How to Request Website Changes by Email - Prompt Examples | Prime Automation Solutions

Six habits that get changes right the first time.

These apply to every request, regardless of how simple or complex. The more precise you are, the faster and cleaner the result.

Weak request vs. strong request

Same goal, very different results. The specific version gets done right the first time.

✗ Weak

"Update the website."

✓ Strong

"On the homepage, change the headline to 'Now booking spring weddings' and the hero button from 'Contact' to 'Check availability'."

✗ Weak

"Make it look better."

✓ Strong

"On the Services page, add more spacing between the sections and use our brand green (#1b4332) for the section headings."

✗ Weak

"Add my new stuff."

✓ Strong

"Add a Gallery page with the 8 photos attached to this email, and link it in the top menu right after 'Services'."

✗ Weak

"The site is broken."

✓ Strong

"The contact form on the Contact page is not sending. I submitted a test and got no email. Please fix it and send me a test confirmation."

✗ Weak

"I want a picture on the homepage."

✓ Strong

"Generate a warm, photo-realistic image of a cozy bakery interior with no text in the image, and place it as the homepage hero."

Images

We can generate photo-realistic images and place them anywhere on your site. Describe the scene, the mood, and the location on the page. Images without text in them produce the cleanest results.

Note on AI-generated images: Atmosphere and scene images work best. Requests like "a warm coffee shop interior" or "a freshly painted craftsman house" produce reliable results. Requests for images with text, logos, or identifiable people in them are harder to get right and may need manual photography instead.

A complete example email

Here is exactly what a good request looks like start to finish. Several related changes, one email.

Multi-change request Sent
To: changes@yoursite  ·  Subject: Homepage and Services updates

Hi PAS,

A few changes, all on the main site:

  1. Homepage: change the headline to “Atlanta’s 24/7 emergency plumbers” and the hero button to “Call now.”
  2. Services page: add a new section called “Water Heater Repair” below “Drain Cleaning” with one short paragraph (your wording is fine) and a relevant photo.
  3. Footer: update the phone number to (678) 555-0193 on every page.

Thanks!

What to expect when you send a request.

What can I ask for?

Anything on your site: copy edits, phone number updates, price changes, new pages, added sections, design tweaks, button colors, images (including AI-generated ones), contact form fixes, mobile layout issues, map embeds, and full page or site builds. If it shows up on a website, you can ask for it by email.

How fast will I see the change live?

Most changes go live in under 10 minutes from the time you send the email. More complex requests - new pages, full site builds, AI image generation - may take longer. You get a confirmation email with a link to the live result when the change is published.

What if I don't like the result?

Reply to the confirmation email and say what you want adjusted. Revisions on the same request don't count as a separate change against your monthly quota. Be specific about what to fix: "make the headline shorter" or "use a darker blue" gets a faster result than "it doesn't look right."

Can I send several changes at once?

Yes. A single email listing multiple edits counts as one change against your monthly quota. Number each item so nothing is missed. Keep unrelated topics - for example, a copy edit and a new page request - in separate emails so each one can be tracked and confirmed independently.

Ready to put this to work?
