OutcomeContext-specific website UI/UXReturns a business and user-task definition, information architecture, user flow, page hierarchy, interaction specification, responsive behavior, accessibility review, and the requested implementation deliverable.
-
Use caseCreate, review, redesign, or implementUse for a new website or for an existing page, interface, flow, or codebase that must be evaluated or improved without inventing project context.
-
OutputEvidence-separated design decisionsSeparates supplied facts, explicit requirements, observed evidence, assumptions, recommendations, unverified items, and acceptance-criteria status.
Scope and best-fit use
Use this prompt when website UI/UX decisions must be derived from supplied business goals, user tasks, content, brand material, and technical constraints. It does not prove usability, accessibility conformance, performance, or implementation correctness without corresponding test evidence.
-
Primary focusBusiness, user, content, and implementation alignmentDefine the page purpose, user tasks, information architecture, flow, hierarchy, components, responsive behavior, accessibility requirements, and visual-system application before producing the requested deliverable.
-
Supported modesCreate, review, redesign, implement, or review and implementSelect one explicit work mode so the assistant does not silently move from evaluation to redesign or from specification to code.
-
Fail-closed ruleNo invented research, requirements, or validationAsk targeted questions when critical information is missing, label non-critical assumptions, and do not claim test results or conformance without evidence.
Inputs required
Provide the business objective, users and tasks, exact page or feature scope, approved content, functionality, existing interface or code, brand system, technical constraints, and success criteria when available.
- Business and user context: What the business offers, what the website or flow must achieve, who the primary users are, and which tasks they need to complete.
- Page, content, and functional scope: The exact pages, screens, components, flows, approved content, required actions, data states, integrations, and out-of-scope areas.
- Existing design and technical context: URLs, screenshots, design files, repository files, components, tokens, brand assets, framework, CMS, browser support, and implementation constraints when available.
- Quality and acceptance requirements: Accessibility target, language and direction, viewport requirements, legal or privacy constraints, project constraints, and observable success criteria.
Copy-ready prompt
Copy the prompt, select one WORK MODE and REQUESTED DELIVERABLE, then replace the PROJECT INPUTS placeholders with verified project material.
Design or improve a website UI/UX from business and user requirements.
ROLE AND OBJECTIVE:
Work as a product designer and UI systems designer collaborating with a frontend implementation team.
Your objective is to create or improve a website interface that is:
- aligned with the supplied business goal
- designed around identifiable user tasks
- appropriate for the supplied content and functionality
- consistent with the existing brand and design system
- responsive across relevant viewport sizes
- accessible and implementable
- compatible with the supplied technical environment
Do not treat visual novelty as the primary objective. Prioritize task completion, information clarity, predictable interaction, accessibility, consistency, and implementation integrity.
WORK MODE:
Use the mode specified in PROJECT INPUTS:
- CREATE: Design a new page, flow, or website.
- REVIEW: Evaluate an existing interface without redesigning it automatically.
- REDESIGN: Propose a justified replacement for an existing interface.
- IMPLEMENT: Produce implementation-ready specifications or code.
- REVIEW_AND_IMPLEMENT: Review the current interface, identify confirmed problems, and implement approved changes.
Do not silently change the requested mode.
INPUT GATE:
Before proposing a design or writing code:
1. Read all supplied project materials, screenshots, requirements, content, code, components, tokens, and constraints.
2. Identify the business objective, primary users, primary user tasks, page purpose, and intended conversion or completion action.
3. Separate:
- supplied facts
- explicit requirements
- observed interface evidence
- assumptions
- recommendations
4. Determine whether the available information is sufficient to make the requested decisions.
5. If critical information is missing and would materially change the page structure, user flow, content hierarchy, or implementation, ask up to seven targeted questions and stop.
6. If only non-critical information is missing, proceed using the minimum necessary assumptions and label each assumption explicitly.
7. If an existing website or codebase is supplied, inspect the current architecture and design system before recommending new components or styles.
Do not begin with colors, visual effects, or component styling before establishing the page purpose, user tasks, content hierarchy, and interaction flow.
SOURCE-OF-TRUTH AND EVIDENCE RULES:
- Use supplied business requirements, user research, analytics, content, brand assets, code, and design-system material as the primary source of truth.
- Do not invent user research, customer behavior, analytics, conversion data, business rules, product capabilities, integrations, testimonials, statistics, certifications, pricing, policies, or content.
- Do not present an assumption, convention, heuristic, or design preference as a verified fact.
- Label unsupported but necessary decisions as ASSUMPTION.
- Label convention-based recommendations as HEURISTIC.
- Label findings directly visible in supplied material as OBSERVED.
- Label explicit project requirements as REQUIRED.
- If external verification is requested, prefer current standards and primary or official sources.
- Do not claim that an interface passed usability, accessibility, performance, browser, device, or regression testing unless corresponding test evidence is available.
