Most AI-generated landing pages look the same—vague sections, off-brand colors, and no personality. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We are going to share a structured workflow using Lovable and 21stdev that creates landing pages clients actually love (like this one). Hero Section Landing Page

Step-by-step guide

From design inspiration to final polish, here’s the step-by-step guide he uses to build fast without sacrificing quality:
1

Start with Design Inspiration, Not a Prompt

Before writing a single word of prompt, browse Dribbble or Behance. Look for designs with:
  • Clean typography and spacing
  • Clear CTAs and minimal layout
  • Subtle interactions (not overdesigned)
Pick something you can realistically replicate. Avoid overly complex 3D designs if you don’t plan to recreate them.
A real client asked for a “modern and minimal” design. That informed the visual starting point. Avoid picking something you can’t deliver.
2

Start with a blank project

Start your Lovable project by prompting:
Start with a blank empty project. We will be adding details afterwords.
3

Convert WebP to PNG and Prep Your Design Screenshot 

Once you find your reference design, download it. If it saves in WebP format, use an online converter to change it to PNG so it can be easily used in Lovable or GPT workflows.

4

Turn Inspiration into a Detailed Prompt Using Chat Mode

Use Lovable Chat Mode to extract:
  • Page sections (hero, features, FAQ, etc.)
  • Layout structure, spacing, and content order
  • Font families, color palettes, and gradients
  • Animation types, hover effects, and transitions
Lovable Chat mode (or customGPT) is also trained to recommend Unsplash images for blog thumbnails and illustrations.
Lovable occasionally mislabels things (e.g., “Space Grotesque” font was misspelled). Always review and correct prompt outputs before pasting into Lovable.
You can even ask Lovable chat mode to elaborate on sections or rewrite the prompt with better UX suggestions.
5

Generate the First Draft with Lovable

Paste the detailed prompt into Lovable Edit Mode. Then:
  • Upload your PNG screenshot as a reference
  • Add notes like “Use Space Grotesque font” or “Use Unsplash for blog thumbnails”
This combo leads to far more accurate designs than vague, single-sentence prompts.
Please note how much Lovable faster this feels compared to setting up Tailwind or Bootstrap manually just a year ago.
6

Edit in Real Time: Visual + Text Prompts

Use Lovable’s visual editing tool to:
  • Resize images (e.g., “make this image 800px wide”)
  • Position hero images (e.g., “place this image on the right side”)
  • Align design sections with the reference image
Combine this with natural language edits for precision.
7

Polish the Design with 21stdev Components

Use 21stdev’s prebuilt UI components to upgrade:21stdev custom component
  • Hero sections
  • Navigation bars with hover effects
  • Testimonial layouts
  • CTAs and feature grids
Find a component you like, copy the prompt, and paste it into Lovable. Be sure to match the visual tone with the rest of the site.
8

Fix AI Misinterpretations

AI saves time, but expect cleanup:Add spec component in landing page
  • Adjust branding (Lovable defaults to blue)
  • Improve spacing and padding manually
  • Use consistent typography throughout
  • Add gradients or depth for a non-flat look
Make the design feel intentional, not “default.”
9

Optimize for Mobile (Non-Negotiable)

Don’t skip this. Ensure:Mobile Responsive website
  • Inputs go full-width
  • Font sizes adapt to smaller screens
  • Buttons are tap-friendly
  • Sections stack well and scroll smoothly
Mobile UX is critical for conversions.
10

Add Light Animations and Microinteractions

To modernize the feel:
  • Use fade-ins for hero sections
  • Add button hover effects
  • Animate sections on scroll
  • Use subtle background movement
Lovable can integrate Framer Motion out-of-the-box if prompted right.Add animation landing page
11

Generate Custom Visuals with AI (Optional)

Craft prompts for ChatGPT, Midjourney or Ideogram based on your favorite elements from the reference design.Steps:
1

Screenshot the desired visual section

2

Ask ChatGPT to write a matching prompt

3

Generate the image in your AI tool

4

Remove the background, then reinsert into Lovable

The latest ChatGPT 4o seems worth the test.
This is especially useful for 3D visuals or thematic illustrations.
12

Deploy with a Single Click

Once you’re happy with the result:
  • Click “Deploy” in Lovable
  • Connect a custom domain via Netlify
Your site goes live in minutes. No manual setup needed.
13

Share with Clients & Iterate

Copy the public link and share with your client. They can:
  • Review it live
  • Suggest tweaks
  • Approve quickly
You can continue refining sections using Lovable’s visual or prompt-based editor. It’s a fast iteration loop.

​
Why This Approach Works?

AI isn’t magic. But with structure, it becomes a superpower. Compared to unstructured prompting:
  • The first draft is 10x closer to done
  • You spend less time fixing errors
  • Every section has a purpose
  • The final product feels custom, not cookie-cutter
It’s a blend of automation + craftsmanship.

​
Key Takeaways

  • Start with strong visual inspiration
  • Use structured prompts with Lovable Chat Mode
  • Add screenshots and clarify expectations
  • Upgrade sections using 21stdev components
  • Fix design quirks and optimize for mobile
  • Animate where it matters
  • Deploy fast, iterate faster
This is the workflow Prajwal uses everyday for his clients - that we tried in-house - to build fast, beautiful, high-converting landing pages—powered by Lovable AI but guided by intention. Happy Building!
