Make my homepage say what I do in one line
The top of your homepage is the most-read text you own - and on a lot of sites it’s a slogan, a welcome, or your business name in a nice font, none of which tells a newcomer what they’ve found. One clear line fixes it. On a bernard-hosted site, your AI writes you a few to choose from.
The prompt
“Look at the top of my homepage - the first thing people see before scrolling. Rewrite it so it says what I do and who it’s for in one clear line, no jargon. Give me two or three options to choose from before anything changes.”
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 ask in your own words, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI gives you two or three options. Pick the one that fits, press Approve, and it’s live.
Aim for what you do and who it’s for, in words a stranger gets at a glance - clarity beats cleverness here every time. Once the line lands, the natural next read is your story, so turn the about page into one with Make my about page tell a story.
Questions people ask
- What should the top of my homepage say?
- In one line, what you do and who it’s for - clear enough that a stranger gets it in three seconds. It’s the most-read text on your site and the bit AI assistants quote first. Your AI can rewrite it on a bernard site; you pick from options and approve before it goes live.
- How long should my homepage headline be?
- One line a stranger understands at a glance beats a clever phrase they have to puzzle out. Ask your AI for a few options, and approve the one that fits.
