Today I put Lovable to the test to see just how fast I could go from a rough sketch to a functioning landing page: fully styled, responsive, and hosted on my own custom domain. Spoiler: it took less than an hour.
🖍️ First Prompt
I started with a simple wireframe sketch, a few reference images for the visual style, and some assets I wanted to include. My first prompt was pretty direct:
Use this attached image 'PXL_20250725_080435921.MP.jpg' as a rough wireframe. Keep the style minimalistic. Have the language used on the page be in Dutch.
Have the landing page contain the following sections:
- Welkom bij Bijenherder Mark (introduction)
- Over mijn imkerij (Since when I have been a beekeeper, where I have my bees and my philosophy how I treat the bees)
Use the following images as assets on the page:
- PXL_20240509_125708558.MP.jpg - image of queen bee, can be used as image at the top of the page
- IMG_20200730_114701.jpg - bonus image of beecomb
I uploaded the files, hit "Generate," and within minutes Lovable delivered a first version. Not bad at all!
🔁 Iterating
Once the initial version is ready, Lovable makes it easy to iterate. You can invoke additional prompts or make local edits by just clicking on a part of the design and typing something like:
“Vertically align the text center, make the font bigger, and use Arial for the heading.”
Changes are rendered instantly, and you can either tweak further or roll back to a previous version. It’s fast, intuitive, and surprisingly fun.
🚀 Publishing
Lovable’s built-in publishing flow lets you deploy your project directly to their infrastructure. If you have a bit of engineering experience, you can also:
- Connect the source to a GitHub repo - it auto-syncs the solution
git clonethe repo locally and runnpm buildto generate a Vite-based distribution- Deploy it where you like: AWS S3 + Route53, Netlify, Vercel, you name it
Super straightforward.
🛡 Something about security
For me this was out of scope since I was creating a static page without user interaction. The amount of attack vectors for such a solution are very limited. When you are creating a more expansive, complicated prototype you can also do an audit using Lovable to identify Security caveats to take care of.️
✅ The Verdict
With just a sketch, a few images, and a clear idea, I went from concept to live prototype in under an hour. For non-engineers, Lovable even handles hosting and custom domains out of the box. The experience was smooth, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable.
Sure, it might not be the tool for highly complex or bespoke designs. But for quick idea-to-prototype workflows, it’s a fantastic addition to the toolkit.
