The prompt

Copy everything below into Gemini. Replace each [bracket] with your own details.

START:
I am not a tech person, so please keep everything simple and friendly, with no jargon.

Please build me a "Family HQ": a one-page website that shows my family's weekly schedule in one place. Create it as ONE complete HTML file with all the styling built in (no outside links or libraries), so I can save it and open it on my phone or computer.

Below is my family's information. Anything I left blank or wrote "none", please skip or make a sensible guess, and do not ask me lots of questions first.
ABOUT MY FAMILY:
(Replace each [bracket] with your own details. Delete any line that does not apply. First names only is fine.)

Adults: [first names, e.g. Mia and Daniel]
Child 1: [name, age or grade, school - e.g. Leo, Grade 2, Sunrise Primary School]
Child 2: [name, age or grade, school - or write "none"]
Helper or caregiver: [name and days they work - e.g. Auntie Rosa, Monday to Friday 8am-6pm - or "none"]
Grandparents or other family helping: [e.g. Grandma picks up on Fridays - or "none"]
OUR WEEKLY ROUTINE:
School hours and who does drop-off / pick-up: [e.g. Leo: school 8:30am-3:15pm. Mia drops off, Rosa picks up]

Activities for each child: [e.g. Leo: Monday piano 4pm, Wednesday swimming 5pm, Saturday soccer 10am]

Adults' fixed commitments: [e.g. Daniel works late on Thursdays, Mia has yoga on Tuesday 7pm]

Lunches: [e.g. Leo takes a packed lunch Mon/Wed/Fri, school lunch Tue/Thu]

Anything the helper must remember every day: [e.g. water bottle in the bag, homework folder signed]
DATES TO REMEMBER:
Add school holidays, special events and appointments: [e.g. Oct 14 - school closed (teacher day), Oct 31 - Halloween parade, Dec 20 to Jan 3 - winter break]
WHAT THE PAGE SHOULD CONTAIN:
1. A friendly title at the top, like "The [Family Nickname or Initial] Family HQ": [your family name]
2. "Master Week": a Monday-to-Friday grid showing everyone's day at a glance, with each child in their own colour.
3. One card for each child with a simple timeline of their day.
4. A "Helper Sheet" written in short, clear sentences that someone new could follow without any extra explanation.
5. "Key Dates": a colour-coded list of the dates I gave above.
6. A lunch plan showing which days are packed and which are ordered.
LOOK AND FEEL:
Colours I like: [e.g. soft blue and warm yellow / calm greens / pastel pink and grey]

Style: warm and calm, rounded cards, large easy-to-read text, a menu that stays at the top so I can jump to each section. It must look good on a phone screen first, then on a computer.
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED:
1. Give me the complete HTML code in one block that I can copy.
2. Then explain in 4 simple steps how to save it as a file (for example, "Family-HQ.html") and open it on my phone.
3. Finally, tell me 3 easy things I can type to change it later (for example, "make the text bigger" or "add a section for grandparents").
