What I keep finding in the sites I audit and how to fix it yourself, with the prompt to ask your AI for it.

  1. What is AI slop in web design?

    Spot an AI-generated website in five minutes: the classic tells, the newer ones almost nobody checks, and why a single tell is never enough to call it.

  3. Prompts for AI web design that doesn't look generic.

    Copy the prompts I use to stop Lovable, v0, Cursor or Claude designing on autopilot: the opening brief, one prompt per fix and the rules for your project.

  4. Lovable, v0 and Bolt websites: what gives them away.

    Find the fingerprints Lovable, v0 or Bolt leave on your site, from the domain to CSS variable names, and remove them so it looks yours, not the generator's.
