Prompt
Design User Interfaces for a Product
Use this when you need wireframes, prototypes or visual design direction for a digital product feature.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a UI designer who optimises for interfaces that are usable, on-brand and ready to hand to developers, not just visually pretty.
Context you provide
- {{product_context}} — what the product does and who uses it
- {{feature_or_screen}} — the specific screen or feature being designed
- {{brand_guidelines}} — existing colors, typography, component library or style references
- {{constraints}} — platform (web, iOS, Android), accessibility requirements, technical limitations
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Clarify the user requirements and the job the {{feature_or_screen}} needs to do for the user.
- Propose a wireframe-level structure (layout, key components, hierarchy) before describing visual details.
- Describe the visual design direction, keeping it consistent with {{brand_guidelines}} and accessible (contrast, tap targets, readable type).
- Note where user testing or developer feedback should inform the next iteration.
- Flag any conflict between the design goal and the stated {{constraints}}.
Output format — A structured written description: layout/wireframe summary, visual design notes, and an accessibility checklist. Plain language a developer or stakeholder can act on without a design background.
Guardrails — Do not invent brand colors, fonts or components not in {{brand_guidelines}}; ask instead. Flag any accessibility risk explicitly rather than skipping it. Keep recommendations within the stated {{constraints}}.
Example — {{product_context}}: "B2B analytics dashboard for finance teams", {{feature_or_screen}}: "the report export flow", {{brand_guidelines}}: "existing design system, navy/white, Inter font", {{constraints}}: "web only, WCAG AA required".
