Quick share on something that’s been working extremely well for me lately.
When I vibe code websites or landing pages in Cursor, I don’t give it one big prompt anymore. That almost always leads to shortcuts, weird simplifications, and painful debugging.
Instead, I use what I call a phased approach.
The idea is simple:
- break the build into phases
- force the AI to complete one small task at a time
- review each phase locally
- fix anything small
- type “continue” and move on
This does two big things:
- you get cleaner output
- if something breaks, you know exactly which phase caused it
It’s how I’ve been getting live, working demos up in under two hours, including the teaser page we’re building for OXB.
In the comments, I’m dropping the exact prompt template I use, so you can:
- describe your idea in plain English
- paste the template under it
- generate a phased prompt you can drop straight into Cursor or any vibe coding tool
If you try it, post what you build. Would love to see how people in here use it.
