Prompting best practices
Follow these practices to get consistent, high-quality results from Impossible.1. Be specific
Include concrete details: exact text, colors, links, and structure. The agent can infer some things, but specifics reduce ambiguity.Less effective
Add a CTA button
More effective
Add a CTA button that says “Get Started” and links to /contact, using the site’s accent color
2. One task at a time (for complex changes)
For multi-part requests, consider breaking them into steps. Example:- Step 1: “Add a hero section with headline X and subtitle Y”
- Step 2: “Add three feature cards below the hero”
- Step 3: “Add a CTA section at the bottom with button linking to /signup”
3. Reference the preview
The agent sees the page you have selected. Use that context:- “Change the hero heading to X”
- “Add a section below the features”
- “Make the CTA button larger”
- “Update the second paragraph in the About section”
4. Use attachments for images
When you have specific images to use:- Attach them in the chat (upload or paste)
- Tell the agent where they go: “Use this as the hero image” or “Add this to the team section”
5. Describe design intent
If you care about layout or style, say so:- “Use a two-column layout for the features”
- “Match the spacing of the hero section”
- “Use the same font as the headings”
- “Make it responsive — stack on mobile”
6. Iterate
You don’t need to get it right in one prompt. Send a prompt, review the preview, then refine:- “Make the headline larger”
- “Change the button color to blue”
- “Add more padding between the cards”
7. Avoid vague or conflicting requests
| Less effective | More effective |
|---|---|
| Make it look better | Increase the heading size, add 32px spacing between sections, and use a darker color for the CTA button |
| Make it minimal and also add lots of animations | Keep the design minimal with subtle hover effects on the buttons |
8. For WooCommerce and Elementor
- WooCommerce: Be specific about product names, prices, coupon codes, and order IDs. See WooCommerce prompts.
- Elementor: Reference the element you want to change (e.g. “the hero heading,” “the first button”). See Elementor prompts.
Impossible uses a professional, clear tone. If you want a different style (e.g. playful, formal), you can say so in your prompt.
