Can you just use AI to build a website? (Yes — but here's what happens)
Yes, you can build a website with AI now. Lovable, V0, Bolt, ChatGPT — they all let you type "build me a plumber site" and spit out something passable in a few minutes.
So why do people still pay £199 to me?
1. The 5-hour problem
Building with AI sounds like minutes. In reality it's: typing a prompt, fixing what's wrong, fixing the phone number, picking a colour, fixing the layout, adding photos, fighting the AI when it deletes your services section. Most trade owners I've spoken to who've tried it abandoned around hour 2.
2. AI builds generic
You get a website. You don't get content for that website, photos, your Google Business Profile updated, a domain pointed at it, hosting set up, or any way for customers to actually book you. AI gives you the easiest 30%; the boring 70% is still on you.
3. Done > perfect
Here's what actually works: I send you a finished site with your name on it before you've spent any time. You see it, you like it, you pay £199, you get a 5-min form, it's live in 2 days. Total time on your end: 7 minutes.
4. The 7-day refund
I'm so sure you'll like the site that I refund anyone who doesn't. So if you'd rather try AI for an afternoon — go for it. If you want it done by Wednesday, message me.
