Quick Tip
The more context you give Macaly, the better the result! In your first prompt, try adding a sentence about your goal, like "My old site feels dated and I want something that looks more professional and trustworthy." This helps the AI understand exactly what you're looking for.
🎉 Congratulations!
Fantastic work! You've successfully brought your old website into the modern era. Now that your new site is live, you can easily connect your custom domain to it or ask Macaly to make any other design changes you can think of.
