What to prepare before using Repaint

You don't need to prepare anything to use Repaint. It can build a website from a single prompt. But the more context you give it, the more custom and accurate the result will be. The best thing to prepare is whatever already describes your business: an existing website, a code sample, or a clear description of what you want.

There are three common ways to get started:

• Share an existing website. Paste a URL and Repaint rebuilds it.
• Share a code sample. Bring code from another AI chatbot, like an HTML file.
• Use just a prompt. Describe what you want and let Repaint build from scratch.

These aren't mutually exclusive. For any of them, you can provide multiple sources, such as a URL plus a few screenshots, or a prompt plus brand colors and reference sites. The more you share, the less generic the result.

Starting from an existing website

If you already have a website, this is the best starting point. All you have to do is give Repaint the URL to your current website. When you share it, Repaint scrapes the page, learns about your business, and downloads your content.

From there, Repaint parses your site intelligently and acts on your instructions. You decide how much changes: it can clone your site closely, completely redesign it, or land anywhere in between. See how to import websites from other platforms.

Repaint is also effective at migrating large amounts of content over. It can transfer blog posts, services pages, and team pages so you don't have to bring everything over by hand.

Starting from a code sample

Repaint can also start from a code sample. You can copy and paste code from other AI chatbots, like an HTML file from ChatGPT or Claude. Repaint can also process code files intelligently, so you can use them as starting points, style references, or anything else.

Starting from a prompt

If you're starting fresh, all you need to prepare is a clear description. Repaint works best if it has a direction for both the content and style. So share details like who you are, what you do, and what you want the site to look like. The more specific you are, the better the result.

You can strengthen a prompt with additional references, like brand colors, logos, images, PDFs, reviews, or links to sites whose style you admire. Everything you share helps Repaint get closer to your vision.
