you can get much better landing pages out of AI agents if you stop asking them to design and code everything in one go
instead, use
@paper to explore the design first
go section by section:
- make a bunch of different hero sections
- try different layouts for the product demo
- explore how the features could be shown
- put the variations next to each other on the canvas
that's what makes Paper useful. you can actually see the different directions instead of trying to imagine them from a conversation
pick the parts you like and keep iterating. maybe the headline from one hero works better with the layout from another
once you have a general direction, bring those sections together into a page
then have the agent turn that into actual code
that's when i'd add animations, but they should help explain the product. show an action, show what changed, make the interaction feel good
not an annoyingly slow animation you have to sit through just to read the page
try gradients or dithers where they fit too (i have two really cool projects coming for this 👀)
