Create a Homepage from Scratch

Ploy builds your homepage from a curated lookbook reference, then composes it section by section in Astro and Tailwind — no template fill-ins.

How it runs

Ploy walks Create a Homepage from Scratch through 5 phases.

  1. Establish a visual identity

    Ploy searches the lookbook for references that match your industry, mood, and color palette — then locks the visual direction before writing a line of code.

  2. Apply brand theme

    Workspace brand tokens flow into the design system so every color, font, and radius is on-brand from the first paint.

  3. Build hero + above the fold

    Hero, eyebrow, headline, subhead, and primary CTA — composed and verified before any below-the-fold work begins.

  4. Build remaining sections

    Ploy composes each section one at a time — features, social proof, FAQ, CTA — verifying responsive behavior after each.

  5. Verify + ship

    Smoke test, screenshot review at multiple breakpoints, then a clean commit ready to publish.

Concrete outputs every time Ploy runs this.

You have a brand but no homepage yet. You want a one-of-one design — not a template that anyone with a Squarespace account could ship. You want production-ready code, not a Figma file you still have to hand off.

  • A production-ready homepage

    A responsive, on-brand homepage built in Astro and Tailwind, composed section by section and reviewed at every breakpoint — ready to publish, not a rough first draft.

  • A reusable design system

    Color, type, and spacing tokens plus component patterns the rest of your site inherits, so every page you build next stays consistent without redoing the work.

  • Lookbook-grounded design

    Visual direction pulled from real reference sites that match your industry and mood — a considered aesthetic, never the flat, generic look of AI defaults.
