Save this if you want your next AI site to ACTUALLY look good. This...

This is the exact UI workflow I use on every client MVP 👇
That’s exactly why your site looks messy and inconsistent.
Here’s what I do instead:
→ Take a screenshot of any site I love
→ Drop it into ChatGPT
→ Ask it to create a design.json that captures the layout, colors, spacing, typography
Then I tell Cursor:
“Use this design.json for styling only.”
Works insanely well.
Unicorn Studio has beautiful 3D templates.
Just pick one that fits your vibe.
Edit the text, colors, lighting, done.
It feels like magic and gives your site that “wow” without hiring a 3D designer.
Tweak CN lets you shuffle themes and build your own ShadCN design system in seconds.
Once you like the preview:
→ Go to the “code” tab
→ Copy the CSS
→ Paste it in your project
→ Tell Cursor to use it as your base
It’s fast, visual, and gives you full control.
Don’t rely only on raw ShadCN.
I pull in premium components from:
• ReactBits
• 21stdev
• Magic UI
Copy the component → Paste in Cursor → Ask it to place + style it right
Minor tweaks. Big results.
My go-to effects:
• Smooth hover
• Slight tilt
• Scroll fade-ins
• Glitch on hero heading
• Inertia scroll on sections
I ask Cursor to apply them section-by-section.
Keep it subtle. That’s the trick.
Use Midjourney to generate stunning background images.
Then drop them into Runway’s image-to-video tool to create dynamic visuals for your hero section.
Static looks good.
Motion looks even better.
→ Choose a clean Google Font
→ Tell Cursor where to apply it (like “headings in hero only”)
→ Be specific about responsiveness:
“Make this bento grid collapse into 1 column on mobile”
Avoid vague prompts like “make responsive.”
