Design with Stitch

15 min

Sketch the layout and visual direction of your career site before writing a line of code. Stitch is fast, opinionated, and designed for exactly this kind of brief.

You're not aiming for production-grade markup here. You're aiming for a reference image and a few words you can hand to Antigravity in step 3 so the build has a target to hit.

Open Stitch

  1. Go to stitch.google.com.
  2. Sign in with the same Google account you used for the Cloud setup.
  3. Start a new design.

Generate your first design

Paste the prompt below into Stitch as a starting point. It's deliberately specific so the first generation is close to a usable career site, not a generic landing page.

A modern personal career website for an IT student with: (1) Hero
section with name, tagline, and circular photo placeholder, (2) About
Me with short bio, (3) Projects grid with 3-4 cards showing image,
title, description, tech tags, and link, (4) Skills section with
progress bars or pill tags, (5) An FAQ section titled "Ask me about..."
with 5 questions and answers. Clean, professional, dark theme with a
blue accent color.

Generate. Stitch will give you a few variants — pick the one closest to what you imagined.

Iterate

The first generation is rarely the keeper. Refine with short, specific follow-ups:

Iterate two or three times until the layout feels right. Don't sink 30 minutes here — step 3 is where the polish actually happens.

Export and keep the tab open

  1. Click Export in Stitch.
  2. Download whatever Stitch offers (HTML, CSS, screenshots).
  3. Keep the Stitch browser tab open. You'll paste a link to it into Antigravity in step 3 so it can see what you're going for.
Don't rely on the exported code

Stitch's HTML and CSS are useful as a visual reference, but they're not the foundation you'll build on. Antigravity will write its own clean implementation against the starter template. Treat the export as a screenshot with extra metadata, not as your codebase.

Key takeaways
  • You have a visual reference for the site you want to build.
  • You iterated on a small number of focused tweaks instead of one giant prompt.
  • The Stitch tab stays open — Antigravity will look at it in step 3.
  • You did not waste time perfecting code that won't ship.
