How to write effective prompts for Macaly AI?

The instructions you send to Macaly AI are called prompts. You do not need to learn special commands or technical terminology. Write your request in the same way you would explain the job to another person.

However, the quality of the information you provide can have a major impact on the result.

Give Macaly AI context

Instead of:

Build a website for a café.

Try:

Build a modern website for a small independent café in Galway. We specialise in locally roasted coffee, homemade pastries and weekend brunch. Use warm colours and a relaxed style. Include Home, Menu, About and Contact pages, along with our opening hours and a prominent button to view the menu.

The second prompt tells Macaly AI what the business does, where it operates, who the site represents, the intended style, which pages are required and what visitors should be encouraged to do.

Describe the result rather than the technical steps

You normally do not need to tell Macaly AI how to code something. Instead of asking for a specific implementation, describe the result you want.

Display these services as three equal cards beside each other on desktop and stack them vertically on mobile.

Macaly AI can decide how to implement the request technically.

Make changes gradually

For your initial prompt, it is useful to describe the overall project. After that, focused requests one at a time are normally easier to manage.

Add a customer testimonials section underneath our services.
Make the testimonials more compact and display three at a time on desktop.
Add star ratings above each testimonial.

If you do not like the result, try to explain why. Instead of “I don’t like it. Try again.”, give the agent something concrete to change.

The homepage feels too corporate. Make it warmer and friendlier, use softer colours and larger photographs, but keep the existing content and page structure.

If you have any questions on the above, please do not hesitate to 'Open a Ticket' and we will be happy to advise further.
