Ask HN: Best workflow for modernizing a website's design via LLM?

2 pointsby ericbabout 2 months ago
I have a somewhat dated looking website, delivered via wordpress, that I&#x27;d like to update to a more modern look. Wordpress itself isn&#x27;t a requirement going forward, although it&#x27;s ok too.<p>Most importantly, I&#x27;m not a designer.<p>Has anyone used LLM&#x27;s or LLM based tools successfully to overhaul their website&#x27;s look and feel?<p>I&#x27;m imagining pointing to a website or two and getting a design &quot;inspired by&quot; their design, perhaps. Any suggested tools, or approaches you&#x27;ve tried that worked?

You just say stuff like &quot;use tailwindcss and make it look great!&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;andrewarrow&#x2F;xvibe" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;andrewarrow&#x2F;xvibe</a>

I don&#x27;t have any experience in this, but would be curious to see what happens if you make a couple of screenshots of your current website, pack you source code into a txt file and paste it into gemini pro <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aistudio.google.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aistudio.google.com</a> asking to get some feedback on how to improve, and then ask to implement it (maybe using claude [code?], it may work better)

Can you just change the wordpress template and call it a day?<p>(Disclaimer: I only saw my wife editing her WP site. I never tried to use it myself.)
