How to Make Changes to Your Website

Your website isn't carved in stone - it's a living thing! Whether you're tweaking the layout, adding new content, or swapping images, you can make changes just by talking to the chat. The magic of vibe coding is that you don't need to know how to code, edit HTML, or install software. You just say what you want, and your site updates accordingly.

This guide walks through some common types of edits - with examples - and shows you how to request each one with simple prompts. If you're ever unsure what to say, think of the chat like a friendly web designer who understands your style.

🌟 How It Works

Behind the scenes, every change you make in the chat updates the code for your website - safely and instantly in a preview version. You can explore all the updates before anything goes live. Once you're happy, just say something like:

“Looks great! Go ahead and publish it.”

Now let's explore the most common types of edits:

✏️ Add a Blog Section

Blogs are great for keeping your site fresh and showing your expertise.

Sample prompt:

“Can you add a blog section to my site? I'd like it under its own tab in the navigation. Later I'll post articles about home renovation tips.”

The system will automatically create a ready-to-go blog layout, with built-in support for:

Featured images
Author info
Tags and categories
Summaries and publish dates

🐶 Add a Blog Article

Let's say you run a dog grooming business, and want to post an article about helping dogs with anxiety during grooming.

You can just type:

“Can you write a blog article titled How to Calm an Anxious Dog During Grooming? Please include tips about playing soft music, using calming scents, and giving treats. Keep it warm and reassuring in tone - like I'm writing to a fellow dog lover.”

Or, if you've already written something in Word or Notepad, you can just upload the file to the chat.

Don't worry about grammar or formatting - the AI automatically polishes the article unless you ask it not to.

Want a specific voice? Just say:

“Use a fun, vlog-style tone with lots of personality.”

“Make it sound professional and informative - like something from a veterinary clinic's website.”

If your site's growing, you might want to organize your pages with dropdowns and clean navigation.

Sample prompts:

“Add a link to my 'Pricing' page in the top nav.”

“Move the 'Privacy Policy' page under the 'About' dropdown.”

If your site is small, new pages are added to the top menu by default. If you'd rather keep things simple:

“Don't add this to the nav for now - I'll link to it later from a blog post.”

🖼️ Replace or Add Images

Want to update your images? It's easy.

Upload an image to the chat.
Then say something like:

“Please replace the hero image on the home page with the one I just uploaded.”

Images are automatically resized to work well across phones, tablets, and desktops - so you don't have to worry about file size or performance.

Need a placeholder? You can even generate AI images:

“Make me a placeholder photo of a modern dog grooming studio with soft lighting.”

Note: Free and lower-tier plans use budget AI models. If you're aiming for quality, you can generate images using tools like ChatGPT (with DALL·E), Midjourney, or your favorite AI art app, then upload the final result. We'll even offer tips in the chat for better prompts if needed.

🗂️ Add a New Page

Say you want to add a new service page for termite repair to your carpentry business.

Just say:

“Create a new page called 'Termite Repair'. Use my tone from the rest of the site, and emphasize that I specialize in restoring older homes.”

We'll generate a fully formatted page that matches your existing design - or prompt you with follow-up questions if we need more info.

Want to write the content yourself? Upload a file or paste your text right into the chat.

📌 It's Hard to Explain? Use Numbering or Upload Sketches

Sometimes your site gets complex, and you're not sure how to describe "that one section with the blue background and the button."

That's where our Numbering Mode comes in. Just say:

“Turn on numbering so I can reference items more easily.”

Your site preview will update with small numbered tags over each element. Then just say:

“Replace image #3 with a photo of my latest kitchen remodel.”

You can also sketch changes by hand (yes, on paper!) and upload a photo. Many users do this:

Draw your layout or mark up an existing screenshot.
Snap a picture.
Upload it.

We'll figure it out from there!

🛠 Other Examples of Changes You Can Make

Here are a few more things you can easily change - just describe what you want!

💬 Change text content

“On the home page, can you change the sentence about '10 years of experience' to say 'over 20 years'?”
🎨 Tweak the look and feel

“Can we make the background of the testimonials section a soft gray?”
🌐 Link to external websites

“Add a footer link to my Instagram: @woodworkbymara”

💡 Pro Tips for Smooth Changes

Be conversational. You don't have to use perfect grammar - just describe what you want as if you're talking to a friend who knows how to build websites.
Be specific when it matters. If you know what you want, go ahead and say it! But if you're unsure, that's fine too - we'll guide you.
Work offline if you prefer. Want to write your ideas down first? Draft them in Word or Notepad and upload when ready.
Batch your edits. You can request a bunch of small edits at once:

“On the About page, fix the spelling of ‘cabinetry', change the header font to something more modern, and remove the outdated team photo.”

🏁 Ready to Publish

Once you've reviewed the preview and everything looks good, say:

“Let's publish this to the live site.”

Done!

Still Unsure?

You can always ask the chat:

“Can I do X with my site?”

The answer is often yes - and if it's not yet possible, we might offer a clever workaround or plan to support it soon.

Building and updating your website shouldn't feel like pulling teeth. With vibe coding on GoodVibes, it's as smooth as conversation - because that's exactly what it is.

So go ahead. Try it. Your perfect site is just a chat away!
