How to redesign a page you don’t have the code for
Sometimes the page you want to improve is not yours to open in a code editor: a client site before the contract starts, a competitor you study, or a production page nobody has the source for. Pixel Poke lets you redesign that page in place, in your own browser tab, and take the result with you.
Where this helps
- Pitching a client: show a concrete improvement on their real site instead of a mockup.
- Studying a competitor: pull apart how their layout, spacing and type are built, and try alternatives.
- Legacy or third-party pages: propose changes to a page when the source is hard to reach.
How to do it
- Open the page in Chrome and turn on Pixel Poke.
- Select elements and change them: rewrite a headline, adjust spacing, recolor a button, move a section.
- Check the result at phone, tablet and desktop widths.
- Copy the CSS and handoff notes, or sign in with Google to save and share the page with a collaborator.
Nothing leaves your tab
Pixel Poke never writes to the site. Your changes exist only in your tab, a reload brings the original back, and page content is not sent anywhere. Work on other people’s pages stays yours.
FAQ
Can I edit a website I don’t own?
You can change how any page looks in your own browser tab with Pixel Poke. Nothing is written to the site, and a reload restores the original.
How do I show a client a redesign on their real site?
Open their site with Pixel Poke, make the changes in place, and take a screenshot or copy the CSS and notes to share.
Can I save and share my changes?
Yes. Sign in with Google (optional) to save handoffs and share a page with a collaborator.
