Tips for Better Results

  • •Be specific about positioning: "Add a button in the top right corner" vs "add a button"
  • •Mention colors by name: "Use purple-600" or describe: "a dark purple"
  • •Reference existing elements: "Match the style of the header"
  • •Specify responsive behavior: "Stack vertically on mobile"
