's font size, font type, accent
  630. 20:16colors. Basically, any place where you
  631. 20:18think there's a decision to be made in
  632. 20:20terms of the overall aesthetic and
  633. 20:22design, especially when looking at the
  634. 20:24body, cuz I do like the hero. Um I want
  635. 20:26an ability to tweak that on the tweaks
  636. 20:28page, so go pretty aggressive with what
  637. 20:29you offer me. And while it builds that,
  638. 20:31the other thing I want to talk about is
  639. 20:34sort of references. So, a lot of this
  640. 20:36today has been, you know, when we've
  641. 20:38talked about inspiration and building
  642. 20:39references, has been in regards to the
  643. 20:42hero section, right? The first thing you
  644. 20:43see. But, that also applies to the body.
  645. 20:45So, just like we've given it
  646. 20:47screenshots, you can do the same for the
  647. 20:48body. And in fact, you can give it
  648. 20:50actual URLs of websites you like and be
  649. 20:52like, "Hey, like take a look at the
  650. 20:54actual like formatting of that website,
  651. 20:55cuz Claude can see it, and I want it
  652. 20:57applied to my page." And just like we've
  653. 21:00created this library of inspiration, you
  654. 21:02can do the same for stuff that isn't the
  655. 21:04hero. Again, it can just be how a, you
  656. 21:06know, the body of a website is laid out.
  657. 21:08Okay, so now you can see over here on
  658. 21:10the bottom right. I'll shift over here.
  659. 21:12We have this tweaks button. So, when I
  660. 21:14pull up the tweaks, again, similar to
  661. 21:16Claude design, I can start changing a
  662. 21:18bunch of stuff. So, I can change the
  663. 21:21heading font. And like I this is just
  664. 21:24all
  665. 21:25built on the idea that like I need to
  666. 21:27see the differences. I don't know what
  667. 21:29font's going to look good. I don't want
  668. 21:30to sit here and ask Claude code to then
  669. 21:32create 10 different versions of the
  670. 21:34webpage with different fonts. Like, just
  671. 21:35give me some sort of like thing like
  672. 21:37this, right? I think being able to like
  673. 21:38iterate visually very quickly is what
  674. 21:41allows us to eventually get something we
  675. 21:42like. So, we can don't like the italics.
  676. 21:45Change the size, all this good stuff.
  677. 21:48And like I said, I totally get pretty
  678. 21:49aggressive. So, it has like the hero
  679. 21:51imagery, the assets, the motion,
  680. 21:55the weight, the reveal distance, all
  681. 21:56this stuff. And so, at this point, it's
  682. 21:58really just a matter of tweaking it over
  683. 22:00and over again, showing it more
  684. 22:01references of things you like until you
  685. 22:03get it to a place you're happy with. And
  686. 22:05really this entire video has been about
  687. 22:07that. It's about giving you a flexible
  688. 22:08workflow, a series of steps that you can
  689. 22:10follow to get you to a place you're
  690. 22:13happy with. None of this is meant to be
  691. 22:15prescriptive. None of this needs to be
  692. 22:16followed to a T. Instead, it's about
  693. 22:18some like general rules and guidelines
  694. 22:19of figuring out, okay, what do I
  695. 22:21actually like, you know, cultivating
  696. 22:22that taste. How do I then take that
  697. 22:24taste and bring it to AI? What are some
  698. 22:26additional tools that Claude code
  699. 22:28doesn't come with that can help me do a
  700. 22:30better job of that? And then lastly, how
  701. 22:32do I tweak? How do I iterate? So, I'm
  702. 22:34not just at the mercy of Claude code one
  703. 22:37shots and just playing the lottery game
  704. 22:39of putting in a random prompt, saying,
  705. 22:40"Please make it look more premium." And
  706. 22:42praying that the output is good. So,
  707. 22:44with all that said, that is where I'm
  708. 22:46going to leave you guys for today. As
  709. 22:48always, let me know what you thought.
