Recreate Any Website Design With Google AI Studio

Find Design Inspiration

Find a website whose design you like. You might like its:

- Hero layout - Typography - Colors - Navigation - Section structure - Cards - Image placement - Spacing - Overall visual style

You do not need to understand how the original website was built.

Capture the Design

Take clear screenshots of the parts you want Google AI Studio to reference. For a simple website, start with:

- Homepage hero - Main sections - Footer

One full-page screenshot may be enough, but 2-4 clear screenshots usually make it easier to show important sections at a readable size. If the mobile design is important, you can also provide a mobile screenshot.

Google has demonstrated AI Studio workflows where builders upload sources including design inspiration, then refine the generated result from the preview.

Prepare Your Own Website Information

Before building, prepare:

Business / website name

Business type

Main headline

Short description

Primary CTA (Get a Quote / Book Now / Contact Us / Start Free / etc.)

Main services or products

Contact information

You can also prepare: - Your logo - Your own photos - Brand colors - Social links

Use the Design, Not the Other Brand

The reference website is there to communicate the visual direction.

IMPORTANT

Do not intentionally copy the reference's business name, logo, written content, customer reviews, product photography, trademarks, or proprietary graphics. The final website should belong to your business, even when the original site inspired the design.

Google AI Studio Build

Build the First Version

Build From a Visual Reference

Builds a professional responsive website using the attached reference screenshots for layout, hero composition, navigation, spacing, typography, cards, and visual rhythm — but with the reader's own business name, headline, content, services, and contact information throughout, never the original brand's name, logo, copy, or testimonials. Never adds Firebase, Supabase, auth, a database, or unrequested functionality — focuses first on design, composition, and responsive layout, and builds the complete first version.

Build a professional responsive website using the attached website screenshots as the visual reference. I want my new website to achieve a similar overall design quality and visual direction. Study the reference carefully, including: - overall layout - hero composition - navigation style - content width - section order - typography hierarchy - spacing - image placement - card proportions - borders and shadows - background treatment - CTA placement - visual rhythm between sections Do not simply create a generic website for this industry. Use the attached reference to guide the design. However, create a new website for my own business rather than copying the original brand. My website information: Business name: [BUSINESS NAME] Business type: [BUSINESS TYPE] Primary goal: [PRIMARY GOAL] Headline: [HEADLINE] Supporting text: [SUPPORTING TEXT] Primary CTA: [CTA] Services / products: [SERVICES OR PRODUCTS] Contact information: [CONTACT INFORMATION] Use my own content throughout the website. Requirements: - create a polished homepage based on the reference's overall design direction - make the layout responsive - create an intentional mobile version - preserve strong visual hierarchy - use consistent typography and spacing - make the primary CTA obvious - create reusable components where appropriate - use accessible buttons, links, and navigation If I provide my own logo or images, use them. If an image is missing, use an appropriate temporary placeholder or generate an original asset where appropriate rather than copying the original website's image. Do not: - copy the original company's name - copy its logo - copy its text - copy customer testimonials - reproduce proprietary graphics - invent fake reviews or business claims - add Firebase - add Supabase - add authentication - add a database - add unnecessary APIs - add functionality that I did not request Focus first on getting the design, composition, and responsive layout right. Build the complete first version.

Compare the Result

Once the first version appears, compare it with the reference. Do not worry about tiny differences — look at the things that have the biggest visual impact:

Is the hero composition similar?

Is the content width right?

Is there enough whitespace?

Is the typography hierarchy comparable?

Are the sections structured similarly?

Are images positioned properly?

Does the generated site feel equally polished?

Usually the first generation will need refinement. That is normal.

Target One Section at a Time

Do not ask Google AI Studio to rebuild the entire website every time one section looks wrong. Use the preview editing/annotation tools to target the specific part you want to improve. Google's current AI Studio editing tools allow you to annotate directly in the preview and tell the agent what component or area to change.

Improve the Hero

Select the hero section.

Refine the Hero Section

Refines only the hero's proportions, headline scale, content width, whitespace, alignment, image size/placement, and CTA positioning against the reference — keeps the reader's own content and branding, and never touches other sections.

Refine only this hero section using the reference website as the visual target. Compare: - proportions - headline scale - content width - whitespace - alignment - image size and placement - CTA positioning Bring this section closer to the quality and composition of the reference while keeping my own content and branding. Do not modify other sections.

Improve a Section

For example, select the services section.

Refine a Section

Refines only the selected section's spacing, card size/proportions, typography hierarchy, alignment, image/icon placement, borders, shadows, and whitespace to better follow the reference's design language — preserves all existing content and never touches unrelated sections.

Refine only this section to better follow the design language of the reference. Focus on: - section spacing - card size and proportions - typography hierarchy - alignment - image/icon placement - borders - shadows - whitespace Preserve all of my existing content. Do not change unrelated sections.

