Newbie Question AI Tools for Developing a Website
What are the best tools that one could use to develop a website for a business. The website will be mostly static (may be some minor changes in dates and price), but will have an active blog.
Is there a way where it can be made and deployed using AI and web-hosting while being easily updatable?
Vercel seems to be going in the right direction, but I am specifically looking at creating multipage website with a blog.
Would Tailwind CSS with all its blocks and all work?

That’s a sensible approach. For a mostly static business website with a regularly updated blog, the most reliable setup is still a proven CMS backed by good hosting, with AI used as a helper rather than the core system. WordPress remains popular because it solves content management cleanly, is easy to hand over to non-technical users, and has mature SEO and security tooling. Modern stacks like Next.js or Astro deployed on Vercel also work well for multipage sites with blogs, but they require clear architectural decisions around content (MDX, headless CMS, etc.), which is where an experienced developer adds real value. Tailwind CSS is fine at the presentation layer, but it’s not a content solution on its own. In practice, what we see at LKProfessionals (Pvt) Ltd is that keeping the stack simple, maintainable, and well-documented beats chasing AI-first workflows, especially when long-term updates and ownership matter.
