Design creatively, code conventionally.
August 31, 2026
Who needs a website builder these days? Can't we just do it ourselves with AI? Can't I just vibe code a cool site in a few minutes?
The truth is, you can ask an LLM to build you a site quickly, and it'll be pretty good — professional-looking, built on solid conventional methods, and indistinguishable from a million other sites out there.
Say that's all you want, maybe you've got a graphic from a hotshot designer to make it "pop." Throw that into the prompt and now you've got a site that works and looks great.
Now what? You find somewhere to host it, learn enough to get it indexed on Google, bolt on some analytics, and you're off and running.
The first real problem shows up when the site needs to grow. You didn't write the code, so you don't really know how to manage it. You just keep prompting and hoping the AI remembers what it already built without breaking it.
What happens when something breaks, as it inevitably will? Or a blind user can't access your site with a screen reader and threatens to sue over an inaccessible site? Or you realize you can't read your own site on your phone in sunlight because the contrast is too low? Or there's a real bug in your contact form or donation flow, and people trying to reach you — or pay you — simply can't?
Answering those questions takes a human with real software experience. At that point, you're hiring someone anyway just to fix and rebuild what already exists.
Or you hire someone who goes beyond vibe coding from day one. Someone using many of the same tools, but who structures the code for quality and maintainability, builds in accessibility from the start, and tests edge cases before a single real customer ever sees the site.
I spent twenty years as a software developer building every kind of website imaginable, long before LLMs existed. A quality website is a lot more than generated code; design, navigation, coding, testing, release management, and iteration, the cycle starting over with every new feature.
AI can do a lot of these individual tasks impressively. But it doesn't know the big picture. I do, and I started New Worlds to close that gap: building impactful, highly functional websites with an eye toward making them genuinely useful to everyone you need to reach.
You can see this in action in a recent case study on my site — a political campaign for an affordable-housing ballot measure, built in about ten days, and still actively serving the campaign right up through election day.
If your organization needs a site that's fast, accessible, and built to actually work, not just look good in a demo, let's talk.
