How I Built This Website

Here's the deal

You're looking at a website that was built entirely by an AI assistant having a conversation with a person. No HTML written by hand, no FTP uploads, no technical jargon. This page explains exactly how that process works — and if you scroll to the bottom, you can download the same prompt to give to your own AI assistant.

1 Discovery

A few questions, that's it.

You talk, I listen

What do you want?

The AI asks a few simple questions — what the site is for, what colors you like, what pages you need. No forms, no technical specs. Just describe it in plain words.

What's the website for? — Business, portfolio, event, hobby…
What should visitors see? — About page, photos, contact info…
What look do you like? — Colors, style, an example site you like
Got content ready? — Or the AI writes placeholder text for you

2 Build

A real website, on your computer, instantly.

Draft created locally

The AI writes the code

The AI creates a folder on your Desktop with a real HTML website inside. You can open it by double-clicking — it works in your browser immediately, no internet needed.

Plain HTML/CSS — Nothing fancy, nothing to install
Opens in any browser — Just double-click index.html
Placeholder content — The AI writes dummy text and images so you can see the full layout
100% offline — Nothing is uploaded until you say so

3 Review

Tweak it as many times as you like.

Stay local, stay fast

"Can we change the color?" — Done.

You tell the AI what you want changed, it edits the file on your computer, and you refresh your browser tab. That's it. No uploads, no waiting, no deployment version history.

Instant feedback — Refresh the browser to see changes
Unlimited revisions — Change fonts, colors, layout, text, anything
Zero cost — Every change is free, it's all on your machine

4 Publish

One upload, live on the internet.

Goes live

Ready? Upload once.

When you're happy, the AI uploads your site to Cloudflare Pages — a free hosting service. In a few seconds, your site is live at a real URL you can share with anyone.

One upload only — No deploying for every tiny change

Always free — Cloudflare's free tier easily covers a personal site
No credit card needed — Just a free Cloudflare account

5 You own it

The site stays on your computer forever.

Your files, your site

You have the original copy

The folder stays on your Desktop. You can edit it yourself, hand it to a friend, or ask the AI to make changes later. Future updates work the same way: edit locally, approve, upload once.

Your files never disappear — They're on your computer
Future changes — Same process: describe, review, upload
No lock-in — You can take your site anywhere

Why not just upload every time?

Every time a site is uploaded to the internet, it creates a real deployment. Doing that for every tiny change (like fixing a typo or changing a color) is slow and wasteful. By keeping all the experiments on your computer, changes are instant and free. The final upload is just a single step at the very end.
