Writing a good prompt
The prompt is the brief. A few extra words about who the site is for and what a visitor should do changes the result more than any setting on the page.
Volnyn builds your site from one plain-language description. You do not need to know design or code terms — you need to say what the site is for.
What the builder actually needs
Four things decide what gets built:
| Why it matters | |
|---|---|
| Type of site | A shop, a portfolio and a booking page have completely different page structures. |
| The specific business or subject | "A bakery called Sweet Crumb" produces real copy; "a food website" produces filler. |
| Who it is for | Local walk-in customers and wholesale buyers need different pages. |
| What has to be on it | Menu, gallery, pricing, booking form — anything you know you need. |
Say those four and the build starts immediately.
What you can leave out
Colours, fonts, spacing and layout are the builder's job. It picks a palette and a layout that suit the niche, so you do not have to specify them. You can always change the look afterwards by asking — see Editing your site with chat.
Short prompts get questions instead
If your description is very short or vague, Volnyn does not guess. It asks 3 to 5 quick multiple-choice questions first — site type, audience, what visitors should do, what belongs on the page — and each option tells you what it will build if you pick it.
That is a good outcome, not an error. But answering questions takes longer than writing one good sentence, so a fuller prompt gets you to a finished site faster.
A brief of roughly 30 words or more usually goes straight to building with no questions at all.
Examples
Vague — expect questions:
- "Make me a website"
- "A shop site"
- "Something for my business"
Ready to build:
- "A one-page website for my bakery Sweet Crumb in Lahore, with a menu, photo gallery, opening hours and a contact form. Customers walk in, so no online ordering."
- "A portfolio for a freelance wedding photographer. Galleries by event type, an about page, pricing tiers, and a booking enquiry form."
- "A landing page for an online fitness coaching service aimed at busy professionals, with three pricing plans, testimonials, and a signup button."
Notice what those have in common: a real name or subject, the audience, and the pages needed.
Use a reference site
If you already know a site you like, paste its URL in your prompt:
"Build a site like https://example.com but for my dental clinic."
Volnyn fetches that page and uses it as the design direction. A reference URL also skips the clarifying questions, because the look has already been decided.
Naming things helps the copy
The builder writes your text as well as your layout. Anything you name — the business, the services, the city, the price points — ends up in real sentences instead of placeholder copy. Anything you leave unsaid gets invented.
