Generate a Website Image
Create one website-ready Google Flow image prompt.
Create one premium, photorealistic, website-ready image for {{BUSINESS_TYPE}}. The image should show {{IMAGE_TYPE}}, shot in a {{VISUAL_STYLE}} style. Aim for {{MOOD}}. For colors, use {{BRAND_COLORS}}. Make it realistic and high-end, like professional commercial photography: clean, well lit, and uncluttered, with natural depth, sharp detail, and calm empty space where website text can sit on top. Generate one single, final, website-ready image only, and set its aspect ratio to {{ASPECT_RATIO}}. Do not create multiple variations, a collage, an image grid, a contact sheet, a split-screen or multi-panel composition, or several images combined into one result — return exactly one image. Avoid text, logos, watermarks, distorted faces or hands, busy or distracting backgrounds, heavy filters, neon glow, and any obviously AI-generated look.

Generate a Hero Video
Create a cinematic Google Flow video prompt.
Create a short, cinematic background video for the hero section of {{BUSINESS_TYPE}}. It should show {{VIDEO_SUBJECT}}, filmed using {{CAMERA_MOVEMENT}}. Aim for {{VISUAL_MOOD}}. The overall style should be {{BRAND_STYLE}}. Keep the clip short and easy to loop, around 5 to 10 seconds, with smooth, slow, steady motion. Make it premium and realistic, like a high-end commercial, and simple enough that a headline stays readable on top of it. Keep the lighting and color consistent with a professional website. Avoid text, logos, watermarks, fast cuts, shaky or jarring movement, distorted faces or hands, busy backgrounds, and any obviously AI-generated look. Deliver the video in {{VIDEO_ORIENTATION}}.

Build the Website
Create a complete website build prompt using your business details and prepared visual references.
Build a premium, visually impressive website for my business using the brief below. BUSINESS Business name: {{BUSINESS_NAME}} Business type: {{BUSINESS_TYPE}} Location: {{BUSINESS_LOCATION}} Main services: {{MAIN_SERVICES}} {{CONTACT_DETAILS}} Additional information: {{EXTRA_INFO}} DESIGN DIRECTION Brand colors: {{BRAND_COLORS}} Visual style: {{VISUAL_STYLE}} Main call to action: {{MAIN_CTA}} Sections: {{WEBSITE_SECTIONS}} Use the inspiration screenshot in this project folder as the visual direction. Match its layout feel, spacing, and quality level. Do not copy it exactly, and do not reuse its brand, logo, or text. ASSETS Use the images, logo, and video inside the assets folder in this project folder. Use the hero video wherever it makes the design stronger, and keep the headline readable on top of it. Do not use placeholder or stock images when a real file exists in the assets folder. WHAT TO BUILD Build a complete static website using only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If you ask me to choose a project type, use a multi-file static site. Name the main file index.html. Organize every required file clearly inside this project folder. Make the website: - premium, modern, and visually impressive - fully responsive on desktop, tablet, and mobile - built around a memorable, visually strong hero section - premium in its typography, with polished spacing and clear visual hierarchy - smooth, with tasteful animations and interactive details - easy to navigate, with clear navigation and obvious calls to action Avoid: - a generic AI-generated appearance - cluttered layouts, excessive gradients, or neon glow - placeholder text left in the final result - broken links or empty sections - React, Vite, npm, a build step, a backend, or a database Before you start building, ask me any essential questions if important information is missing. Do not invent contact details, prices, reviews, awards, or business claims. Use clearly editable placeholders instead.
Optional extra details. Leave them empty if you're not sure — Claude will ask if it needs them.