Replace Generic AI Design

If AI Studio produced something too generic:

Fix Generic-Looking Sections

Compares the section against the reference and improves the actual composition rather than adding decoration — reduces unnecessary cards, pills, badges, gradients, rounded containers, and decorative icons, matches the reference's simpler hierarchy and spacing, and preserves content and functionality.

This section still looks like a generic AI-generated template. Compare it carefully with the reference and improve the composition rather than adding more decoration. Reduce unnecessary: - cards - pills - badges - gradients - rounded containers - decorative icons Match the reference's simpler visual hierarchy and spacing more closely. Preserve my content and functionality.

Replace Placeholder Content

Now make sure the website belongs completely to your business.

Audit for Placeholder or Reference-Derived Content

Audits the whole website for anything that isn't the reader's own — business names, headings, descriptions, services, buttons, contact info, images, logos, testimonials, statistics, addresses, social links — replaces it using only the supplied business information and assets, never invents missing information, and clearly marks anything that still needs real content instead of making it up.

Audit the entire website for placeholder or reference-derived content. Replace anything that does not belong to my business. Check: - business names - headings - descriptions - services - buttons - contact information - images - logos - testimonials - statistics - addresses - social links Use only the business information and assets I supplied. Do not invent missing information. If something still needs real content from me, clearly mark it for review instead of inventing it.

Add Your Real Images

Replace temporary images with:

- Your own business photos - Product photos - Portfolio images - Team images - Your logo

If suitable, AI Studio can also generate original custom assets directly during the build process using its current image-generation capabilities.

IMPORTANT

Do not generate fake customers, reviews, certifications, before/after results, or business achievements.

Fix Mobile & Tablet

A website that resembles the reference on desktop but breaks on mobile is not finished.

Mobile & Tablet Responsiveness

Tests the layout at common phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop widths and fixes horizontal overflow, oversized headings, poor text wrapping, cramped sections, broken grids, badly cropped images, hard-to-tap buttons, navigation problems, and covering fixed elements — makes mobile feel intentionally designed rather than a shrunken desktop, while preserving the approved desktop direction and leaving working sections alone.

Review the entire website specifically for mobile and tablet responsiveness. Preserve the approved desktop design direction. Test the layout at common phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop widths. Fix: - horizontal overflow - oversized headings - poor text wrapping - cramped sections - awkward card stacking - broken grids - badly cropped images - buttons that are difficult to tap - navigation problems - fixed elements covering content - inconsistent mobile spacing Do not simply shrink the desktop website. Make the mobile layout feel intentionally designed. Do not redesign sections that already work correctly.

Test the Real Website Experience

Manually click through:

Navigation Primary CTA Secondary buttons Forms Mobile menu Footer links

If the website contains a contact form or another feature that is only visual at this stage, do not pretend it works. Either connect it properly later or clearly treat it as unfinished functionality.

Run the Final Audit

Final Production-Readiness Audit

Verifies design consistency and polish against the reference, originality (no reference company name/logo/copy/testimonials/proprietary images remain), responsive design across mobile/tablet/desktop, functionality (links, CTAs, forms only if intended to work, no fake functionality), and technical quality (production build, no runtime errors, no broken assets, no unnecessary backend). Makes no new stylistic changes or features, and answers Website status: READY or NOT READY with only the remaining important issues.

Run a final production-readiness audit of this website. Use the reference website only as a visual benchmark. Do not make additional stylistic changes unless there is a real remaining problem. Verify: Design - the website has a consistent professional visual direction - the overall composition achieves a similar level of polish to the reference - typography is consistent - spacing is consistent - section hierarchy is clear - image treatment is consistent - primary CTAs are easy to identify Originality - the reference company's name does not remain anywhere - the reference logo is not used - no third-party website copy remains - no reference testimonials remain - no proprietary reference images or graphics remain - all business information belongs to my website Responsive design - mobile layout works - tablet layout works - desktop layout works - navigation works - there is no unintended horizontal scrolling - text wraps correctly - images maintain appropriate proportions - buttons remain easy to use Functionality - all intended links work - primary CTAs work - forms work if they are intended to be functional - no fake functionality is presented as complete Technical quality - production build succeeds - no important runtime errors remain - no broken assets remain - no unnecessary backend or database was introduced Do not add new features during this audit. Finish with: Website status: READY / NOT READY If NOT READY, list only the remaining important issues.

Save the Finished Project

Once the website looks right and passes the final checks, save/export the code using the workflow you plan to use next. Do not turn this guide into a deployment tutorial. The important result is already complete:

Website you like Visual reference Google AI Studio Your own website with a similar design direction

Design Direction, Not Pixel-Perfect Cloning

You do not need to know the original framework, its CSS, its font sizes, its spacing values, or how the original developer built each section. You show Google AI Studio the visual result you like and use it as the design direction.

"I like how this restaurant website looks." Build your own restaurant website in a similar style.

"I like this SaaS landing page." Recreate the visual direction for your own SaaS.

"I like this agency website." Use its composition as inspiration for your own business website.

The objective is not pixel-perfect cloning.

The objective is: take a website design you love and use AI to create your own version of that design.
