Why Your Claude Design Sites Look Generic (And How Relume Fixes It)
Summary
Claude Design alone produces generic, AI-looking websites due to default aesthetics, but pairing it with Relume's component library and design system export creates custom, production-ready designs in minutes—solving the consistency drift problem that plagues multi-page AI generation.
Key Takeaways
- Claude Design defaults to same fonts, spacing, and components without a design system, causing all outputs to look AI-generated and inconsistent across pages.
- Relume's 'export to Claude design' feature lets you import pre-built component libraries and style guides directly, maintaining design consistency across entire projects.
- The optimal workflow is Relume (wireframes + design system) → Claude Design (visual design) → Claude Code (implementation), avoiding credit waste and style drift.
- Generating multiple pages in Claude Design alone causes design concept drift—using Relume's component library prevents this by enforcing centralized styling rules.
- You can customize Relume's page structure in real-time before generating—add announcement bars, reorder FAQ sections, swap component types interactively.

And then with that Relume step added to the workflow, we get a nice design looking like this. We have custom assets, we have nice sections, custom interactive components like so. So, if you guys are interested in building nice designs using Claude, feel free to check out this workflow. And by the way, guys, I'd love to invite you guys to my Discord community, the Creator Network. We get together every single weekday to tal…
