How to edit your site just by talking

Editing in Frontpage is a conversation, not a control panel. A few simple habits make the agent change exactly what you intended, the first time.

In Frontpage you don't drag boxes or hunt through settings, you just describe the change you want and the agent makes it. Like any conversation, the quality of what you get back depends on what you put in. These are the habits that make editing fast and predictable.

Be specific about what and where

The agent edits the whole site, so tell it which part you mean and what should change about it. Vague requests get vague results; precise ones land on the first try.

  • Instead of "make it pop," try "make the hero headline larger and bump the CTA button to the brand color."
  • Instead of "fix the pricing," try "in the pricing section, highlight the middle tier and add a 'Most popular' label."
  • Instead of "add more," try "add a three-item FAQ below the features, using a collapsible accordion."

Point at things by clicking

Some elements are easier to point at than to describe. Click any element on the canvas and leave a comment on it directly, like "this paragraph is too long, cut it to one sentence," the way you'd mark up a design file. The agent knows exactly which element you mean.

Change the look through your design system

Colors, fonts, spacing, and corner radius are stored as your site's design tokens, so a single request updates them everywhere at once and keeps the site consistent. Ask in terms of the whole brand:

  • "Change the primary color to a deep navy."
  • "Use a serif font for headings and keep the body sans-serif."
  • "Round the corners a little more across the whole site."
  • "Add more breathing room between sections."

Because these flow through your tokens, you won't end up with one mismatched button or a heading in the wrong font, and the change propagates cleanly.

Iterate in small steps

The fastest way to a page you love is a tight loop of small, specific edits rather than one enormous brief. Change one thing, look at the result, then steer: "good, now make the spacing tighter," then "now swap the order of the last two sections." Each change is live immediately, so reacting is quick.

Create new pages and sections on demand

Editing isn't limited to one page. Ask for new pages, like "add an About page and link it in the nav," and the agent creates the page, wires up navigation, and keeps your sitemap consistent. The same goes for sections: testimonials, a logo row, a contact band, a feature grid. If it's a common marketing section, you can ask for it by name.

Ask for real functionality, not mockups

When you need a form, a booking calendar, an email signup, or a payment button, just ask. These are real, working modules: submissions reach your inbox, bookings are confirmable in one click, payments run through your own Stripe. You never have to settle for a fake placeholder.


A quick checklist

  • Name the section or click the element you mean.
  • Say what should change and, ideally, why.
  • Make design changes in brand terms so they apply site-wide.
  • Iterate in small steps and steer after each result.
  • Ask for real modules when you need functionality.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit any part of my site just by chatting?

Yes. Anything you can point at, you can change in a sentence: headlines, body copy, images, section order, colors, fonts, spacing, and even whole new pages. Name the section or click the element you mean, then say what should change.

What if the agent changes the wrong thing?

Just say so. Edits go live instantly, so you can react right away with a follow-up like 'undo that' or 'only change the hero, not the footer.' Working in small, specific steps keeps every change easy to steer or reverse.

How do I change my site's colors or fonts by talking?

Ask in brand terms, such as 'change the primary color to a deep navy' or 'use a serif font for headings.' Design choices are stored as tokens, so a single request updates them consistently across every page.

Can I add new pages and sections by chatting?

Yes. Ask for 'an About page linked in the nav' or 'a three-item FAQ below the features' and the agent creates the page or section, wires up navigation, and keeps your sitemap consistent.