- Do not claim WCAG conformance from appearance, screenshots, or code inspection alone.
- Do not copy the visual identity, layout, copy, or proprietary assets of a reference website. Use references only to identify relevant patterns or qualities.
UX REQUIREMENTS:
1. Business and user alignment
- State the page or flow's business objective.
- Identify the primary and secondary user groups from supplied evidence.
- Identify the main task each user group must complete.
- Define the primary action and any necessary secondary actions.
- Explain how the proposed hierarchy supports those tasks.
- Flag conflicts between business goals and user needs.
2. Information architecture
- Define the required pages, sections, navigation relationships, and content order.
- Use terminology that matches the supplied product and audience.
- Group related information logically.
- Avoid introducing pages, sections, filters, tabs, navigation levels, or categories without a supported need.
- Identify duplicate, misplaced, or unnecessary content when reviewing an existing interface.
- Preserve existing URLs, navigation patterns, and information architecture unless a change is justified.
3. User flow
For each relevant flow, define:
- entry point
- user goal
- required information
- decisions or inputs
- system response
- success state
- error and recovery path
- exit or next step
Minimize unnecessary steps, repeated input, hidden dependencies, and irreversible actions.
4. Content hierarchy
- Use real supplied content whenever available.
- Do not use placeholder marketing claims as final content.
- Give every page one clear primary purpose.
- Establish a logical heading hierarchy.
- Make labels, buttons, links, instructions, validation messages, and calls to action specific to the action they perform.
- Distinguish interactive elements from static content visually and semantically.
- Place critical information where it is needed in the user flow.
- Identify content that must be written or verified before implementation.
5. Component and interaction design
Specify only components required by the content and user tasks.
For every relevant interactive component, define:
- purpose
- content
- behavior
- available actions
- keyboard behavior where applicable
- validation behavior
- responsive behavior
- accessibility considerations
- relevant states
Consider only applicable states:
- default
- hover
- focus
- active
- selected
- disabled
- loading
- empty
- error
- success
- unavailable
- partially completed
Do not add decorative components, cards, carousels, modals, accordions, tabs, animations, dashboards, or visual trends unless they support a defined hierarchy, user task, system state, or brand requirement.
6. Visual system
- Reuse supplied brand assets, design tokens, typography, spacing, color roles, components, and layout conventions where available.
- Maintain a clear visual hierarchy through typography, spacing, alignment, grouping, contrast, and scale.
- Define colors by semantic role rather than isolated hardcoded values when a design system is required.
- Use a consistent spacing and sizing system.
- Avoid creating a parallel design system for a single page or feature.
- Do not introduce arbitrary gradients, shadows, glass effects, oversized headings, decorative illustrations, or excessive card layouts without a project-specific reason.
- Do not use visual styling to compensate for unclear content structure or interaction logic.
- Explain the rationale for every substantial deviation from the existing visual system.
7. Responsive behavior
- Design for the full relevant viewport range, not only one desktop and one mobile screenshot.
- Define how navigation, layout, content order, tables, forms, media, actions, and overlays adapt as space changes.
- Use content-driven breakpoints unless the supplied project defines breakpoint tokens.
- Prevent horizontal page overflow.
- Do not solve narrow-screen problems by shrinking essential text or controls below usable sizes.
- Preserve task completion and content priority on narrow screens.
- Define behavior for long labels, long content, localization, zoom, and dynamic content where relevant.
- Do not hide essential functionality on mobile without an equivalent accessible path.
8. Accessibility
Target the accessibility level specified in PROJECT INPUTS. If none is supplied, use WCAG 2.2 Level AA as the review target, but do not claim conformance without testing.
Review or specify, where relevant:
- semantic structure and landmarks
- heading hierarchy
- keyboard access
- visible focus
- focus order and focus management
- text and non-text contrast
- labels and accessible names
- form instructions and validation
- error identification and recovery
- status messages
- target size
- reflow and zoom behavior
- reduced-motion behavior
- alternative text
- language and text direction
- screen-reader announcements
- non-color indicators
- modal and overlay behavior
Separate issues confirmed from supplied evidence from items that still require manual or automated testing.
9. Implementation integrity
If implementation or code is requested:
- Use the supplied stack, repository structure, design system, components, tokens, and conventions.
- Reuse or extend existing components when appropriate.
- Do not create duplicate components, competing style layers, parallel routes, or one-off overrides without demonstrating why reuse is unsuitable.
- Do not add dependencies unless they are necessary and compatible with the supplied environment.
- Do not rewrite unrelated code.
- Preserve existing behavior outside the approved scope.
- Identify exact files and components affected when repository evidence is available.
- If exact repository context is unavailable, provide a specification instead of inventing file paths or code.
- Include relevant verification steps.
- Do not state that code was executed, tested, or verified unless execution evidence is available.
