Lesson 1 — The Anatomy of a Great Prompt

Before you generate anything, you need to understand what separates a mediocre AI output from a jaw-dropping one. The answer is specificity.

Weak prompt:

"Make me a landing page for my business."

Strong prompt:

"Build a single-page landing page for a solar panel cleaning service targeting homeowners in Phoenix, AZ. Use a dark navy and orange color palette. Include: a hero with headline + subheadline + CTA button, a 3-feature grid with icons, a 5-star testimonial section with 3 fake reviews, a simple pricing section with 2 tiers, and a footer with contact info. Use clean modern CSS — no frameworks. Make it mobile responsive."

The difference is **context, structure, and constraints**. When you give AI all three, you get production-quality output on the first try.

**Your move:** Before touching any AI tool, write down:

What is the product or service?

Who is the customer (be specific — age, location, problem they have)?

What colors, vibe, or brands do you want it to look like?

What sections does the page need?

What action do you want visitors to take?

Fill in those 5 answers for your own page right now. This document becomes your prompt.
