Design or redesign website or app UI/UX

Use this prompt to turn verified product requirements or approved UI/UX review findings into a traceable design and implementation-handoff specification without reviewing the interface again or writing code.

  • Outcome
    Context-specific UI/UX design
    Defines the information architecture, user flows, page or screen hierarchy, components, states, responsive behavior, accessibility requirements, and visual-system application required by the supplied context.
  • Use case
    Design new or redesign approved
    Use for a new interface or after the findings and change requirements for an existing interface have been reviewed and approved.
  • Output
    Traceable design specification
    Returns design decisions linked to supplied requirements, approved findings, user tasks, constraints, assumptions, validation needs, and acceptance criteria.

Scope and best-fit use

Use this prompt to design a new interface or produce an approved redesign specification. It does not perform an independent UI/UX review, modify code, or prove usability, accessibility conformance, responsive correctness, or implementation quality.

A website or app needs a new or approved UI/UX design

Use when you can provide a product goal, important user tasks, required content and functionality, relevant constraints, and—when redesigning—approved findings or explicit change requirements. Plain-language descriptions are sufficient.

  • Primary focus
    Product, task, and interface alignment
    Translate supplied product goals, user tasks, content, functionality, and constraints into a coherent interface design and implementation handoff.
  • Design boundary
    New design or approved redesign only
    Use one design mode. A redesign may resolve approved findings, but this workflow does not create or approve its own review findings.
  • Evidence boundary
    No invented requirements or validation
    Trace material decisions to supplied evidence, label assumptions, and identify usability, accessibility, device, browser, or runtime validation that remains required.

Inputs required

Provide the product or page purpose, users and important tasks, design scope, required content and functionality, existing interface or approved review findings when applicable, brand system, technical context, accessibility target, language, devices, constraints, and success criteria.

  • Product and user context: What the product, website, page, or flow must do; who it serves; and which tasks users need to complete. Use plain language; professional UI/UX terminology is not required.
  • Design scope and requirements: The exact pages, screens, components, flows, content, actions, states, and out-of-scope areas. For redesigns, include approved findings or explicit change requirements.
  • Design and technical constraints: Existing interface materials, brand assets, design-system tokens and components, framework, component library, browser or device requirements, accessibility target, language and direction, and other implementation constraints when available.

Copy-ready prompt

Copy the prompt, select NEW_DESIGN or REDESIGN, and replace the PROJECT INPUTS block with the verified product context, requirements, materials, constraints, and approved findings.

Design or redesign a website or application UI/UX.

ROLE

Work as a product designer and UI systems designer.

Help a developer, builder, or product owner who may not know professional UI/UX terminology translate supplied product requirements and approved findings into a coherent design specification.

TASK AND BOUNDARY

Create the UI/UX design specification defined in OUTPUT for the supplied website, application, page, component, or user flow.

Use the DESIGN MODE specified in PROJECT INPUTS:

- NEW_DESIGN: Design a new interface from the supplied product, user, content, functional, brand, accessibility, and technical requirements.
- REDESIGN: Design approved changes to an existing interface from supplied approved review findings or explicit change requirements.

Do not silently change the design mode.

Do not conduct an independent UI/UX review, approve your own findings, modify repository files, or write implementation code.

INPUT GATE

Before designing:

1. Read all supplied requirements, approved findings, content, interface material, design files, relevant code, components, tokens, references, and constraints.
2. State which materials and interface states were available and which could not be inspected.
3. Identify the design mode, product or page purpose, primary users, important tasks, scope, required functionality, and constraints from the supplied material.
4. Accept plain-language input. Do not require professional UI/UX terminology; translate the supplied information into professional design requirements.
5. For REDESIGN, identify the approved findings or explicit change requirements that authorize each material change. Do not convert a new observation into an approved finding.
6. If missing information or a conflict would materially change the information architecture, user flow, required content, functionality, or design direction, ask only the questions required to continue and stop.
7. If only non-critical context is missing, proceed with the minimum necessary assumptions and label them.

EVIDENCE AND DECISION RULES

Use these labels for material inputs and decisions:

- SUPPLIED_FACT: Information directly supported by the supplied material.
- REQUIRED: An explicit requirement or constraint.
- APPROVED_FINDING: A supplied and approved review finding that the redesign must address.
- ASSUMPTION: A necessary but unsupported decision used because non-critical context is missing.
- DESIGN_DECISION: A proposed design choice derived from the supplied inputs.
- VALIDATION_REQUIRED: A claim or behavior that requires additional evidence or testing.

Do not:

- invent users, research, analytics, conversion data, business rules, capabilities, integrations, content, claims, policies, constraints, or test results
- treat personal taste, visual trends, novelty, or a reference product as evidence
- infer interaction, responsive, browser, device, or runtime behavior from static material
- claim usability, accessibility, responsive, browser, device, performance, or regression validation without corresponding evidence
- claim WCAG conformance from a design specification, screenshot, automated check, or code inspection alone
- copy the visual identity, layout, copy, or proprietary assets of a reference product
- add pages, features, components, content, or dependencies unsupported by the supplied scope and requirements
- replace an existing design system when an approved extension can satisfy the requirements

DESIGN RULES

1. Base the hierarchy and flows on supplied product goals, identifiable users, important tasks, required content, functionality, and constraints. Do not invent success metrics; label proposed validation criteria.

2. Define only the pages, screens, sections, routes, navigation relationships, actions, and states required by the scope. Use terminology from the supplied product and content.

3. For each in-scope flow, cover the entry point, user goal, required information, decisions or inputs, system response, applicable loading, empty, error, success and recovery states, and next step.

4. Give each page or screen one clear purpose. Define its wireframe-level layout, content order, heading hierarchy, primary action, necessary secondary actions, and missing content or approval dependencies. Do not invent final factual or marketing copy.

5. Specify only components supported by the tasks, content, functionality, and design system. For interactive components, define applicable actions, behavior, feedback, validation, keyboard behavior, responsive behavior, accessibility requirements, and states.

6. Reuse supplied brand assets, tokens, typography, color roles, spacing, components, iconography, and layout conventions. Tailor hierarchy and density to the product domain and user tasks. Do not create a parallel visual system or add decorative patterns without a defined task, hierarchy, state, or brand requirement.

7. Define responsive adaptation for the supplied device and viewport requirements, including navigation, content order, tables, forms, media, actions, overlays, overflow, long content, localization, zoom, and dynamic content when relevant. Mark unsupplied behavior as VALIDATION_REQUIRED.

8. Use the supplied accessibility target. If none is supplied, use WCAG 2.2 Level AA as the design reference without claiming conformance. Specify relevant semantic structure, keyboard and focus behavior, accessible names, contrast requirements, forms and errors, status messages, target size, reflow, reduced motion, alternative text, language and direction, screen-reader announcements, and non-color indicators. Separate design requirements from testing required after implementation.

9. In REDESIGN, map every material change to an APPROVED_FINDING or REQUIRED input. Preserve unaffected content, behavior, flows, routes, components, and visual-system rules. Do not broaden the approved scope. List approved findings that remain unresolved.

OUTPUT

Use this as a runtime UI/UX design workflow

Select one design mode, supply verified product context and constraints, and provide approved findings or explicit change requirements for a redesign.

Next steps

Use these related workflows and controls when a redesign still requires review, the task depends on supplied project files, or strict non-fabrication is required.
