Change the fonts
A font sets the mood of your whole site before anyone reads a word — and on most platforms, changing it means digging through theme settings or stylesheets. On a bernard-hosted site, you just ask.
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 ask in your own words, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Check the headings and body text look right on a few pages, press Approve, and it's live.
bernard sites are plain HTML and CSS — no scripts, no page builder — which is exactly what your AI edits directly. Fonts live in one stylesheet, so a single change applies everywhere at once.
And if it's one specific heading you're after rather than the whole site, you can also just click it in the workshop — see Point at exactly what you want changed.
The prompt
“Change the fonts on my site to [the font you want, or a feeling like 'warmer' or 'more modern'] — headings and body text, consistently across every page.”
The [bracketed] parts are yours to fill in. First time? Connect bernard to your AI over MCP — a one-time setup in bernard → your site → Use your own AI — then paste the prompt above.
Questions people ask
- How do I change the font on my website without knowing CSS?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, you don't need to touch CSS yourself. Tell your AI — ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini — what you want, even loosely ('something friendlier'), and it edits the stylesheet for you. Nothing goes live until you approve the preview.
- Can the AI suggest fonts if I don't know what I want?
- Yes — ask it to look at your site and propose two or three typefaces that suit your work, then pick one. It makes the change and sends you a preview link so you can see it before anything is published.
- Will changing the font break my layout?
- You'll see exactly how it looks on a preview page before anything changes. If a heading wraps oddly or text looks cramped, reject the change and ask the AI to adjust — and bernard keeps a full year of history, so anything can be put back.
