The NEW Kimi K3 Creates Insane Web Designs

In one line. A Kimi K3 model test; the transferable meat is one prompting pattern (the style transplant) and the section-then-scale discipline — both work the same with Claude or Codex.

The process he shows

  1. Find one style image on Pinterest. He searches a style ("European style 3D relief"), opens one pin to get more in the same style, picks one. This is the style-reference discipline we already hold.
  2. Make an image pair. He drags the reference into an AI image editor (ChatGPT images, or Figma's paid "edit with prompt") and asks: "create an image exactly like this, but add a metallic texture". Result: two versions of the same image — the pair a hover-reveal effect needs.
  3. Get the page skeleton from a bought prompt. He warns that a screenshot alone cannot be recreated (the AI cannot see fonts, colors, animations). So he copies a full prompt from motionsites.ai (his own prompt shop) and tells Kimi K3: "build this".
  4. Swap in his assets. Uploads his image: "replace the video in the background with this static image, and turn the content into dark mode so the text is readable".
  5. Add the mouse hover reveal. Pastes his saved reveal-effect prompt: hovering the hero wipes from image one to image two (the mask-pair effect we already decoded from his Google AI Studio video).
  6. Restyle foreign images to match the page. Any image he wants on the page goes through the editor first: "create the same image but in the style of this one". One style across all assets.
  7. Animate a still at Kling AI. Prompt is just "animate this image". The ~10 MB video is hosted on a cloud URL and linked, not uploaded — faster for the model and the page.
  8. Scale by established style. With one or two sections fixed, he asks for whole new pages (services, pricing, download): "use the same techniques, styles, fonts, positioning we already established… do not generate any images". The style is now the contract; pages come cheap.
  9. Icon overlays + parallax. Make ~5 icons in the page style, remove their backgrounds, place them as overlay images, then "add a parallax effect to these".
  10. The app finale — a style transplant. He builds a plain ADHD to-do app ("white background, light theme, no gradients"). Then he copies a dashboard design prompt from the motionsites Apps tab and says: "I will send you a prompt that describes a different application. Ignore that. Keep the structure of the app we already created. Do not change the text, do not change the position of elements. Just take the design style — the colors, the fonts, the styles — and apply it to our design." Function and skin are separated; the skin is swapped in one prompt.

No. The two real lessons (style transplant, plain-then-skin) fit in two paragraphs; the visual effects shown are already held in the AI Studio and motionsites references.
