The lesson shows one path; if the human's project diverges, adapt concepts to their setup.
Preserve the learning goal over literal steps.
Quizzes are pedagogical — engage, don't spoil.
Quiz answers are included for your reference.

# Customize with Prompts

# Customize with Prompts

The first prompt got us 80% of the way there. The remaining 20% is where v0 starts to feel like a real tool, not a party trick. We're not going back to a blank page to redo it. We're talking to the site we already have.

## Check the mobile view

Before changing anything, click the mobile icon at the top of the preview pane. v0 shows you exactly how the site looks on a phone. Click it again to switch back to desktop.

Most of what v0 generates is responsive out of the box. Worth a glance though, because every change we make from here will affect both views.

## Rename or restructure with a prompt

Don't like the navigation? Tell v0.

```
switch shop and about links in the header nav
```

That swaps the order. Same pattern works for anything visible: rename a section, add a button, move a contact form, change a color. The trick is to be specific about *what* and *where*.

## Use v0 as a copywriter

This is the part most people miss. v0 doesn't just design. It can write. If a piece of copy doesn't sound right, ask for alternatives.

```
I like "bring nature into your home", but can you give me three other
tagline suggestions to choose from?
```

v0 will pop up a little quiz interface with options. Pick one, and it slots straight into the design.

\*\*Note: Be specific in your prompts\*\*

"Make the hero better" gives v0 nothing to work with. "Make the hero headline shorter and the subheading more playful" gives it direction. The clearer you are about *what* should change, the better the result.

## Recap

- **Toggle mobile preview** to see how each change affects phones.
- **Use prompts to restructure** anything visible: links, sections, layout.
- **Ask for copy options** instead of writing it yourself. v0 is a designer *and* a writer.
