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.
How it works
- Get your access prompt. Log in to bernard, open your site, and copy the prompt from Edit with AI (it contains a key that works for 12 hours).
- 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.
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.”
The [bracketed] parts are yours to fill in. First time? Log in to bernard → your site → Edit with AI → copy your access prompt, paste that into your AI first, then ask the above.
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.
