ChatGPT Prompt for Website Design Planning

What this does

Plans real sitemaps, page content outlines, and navigation logic with ChatGPT -- structural planning before visual design.

Who this is for

Anyone planning real website structure and content before visual design, not looking for a visual mockup — for the actual visual design and layout mockup, Prompt for ChatGPT Website Design covers that different, visual stage.

Example Output

Real user goals produce a sitemap genuinely organized around what visitors are actually trying to do, rather than a generic page list. The navigation logic version, given real planned content, produces menu structure that reflects real user search behavior, catching a structure that looks organized on paper but wouldn’t actually help a real visitor find things.

Tips for better results

• Start from real user goals, not just a list of pages you think you need — structure should follow what visitors are actually trying to accomplish.
• Name the real primary action for each page — content without a clear real purpose tends to be vague and less effective.
• Think about real navigation from a visitor’s perspective, not your own internal organizational logic, which often doesn’t match how visitors actually search.
• Revisit structure once real content is drafted — planning and actual content sometimes reveal a better real organization.
