8-bit Pixel web design

Square pixels, blinking prompts and arcade colors.

A pixel-art game studio site: click the starfield or 'PRESS START' and the hero sprite jumps for a coin, cartridge cards with their own pixel heroes that bounce on hover, a party of team sprites with health bars and a high-score newsletter.

An 8-bit 'PRESS START' screen: a blinking pixel prompt, a chunky stepped button that drops a pixel and a coin counter that ticks up.

Questions, answered

What is Specimen Design?

A free library of full website designs. Every design runs live in your browser and comes with a detailed prompt you can paste into Claude to build it. Single UI components live separately, in the components lab.

How do I use a Claude prompt to design a website?

Open any design, press “Copy Claude Prompt” and paste it into Claude. You get a complete React component with Tailwind CSS and Framer Motion that you can drop into a Next.js site.

Are the designs free to use?

Yes. All designs and code are free to use in personal and commercial projects under the MIT license.

How do I make an AI-built website not look AI-generated?

Start from a clear design language instead of defaults: a deliberate typeface pairing, a strict palette with one accent, and motion with real spring physics. Every prompt here spells those choices out.

Which design styles are included?

28 design languages, including Neo-Brutalist, Bauhaus, Swiss, Japanese Minimal, Luxury Noir, Retro 70s, Memphis, Y2K, Claymorphism, Risograph, Art Deco and 8-bit.
