Frequently asked questions
- Can generative AI build a whole website for me?
- It can produce a convincing first version fast, especially for standard layouts. What it cannot do alone is decide what the site is for, check that it works on a slow phone, secure the forms or notice what is missing. A person has to own those decisions.
- Does AI-assisted development make websites cheaper?
- It shortens the repetitive parts: boilerplate, tests, conversions and first drafts. That time can go into design, content and testing, which is where results come from. Do not expect a good site to cost nothing; expect the same effort to buy more.
- What should I check in AI-written code before I trust it?
- Run it, read it and test it. Look especially at authentication, input handling, anything touching money or personal data, and every library call, since models sometimes invent functions that do not exist. Treat generated code like code from a fast new colleague: useful and needing review.
