You don’t need to be a prompt engineer to build great pages — if you can describe what you want, you can build it. These habits will get you better pages, faster.
Describe the page like a brief
Name the sections you want and what each should do. Compare:
Make me a landing page.
Build a landing page for our August webinar: a hero with the title, date, and a registration button; a “What you’ll learn” section with 3 bullet points; a short speaker bio; and a final call to action. Keep the copy concise.
The second request gives Uncanny Agent a structure to build against — you’ll get a complete, well-organized page on the first pass.
Iterate in small steps
Refine one thing at a time: “Make the hero taller.” “Now change the button color.” Small, specific requests are easy to evaluate and easy to undo. For bigger shifts (“redesign this in a darker, more editorial style”), expect a bigger change — and review it before approving saves.
Point at what you mean
Uncanny Agent names each section as it builds (“Webinar hero,” “Speaker bio”), so use those names: “tighten the copy in the Speaker bio section.” In the Manual editor, you can also select any element and click Edit with Uncanny Agent to scope the conversation to exactly that element.
Show an example
If you have a design you admire, upload a screenshot of it in the chat and ask Uncanny Agent to build in that style. The screenshot is what Agent works from — it can’t visit URLs or browse the web itself.
Set your direction once
Give Uncanny Agent standing design direction (“clean and minimal, generous white space”) and set up your brand styles so every build starts on brand — then you’re only ever describing the page, not re-explaining your brand.
Ask for a critique
Stuck on why a page isn’t working? Ask Uncanny Agent: “What would you improve about this page?” It reads the actual page before answering, so the feedback is grounded in what’s really there.
Work in drafts
Keep new pages as drafts, preview at desktop, tablet, and mobile widths, and publish when you’re happy. Say it explicitly if it matters: “don’t publish — leave it as a draft.”
