I have tried all possible ways: skills, shuffle.dev ai editor, moonchild.ai, giving screenshots of existing sites as a sample. I don’t count Lovable or Figma html2figma plugin or figma2code plugin etc.

After burning a lot of time and endless tinkering, I have realized that the only way to speed up the process is draw on paper into the most detail you can, then redraw into figma or penpot (architects that draw more nicely, can scan images) and then to prompt a LLM (multimodal one that can ingest images).

This may lead to less sloppy design.

I have tried impeccable, jakubkrehel skills, and many others.

LLMs still put something AI-ish into design anyway, you can feel it. So first faster step with less iterations is simple drawings and design logic by hand. (There was a study that said that drawing by hand uses different brain ways than drawing with mouse - this is the reason behind artists’ use of large scale tablets and multitouch pens.)
