intro
Today i'm going to explain how you can use AI to build websites which are production grade quality & ready to deploy. believe it or not using AI in process of web development can significantly decrease time you spend on coding. in this video i will give you a very oversimplified method/process to use Vercel v0 AI for web development. before we get started, remember that you will need basic coding skills like HTML, Javascript, CSS along with knowledge of NextJS, Tailwind css & shadcn.
now let's get started by first understand concept of v0,
Understanding Concept of v0
Vercel v0 generates website ui using 3 basic building blocks that is
- nextjs, which serves as primary framework
- tailwind for css designing & layouts
- shadcn for various UI elements
you need to learn & master these 3 so that you can edit & modify the code generated by v0 ai. if you think AI will handle all coding then it's a wrong way of thinking because v0 AI will give you a base ui code to work with & you have to copy it and modify it according to your needs & requirements.
Right Prompt
now let's understand how you can get more high quality output which is website ui, from text prompt. in vercel v0, you have to write a text message (or prompt in fancy words) & v0 AI will generate a UI Code based on it. it will be better if you write in details. the more detailed prompt is, the more accurate output will be. i would suggest to write & experiments with various prompt and generate atleast 10-15 ui outputs and out of those sort out the ones which are suitable for you. later you can copy-paste it into your own project to modify it.
Copy-Paste & Modify
now you have bunch of website ui designs build by AI, this is like a base code for you & next step is to modify it according to your needs & requirements. this is point where your coding skills play a very important role, you have to understand how AI has written the code & which property to modify & many other nuances so that you can build Website according to your fit. Vercel V0 use Shadcn & tailwind in all of their AI outputs of website design so you will have to work with shadcn & tailwind to modify the code along with Next JS as a web framework. v0 also produce basic html output which contains Tailwind CSS only, but i prefer to work with react & next js.
and that's it, your website is ready. it is as simple as it is.. understand the concept, use right prompt to generate high quality code & modify it as per your wish.
in this way, you can build website quickly. in fact my own blog is made with the help of vercel v0 AI in just 4 days.
let me know in the comments below what's your way of using AI in web development. see you in next, have a nice day & bye bye. and don't forget to subscribe if love tech & coding.
