Estruturando a página

A landing page is a single web page that introduces one product, app, or idea. Visitors arrive, learn what you offer, and click one main button.

In this course you will not write the code yourself. You will describe the page to an AI assistant in plain English, and it builds it for you.

Before colors or fancy words, you need a skeleton: the bones of the page. This is called scaffolding.

A good first prompt asks the AI for a basic structure with a header, a main area, and a footer. Keep it simple. You can always add more later.

The AI works better when it knows your topic. Tell it the product or idea in one sentence.

Give it a name and a short goal. The more concrete you are, the closer the first result will be to what you imagine.

The hero is the big area at the top of the page. It usually has a headline, one short sentence, and a button.

When scaffolding, ask the AI to leave clear placeholders in the hero so you know where the headline and button go.

As a beginner, it is easier to work with a single file you can open in a browser. Many AI tools spread code across several files by default.

So it helps to clearly ask for one self-contained HTML file. Then you only have one thing to open and preview.

Tell the AI which sections you want so the skeleton matches your plan. Common landing page sections are: hero, features, testimonials, and a final call to action.

You do not need all of them now. Naming them early gives the page a clear shape.

Long, tangled prompts confuse the AI. Short prompts with one clear request work best.

If you want many things, ask for them one step at a time. Build the skeleton first, then add details in later messages.

After the AI replies, look at what it made. Does it have a header, hero, and footer? Are your section names there?

You do not need to understand every line of code. Just check that the big pieces match your request before moving on.

If the AI forgot something, just say so plainly. You do not need to start over.

Point at the missing part and ask for it. The AI keeps the rest and adds what you asked for.

Early on, it is okay if the words are fake, like "Headline goes here". These placeholders mark where real content will live.

Scaffolding is about structure, not final text. You will replace the placeholder words in a later lesson.

By now you can ask the AI for a tidy skeleton: header, hero, a few named sections, and a footer, all in one file.

This clean base makes every later step easier. A messy start leads to a messy page, so it is worth getting the bones right.

You learned that a landing page is one focused page, and that scaffolding builds its skeleton first.

You practiced clear prompts: name the product, list the sections, ask for one file, and use placeholders. Next, you will style this skeleton using only plain language.
