What Are Build Stacks?

Build Stacks are pre-configured AI templates that tell the Trovn AI Builder what type of website to create and how to approach the code. Think of them as blueprints — each stack gives the AI a different set of instructions about code structure, design patterns, and which features to include.

Why Build Stacks Matter

Choosing the right stack before you start building is one of the most important decisions in the build process. The stack you select directly affects three things:

1. Code Output Each stack generates a different type of code. An HTML/CSS stack produces clean semantic HTML with custom stylesheets. A Next.js stack produces React components with server-side rendering. A WordPress stack produces PHP theme files. The code structure is fundamentally different depending on your choice.

2. Design Approach Stacks influence how the AI approaches layout and visual design. A Landing Page stack focuses on conversion-oriented sections — hero, features, social proof, CTA. A Restaurant stack includes menu displays, hours, and reservation prompts. The AI tailors the design to match the purpose of the stack.

3. Features Included Different stacks come with different built-in features. Industry stacks (Restaurant, Law Firm, Contractor) include sections specific to that business type. Conversion stacks include urgency elements and psychological triggers. Framework stacks include the technical capabilities of that framework.

The Bottom Line

Picking the right stack gives you better results, faster. Instead of prompting the AI to build everything from scratch, the stack gives it a head start with the right structure, design patterns, and features already baked in. You can always change stacks mid-build if you want to try a different approach.
