State-Aware Generation of Deployable Websites from Visual Prototypes and Requirements
VisStateCoder links visual prototype elements, project files, interaction requirements and render evidence in a project state graph, then uses those links to generate websites and limit subsequent repairs to selected files.
Scope and limitations
Requires visual prototypes and textual workflow requirements. The five-model Vision2Web evaluation covers up to seven-page HTML/CSS/JavaScript sites with an optional Node.js server; larger projects and React/Vue are untested. Each configuration runs once, without variance or significance estimates. Internal repair checks do not execute interaction workflows; functional scores come from separate benchmark tests. Visual judges and incomplete tests limit conclusions about behavior, maintainability and accessibility.
Why it fits this collection
Studies visual-reference website reconstruction with explicit links between reference elements, code files and repair evidence.
