Tool: Lovable (no coding needed) Time: ~35 minutes Cost: Free tier to start
Step 1: Why Not WordPress?
WordPress needs hosting, plugins, security updates, and a developer when things break. Lovable generates a real website from a text description — no code, no maintenance, no server management. You own the code and can export to GitHub anytime.
Step 2: Describe Your Site
Go to lovable.dev → New Project. Paste this prompt and customize the brackets:
Build a modern job board website for [Board Name — e.g., RemoteDesignJobs, ClimateTechCareers, LocalStartupJobs]. Pages needed: - Home: Hero section with headline "[Your Tagline — e.g., Find Remote Design Jobs at Top Startups]", a search bar with keyword and location inputs, and a "Browse Jobs" CTA. Below, show 5-6 latest job listings and a section of featured company logos. - Jobs: Job listing page with a search bar at the top and filter sidebar for category ([Engineering], [Design], [Marketing], [Operations]), job type ([Full-time], [Part-time], [Contract], [Remote]), and experience level. Each listing card shows job title, company name, location, salary range, and posting date. - Job Detail: Individual job page with company logo, job title, company name, location, salary range, job type badge, full description, requirements list, benefits list, and a prominent "Apply Now" button that opens the application form. - Post a Job: Form for employers with company name, company website, job title, category, job type, location, salary range, and full description textarea. Include pricing info for the listing. - About: What the job board is about, who it serves, and stats (jobs posted, companies hiring). - Contact: Form with name, email, and message for general inquiries. Design: Clean, functional, fast. White background with [accent color — e.g., emerald green] for buttons and highlights. Focus on readability and scan-ability. Sans-serif typography. SEO: Add proper meta titles and descriptions to every page. Include an XML sitemap, robots.txt, and JobPosting schema markup on job detail pages. Mobile responsive. Fast loading. Easy-to-scan job cards on mobile.
Checkpoint: Lovable generates a full preview with all pages in the sidebar.
