Your £500 website isn't my competition
AI has changed how we build websites. It hasn’t changed who’s buying them.
▶Play the video: Your £500 website isn't my competition“No lol. You can get a fully functioning e-com website for £500. £3,000 is insane.” Says who? Says a random scruffy bloke on TikTok.
There’s always been some new technology round the corner that’s going to change web design completely. And it does. AI has completely changed how we design and build websites. That’s 100% true.
What it hasn’t changed much is the industry. The industry still exists, and it will, because clients like mine, multi-million pound businesses, want a professional to do a professional job. They’re not handing that to a 15-year-old who’s watched a thousand TikToks and prompted his way to a homepage.
So the £500 website isn’t my competition. It’s selling something different, to somebody different.
If you’re weighing up doing it yourself, I’ve written about whether AI can build a website for your business.

No lol. You can get a fully functioning e-com website for £500. £3,000 is insane. Says who? Says you, random scruffy guy on TikTok.
There's always been a new technology just around the corner that's going to completely change the way that web design is done. And that's true. It does change web design. AI has completely changed web design. It's completely changed how we design and build websites.
That is 100% true. But it hasn't changed the industry all that much. The industry still exists and it will because clients, multi-million pound clients, the kind of people that I work with, want to hire a professional to do a professional job. They don't want to hire a 15-year-old who's watched a thousand TikTok videos to prompt their way to a website.
