Build an invitation card website purely by prompting

A user built a frontend-only invitation site with animations, images and navigation for his girlfriend, giving instructions to Cursor without touching the code.

What they did

Fabio Zapata gave Cursor a first prompt describing the page's goals, look and technical approach, and let it run console commands. The envelope animation went badly for 15–20 minutes of vague feedback. He then found a sample envelope animation online, recolored it, pasted it into the prompt, and told Cursor to build on it. After that he prompted for buttons, fonts and layout.

How it went

The site took 2–3 hours, against his estimate of 4–8 by hand. At about 90–95% done he switched to editing the code himself for wording, padding and margins, because small prompt tweaks took too long.

Worth knowing

Say explicitly that fonts, backgrounds and button styles are global, or Cursor applies them per page. It also accepted his false claim that a working feature was broken and rewrote it.
