Decide before the build
A mockup is the cheapest moment to change your mind. Show the direction to the team or the client while it costs a paragraph of brief, not weeks of design and code.
A website mockup generator for your next homepage. See the direction before you build.
DFIRST Website mockup is a website mockup generator that turns a description of your site into a high-fidelity design concept you can open in a browser. List the sections, colours and mood, choose an Editorial, Minimal or Bold direction, and you get one HTML page with working section links and sample items clearly labelled as examples.
- Editorial, Minimal or Bold direction
- Sample items labelled as examples
- Opens in any browser
One brief, two directions. Same sections, a different feel.
Example outlines of a MAREA homepage mockup in the Editorial and the Bold direction.
Example output
MAREA, Editorial direction
- Hero: a wide image area with “Made for the light.” set large in a serif, and one link to the collection.
- The collection: three frames in a quiet grid, each marked “Example”, with a name and a lens colour.
- The story of the light: a long column of text beside a tall image area, laid out like a magazine spread.
- Stockists: a short list of cities, marked as sample content.
- Contact: email and studio address as editable placeholders.
Sand background, navy type, one coral accent.
Example output
MAREA, Bold direction
- Hero: “Made for the light.” in huge capitals across a full coral block, with one navy button.
- The collection: each frame on its own colour tile, labelled as an example.
- The story of the light: three short statements, one per screen, in heavy type.
- Stockists: cities in a large list, marked as sample content.
- Contact: a navy footer with placeholders for email and address.
The same sections and colours, pushed louder.
How to make a website mockup with DFIRST.
Three steps. The first one starts on this page.
- 01
Describe the site
List the sections you want, the colours and the mood in the box above. Then choose a direction: Editorial, Minimal or Bold.
- 02
DFIRST designs the concept
Every section is laid out as a finished-looking page, with real type, spacing and colour. Products or stories you did not supply appear as samples, and they are labelled that way.
- 03
Compare, then build
Look at the mockup in the preview, download the HTML or generate again in another direction. Each result is saved to your Data Room, so the team can discuss it on the session board.
Made for brands. Not a blank prompt box.
Three directions to compare
Run the same brief as Editorial, Minimal and Bold. Every result is saved to your Data Room, so you can open all three and compare real pages instead of describing them in a meeting.
Honest placeholders
When the brief has no real products, prices or quotes, the mockup fills the space with samples marked as examples. Nobody mistakes a placeholder for a promise, and nothing invented slips into the live site.
Who designs with it.
Agencies and studios
Two or three homepage directions for a pitch or the first meeting with a new client.
Brand and marketing teams
A visual starting point to brief the web team or a freelancer on a redesign.
Founders
A look at how a new brand feels on a website, before choosing who builds it.
Developers
A concrete layout and colour reference to code from, instead of a written wish list.

Questions people ask.
About Website mockup and how it fits the rest of DFIRST.
What does a website mockup generator make?
This one makes a design concept of your site as a real web page: layout, type, colour and every section you describe, on one scrolling page. Because it is HTML rather than a flat image, you can open it in any browser and see how it behaves on a phone.
Which direction should I choose?
Pick Editorial if your brand tells stories and likes large type and space to breathe. Pick Minimal for a quiet page with few elements. Pick Bold for strong colour and big headlines. Not sure? Run the same brief in all three and put them side by side.
Can I make a homepage design mockup with AI and then change it?
Yes. To change the direction, edit the brief and generate again. To change details such as a heading or a colour, download the HTML and edit it in any code editor, or ask your developer to adjust it.
Is the mockup a finished website?
No. It is a single page that shows how the site could look, with sample items wherever real content is missing. There is no shop, no form that sends data and no second page: the links jump to sections of the same page. Agree on the direction here, then build the real site.
Will it use my real products and prices?
Only if you put them in the brief. The tool never invents prices, claims or reviews. Where something is missing, it shows a sample and labels it as an example. Paste in real product names and facts to see the site with your own content.
Can I turn the mockup into a landing page?
Yes. Write a focused brief for one offer and use the AI landing page generator, which builds a single page around your call to action. The mockup shows the whole site; the landing page sells one thing.
