🎯 Vibe Coding Best Practices

1. Start with a Clear Vision — Define your site type, vibe, pages, and audience before prompting.
2. Break It Down — Use chained prompting: architecture → CSS → HTML → JS → review.
3. Iterate and Refine — The AI isn't perfect. Ask for improvements.
4. Focus on World-Class Polish — Always include accessibility, performance, and SEO.
