How to Build a Job Board with AI

Before writing prompts, define the smallest useful version. Most job boards do not need a complex employer dashboard on day one.

A practical first version usually includes:

• a home page with search and featured roles
• a listings page with filters
• a job detail page
• an application form or external apply link
• an about or pricing page if you plan to charge employers

Decide who the users are:

• candidates browsing and applying
• employers posting jobs, if you want self-serve posting later
• an admin, if you want to review submissions

Then list the data for each job post. Common fields are:

• job title
• company name
• location
• remote or on-site status
• salary range
• employment type
• category or team
• description
• application URL or application form
• posted date

If you only want a curated board, you may not need sign-in at first. If employers need to submit jobs themselves, then add database and sign-in later with Supabase.

Your first prompt should read like a short spec. Be specific about pages, fields, layout, and interactions. Moremade turns a plain-language description into a live app preview and writes the source code for it.

A useful first prompt names:

• the type of site
• the pages required
• the data fields for jobs
• the filters and search behavior
• the visual style
• what should happen when someone clicks Apply

Example prompt:

Build a job board website for tech and design roles. Use a clean, simple layout with a homepage, a jobs listing page, and a job detail page. Each job should show title, company, location, remote status, salary range, employment type, category, posted date, and a short summary. Add search by keyword and filters for location, category, remote status, and employment type. On the detail page, include a full description and an Apply button. For now, make Apply open an application form page rather than an external link. Use clear typography and mobile-friendly cards and forms.

Once Moremade generates the first version, review it like a working prototype rather than a finished product. Click through the pages, inspect spacing, test the filters, and check whether the job information is easy to scan.

Make small, concrete follow-up requests instead of rewriting the whole brief. That usually produces cleaner iterations.

Three example follow-up prompts:

• "Change the listings page to a two-column layout on desktop with filters in a left sidebar and results on the right. Keep filters in a drawer on mobile."
• "Add badges for Remote, Full-time, and salary range on each job card, and make the company name and posted date less visually prominent than the title."
• "On the job detail page, move the Apply button higher, add a sticky summary panel on desktop, and show location, employment type, and salary in a compact metadata row."

If a specific element is off, use the visual inspector to point at it and describe the change. If you want to check or adjust implementation details directly, use the code view.

A static sample board is enough for design and structure, but a real board usually needs stored job data. In Moremade, Supabase is the built-in option for database, sign-in, and file storage.

Use Supabase if you need:

• employers to submit jobs
• admins to review or edit listings
• candidates to create accounts
• uploaded logos or attachments

A sensible next step is to ask for a jobs table and a simple submission flow. For example, you might ask Moremade to connect Supabase and create a form that writes new job posts to the database.

You do not need payments unless employers are paying to post. If your board is free to use, skip Stripe for now.

Add Stripe only if you want a paid posting flow, such as:

• employer chooses a posting plan
• checkout with a price you set
• employer gets access to a submission form after payment

Keep the first release simple. Search, filters, and a reliable apply flow matter more than account systems most early boards never use.

Job boards get a lot of mobile traffic, so check the small-screen experience carefully. A layout that looks fine on desktop often breaks down when filters, long titles, and forms compete for space.

Test these points:

• search input and filter controls are easy to use with thumbs
• cards do not become too tall or visually noisy
• salary, location, and remote status stay readable on narrow screens
• the Apply button is obvious on the detail page
• the application form is short and usable on mobile

If something feels cramped, ask for specific fixes. For example:

• "Reduce the vertical padding on mobile job cards and keep metadata on two compact rows."
• "Turn desktop filter chips into a slide-over filter panel on mobile."
• "Make the application form a single column on all screen sizes and increase input height for touch use."

Also test empty states. A job board needs a decent no-results message and a clear reset-filters action.

When the board works, publish it. Moremade can publish in one click to a free yourname.moremade.ai subdomain. That is useful for review, internal testing, or an early launch.

If you are on a paid plan, you can connect a custom domain. You can also buy domains inside Moremade.

A practical rollout looks like this:

• publish to a Moremade subdomain
• test the live site on desktop and mobile
• check forms, links, and page loading
• connect your custom domain when the structure is settled

Because the project is real React + Tailwind code, you can export the full source as a ZIP at any time or push it to GitHub. That matters if you want to move hosting, hand the code to a developer, or extend the project outside the editor later.

Most problems come from asking for too much in the first pass or adding systems before they are needed.

Watch for these mistakes:

• Starting with too many user types. If you begin with candidates, employers, and admins all at once, the app gets complicated quickly.
• Vague prompts. "Build a modern job board" is not enough. Name the pages, fields, and actions.
• Overbuilding payments. If no one is paying yet, do not add Stripe until the posting workflow is proven.
• Ignoring job data structure. Filters only work well if fields like location, employment type, and category are defined consistently.
• Skipping mobile review. Dense metadata and filter controls often become awkward on phones.
• Editing too much at once. Small changes are easier to validate than a full redesign every iteration.

For a first launch, aim for clarity: good search, useful filters, readable detail pages, and an apply flow that works.
