What’s the Deal with AI Web Builders?

AI web builders are tools that use machine learning and other AI technologies to streamline the web design process. They promise to make web development quicker, cheaper, and accessible to even tech beginners.

So, the question lingers: Are AI web builders a threat or an opportunity?

AI Web Builders: Lots of Promise but Still New

AI web builders have loads of potential. Imagine computers designing websites, changing things up to keep with the latest trends, and maybe even getting to know what users like. The future with AI web builders is one filled with innovation and new ways of thinking about web development.

But let’s be honest. Right now, AI web builders are far from the finished product. They’re still learning, still growing, and not quite ready for prime time.

What AI Web Builders Can’t Do (Yet)

AI web builders can do some things, but they can’t do everything that human developers can. They might make a basic website, but they might miss the personal touch, the little details, and the creative ideas that a human developer can provide.

The Human Factor: Experience, Insight, and Creativity

There’s way more to building a website than just putting code together. It’s about making something that looks good, works well, and helps people. It’s about understanding what someone wants and making it happen. Right now, a real-life developer can do that better than an AI web builder. They can think, create, and understand in ways that computers can’t. The human touch still wins.

Keep an Eye on AI

That’s not to say AI web builders won’t get better. They probably will, and they might change web development in some fantastic ways. It’s exciting to become a part of and witness the revolution, but we’re not there yet. So, if you want a great website done today, talk to a human developer. They’ve got the skills, the creativity, and the understanding to make something remarkable.

Conclusion

Are AI web builders the future of web development? Maybe one day, but not just yet. It’s a thrilling time in the web development industry, and AI web builders are a part of that excitement. We’re looking forward to what the future may hold but recognizing that, for now, the human touch remains integral to building websites that truly make an impact.

Customer service is a design choice

If customer service is one of your company’s values, it shouldn’t stop at your contact form. We tend to think of customer service as a team, a department, or maybe a cheerful chatbot in the bottom-right corner of a screen. But if service is part of your brand DNA, if you pride yourself on being […]

The infrastructure of content

I’ve been thinking about websites as business assets for a long time, and I keep coming back to this: the core of any website is the content. After all, “Content sells the product; design sells the content.” So, if a website is to be valuable to a business, then the content on that site is […]

You suck at briefing. But that’s our fault.

I’m going to be very honest in this post. Most of my clients don’t understand websites and how they work (if you are a client of mine, I don’t mean you, I mean my other clients, the ones who aren’t my favourite…) – at least not from a technical perspective. It can be more difficult […]
