    Design mode adds visual controls and a live preview for fine-tuning colours, typography and layout details.

What users say

Pros

  • Built and launched a small-business website on a custom domain in 20 minutes from a logo and basic business details.
  • Generates shadcn/ui React components that drop into an existing Next app without a cleanup pass.
  • Feeding UI requirements in returns a visual starting point for layout that pure code generation misses.
  • A vague prompt plus a couple of follow-ups produced a browser-extension landing page with a working download link.
  • A whole productivity tools suite was built in one day with v0 and Next.js.

Cons

  • Every submission charges credits, including generations that fail and return nothing usable.
  • Basic tasks like creating a login page fail often, even with clear, detailed prompts.
  • Refund requests are refused and reaching a real person for help takes effort.
