Add a section to my homepage
Your homepage is where nearly everyone lands, and the news that matters - the show next month, commissions reopening - deserves a spot on it, not a buried page. On a bernard-hosted site you add a section by describing it.
The prompt
“Add a new section to my homepage about [what the section is for], placed [where on the page, e.g. just below the main image], using this: [your notes or rough text].”
Signed in, Get my prompt fills in your site for you. Otherwise press Copy and fill in the [bracketed] parts. First time? Connect your AI to bernard once: Use your own AI (opens in a new tab).
How it works
- Connect bernard to your AI (once). Log in to bernard, open your site, go to Use your own AI, and paste the setup prompt into your AI to connect it - a one-time setup.
- Paste it into your AI - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use - then describe the section and where it should sit, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Check the homepage still flows well, press Approve, and it’s live.
The AI builds the section from your homepage’s existing ingredients - same fonts, same colours, same spacing - so it looks designed-in rather than bolted on. Words and images are its trade; if you give it a photo too, it’ll place that as part of the same change.
Questions people ask
- How do I add a new section to my homepage?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, describe the section to the AI you already use - ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini - and say where on the page it goes. The AI builds it to match your homepage’s existing style, and you approve a preview before it goes live.
- What sections work well on an artist’s homepage?
- A current exhibition or fair, a strip of latest work, a short ‘commissions open’ note, or a line about where to find you next - anything that answers ‘what’s happening now’. The homepage is the one page nearly everyone sees.
- What if the new section unbalances the page?
- You’ll see the whole homepage on the preview before anything is published - if it crowds the page, reject it and ask for something smaller, or a different position. Nothing changes until you press Approve.
