What is Vibe Coding?:

Through Cursor, EliteFit is a fully AI-generated website for a fictional private gym website highlighting their membership details, amenities, and marketing values over other competitors. The website is inspired by nearby, local private gyms' website designs but with a more premium, content-friendly aesthetic using Material Design principles.

Design Process:

My initial design process was to create another private, content-friendly, private bodybuilding gym which a targeted audience of elite and professional bodybuilders, personal trainers, avid gym goers, and online influencers. After performing a quick competitive analysis, the majority of content-friendly gyms included a dark aesthetic and state-of-the-art equipment. Additional features included 24/7 access, multiple amenities, and the ability to purchase a day pass for non-members. The color palette features a subtle orange on charcoal to create the perception of an elite gym that values the commitment of their members while emphasizing their content-friendly approach through this grungy aesthetic.

How did Cursor accelerate my design process: Cursor sped up my design process by implementing code quickly from nothing. The code generated an entire website through HTML and CSS within a few minutes, that created a responsive website design that normally would take me hours to weeks, based off my coding skillset.

How did Cursor slow down my design process: It prevented myself, as a designer, from omitting a lot of my own initial concept stages. I did minimal research and brainstorming on branding and competitive analysis. Additioanlly, I did not wireframe any sketches that hindered a lot of the layout that I normally would have figured out before developing, which in the long run, would make me lose a lot of time having to refine this website design.

Final thoughts:

If I had more time, I would: experiment with Cursor from the beginning, source it more proper images, and sketch initial concepts of the branding. I believe the extra implementation throughout the design process would represent a cleaner, more believable, and human-centered website design that includes the responsiveness and functionality that Cursor generated.
