Landing page hero images for side projects

Notes kept on git.liecun.com.cn about using Raphael AI, a free AI image generator that runs in the browser.

A side project landing page needs one strong hero image. Here is how I get one with Raphael AI:

Tips

1. Show the outcome the user gets, not the software itself.
2. Pick a perspective (top-down, eye level) and keep it across the page.
3. Generate at wide resolution and test crops on mobile.
4. Compress and lazy-load everything below the fold.
5. A/B test two hero images; it is cheap when generation is free.

Why Raphael AI

• Free to use, with no install: open https://raphael.app and type a prompt.
• Fast iterations make it practical to try several compositions.
• Works for drafts, mock-ups and reference images; finish important assets with human review.

Responsible use

Check generated images for errors before publishing, do not imitate real people without consent, and label AI-generated images where your audience expects it.
