How I Built Interactive Comic Story Website With ChatGPT
Read‑time: about 3-5 minutes
Perfect for: anyone who wants to launch a cool little site without learning hard‑core coding.
Hey, I’m Harsh 👋—a fresh‑out‑of‑BCA digital‑marketing nerd who also loves comics. Last weekend I made a one‑page, comic‑style website called “Shakti” all by myself. No agencies, no huge tech stack—just ChatGPT and GitHub Pages. Here’s my simple, real‑life play‑by‑play so you can copy it.
1. Kick‑off the Story (ChatGPT Has My Back)
- I opened ChatGPT and typed:
"Give me an origin story for an Indian teen superhero called Shakti who controls the elements." - Boom—ChatGPT spat out a full plot in seconds.
- I tweaked it with follow‑ups like “make it hopeful” and “keep the language easy for 13‑year‑olds.”
2. Get the Art (DALL·E to the Rescue)
Prompt Example that you can used:"Comic‑book panel, Shakti blasting fire at a shadow monster, bright colors, dramatic lighting."
DALL·E gave me crazy‑good panels. I saved them as scene1.png, scene2.png, etc.
3. Build the Page (HTML in 20 Seconds)
I asked ChatGPT:"Write simple HTML for a single‑page story site. Include header, image, and paragraph sections."
It generated tidy code like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Shakti: Guardian of Elements</h1>
<section>
<img src="scene1.png" alt="Shaktis first battle">
<p>[Story text]</p>
</section>
</body>
</html>I copy‑pasted it into index.html.
4. Make It Look Cool (Quick CSS)
Next prompt:
"Minimalist CSS, comic vibe, bold headings, white text on dark background."
I dropped the CSS into styles.css. Site instantly looked like a digital comic.
It took me a multiple attempts to generate my desire style for CSS
5. Put It Online (GitHub Pages—Free!)
- New repo →
shakti. - Upload
index.html,styles.css, and images. - Settings → Pages → Branch: main, Folder: / (root).
- Wait 30 seconds → live link appears.
6. Quick SEO + Accessibility Tweaks
- Add alt text like
alt="Shakti unleashes fire". - Drop a meta description:
<meta name="description" content="Shakti – an AI‑made superhero story site, built with ChatGPT.">Use proper <h1>–<h3> hierarchy so Google understand
7. Bonus Flavour (Still No Pain)
- Sticky header + scroll‑to‑top button → ChatGPT wrote the tiny JS.
- Dark‑mode auto switch → one CSS media query:
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { … } - Lazy‑load images → just add
loading="lazy"in the<img>tags.
Each tweak took maybe 2‑3 minutes.
8. What I Learned
- One clear prompt beats 10 vague ones.
- Rename files neatly—you’ll thank yourself later.
- Don’t overthink; ask ChatGPT, test, repeat.
Try It Yourself 🚀
Seriously, if you can write a WhatsApp message, you can build a website like mine. Fire up ChatGPT, brainstorm an idea, and follow these steps. Tag me on LinkedIn when your site is live—I’d love to see it!
Happy building! ✨
