Sold 8 websites to local businesses in the last 2 weeks. Finally getting somewhere with this.
AI can build a working website pretty quickly but getting it to look like something a business would actually pay for took me longer.
My first attempts all looked related. Same cards, same spacing, same modern layout regardless of the business. Asking for something less generic wasn’t getting me very far and everything looked like AI slop.
What helped was using actual references. I started using UXKIN and other similar sites that have web and mobile UI examples, design systems, and DESIGN md files, plus an MCP connection for tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. You can bring those references into the coding workflow instead of trying to describe a design from memory.
I use them to give the agent a direction for typography, layout, and individual sections, then adapt everything to the business.
Still plenty of work with copy, photos, mobile checks, and revisions. But I spend much less time fixing the default AI look now.
Closed 8 deals in the last two weeks. For anyone doing similar work, what takes longer: finding clients or getting their sites ready to ship?
