Build your own website

This entire site was built with AI tools — not a website builder subscription. Scroll the gallery: four completely different businesses, one way of building.

Any business · any style

Four businesses. One way of building.

Scroll — or use the dots and arrows — and the same AI toolkit morphs through four very different sites. Clean, modern, and nothing alike. We teach you to build any of them.

Start with proof

This is the site you’re on right now. Built with AI in a normal code editor — not Squarespace, not Wix. Clean, modern, fast. Directed in plain English, no developer background.

We teach you
Watch what AI can do, then learn to do it yourself. The exact build-and-deploy path is the course.

Fictional businesses for demonstration. You'll build real sites for your trade in the course — with AI in your editor, not a builder subscription.

Website builder vs your stack

Illustrative ranges — plans and prices change. The pattern doesn't: rent a cage, or own the code.

 Squarespace / Wix / WP.comWhat we teach
Website builder£15–40+/mo + annual hikes£0 builder tax — you edit code
HostingBundled — hard to leaveFree tier (e.g. Vercel) — fair-use limits apply
Custom domainOften extra on lower tiers~£10/year — you keep it
The codeLocked in their platformYours in Git — move host anytime
AI while buildingTheir upsellsYour editor + OpenRouter — pennies per session

Free hosting tiers have fair-use limits. Heavy traffic may need a paid plan later. Building with AI may use OpenRouter — the live site doesn't need an LLM to run.

How this site was built

Five steps — the same loop you'll use for a groomer, a studio, or a plumber.

  1. 01

    Describe it

    Plain English: who you serve, what you need on the page, how it should feel. AI is the fast junior — you’re the director.

  2. 02

    Build in VS Code

    Continue, Cline, or Cursor. Same stack as this site. Fix errors with AI — you don’t memorise syntax.

  3. 03

    Preview & tweak

    See it locally. Change colours, swap a section, add a form. Every edit is a file you control.

  4. 04

    Push & deploy

    GitHub → Vercel (free tier). Live on the internet. Point your domain when ready.

  5. 05

    Own it

    No builder subscription. The live site doesn’t need an LLM running — just HTML, CSS, and your content.

Tools you can own

Websites are one piece. Try samples of booking, quotes, PDFs, and more — mostly without AI — on the tool catalog.

Let us build it for you.

Same philosophy, none of the hours. Liam and Gerty build your AI, tool, or website, hand it over, and you own it outright — no agency invoice, no monthly lock-in, no fees to us to keep it running. You only pay your own AI/API costs, usually pennies. Tell us what you need and Gerty gives you an honest ballpark on the spot.

Warning

Real power. Educational use only.

What we teach you to build is genuinely powerful — uncensored assistants, agents, and automations on your own hardware. In the wrong hands, that is as dangerous as malicious code in the wrong hands. We do not teach illegal, malicious, or harmful use. You are responsible for what you deploy.
