How to Use AI for a One-Shot Blog Page Redesign and SEO Upgrade

Tools Used

Cursor

AI-first code editor

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Set Up Your Project in Cursor

Open your existing website's code, specifically the blog page you want to redesign, in an AI-first code editor like Cursor. Giving the AI the full context of your project's file structure and existing code is crucial for a successful redesign.

2

Select a Design-Focused AI Model

Within Cursor, select an AI model to perform the task. Based on the experiment in the post, Anthropic's Opus 4.5 is the recommended choice for front-end design due to its superior planning capabilities and context-aware results.

Pro Tip: Not all models are the same. Develop a habit of model switching. Use models like Opus 4.5 for front-end design and others for backend logic to get the best results for each specific task.
3

Craft a High-Level Redesign Prompt

Write a clear, goal-oriented prompt that describes the desired outcome. Avoid overly prescriptive instructions and instead phrase the request as you would to a human designer, focusing on improving visual appeal, user experience, and technical best practices.

4

Execute the Prompt

Submit your prompt to the AI within the editor. The model will then analyze your code and begin generating the redesigned page.

Prompt:
Redesign the blog page to improve both the visual appeal and user experience. Add best practices for SEO and navigation.
5

Review the AI's Execution Plan

Observe the AI's process. A key differentiator for the top-performing model (Opus 4.5) was its ability to first generate a step-by-step to-do list before writing code. This planning phase often leads to more thoughtful and comprehensive results.

6

Evaluate the Redesigned UI and UX

Once the code is generated, visually review the changes. Look for a polished UI that incorporates existing brand elements, improved UX features like hover effects or reading time estimates, and graceful handling of edge cases like missing images.

7

Verify SEO and Technical Improvements

Inspect the generated code to confirm that SEO best practices have been implemented. Check for the addition of JSON-LD structured data, breadcrumbs for navigation, semantic HTML tags, and relevant page metadata.

8

Finalize and Deploy

Make any minor final adjustments to the AI-generated code. Once you are satisfied with the new design, functionality, and technical improvements, deploy the updated page to your live website.
