That Vibe Coder
Learn to build professional websites and web applications using modern AI tools and deployment platforms. Master the complete development workflow from AI-assisted coding to live deployment.
Setting Expectations
If you're new to AI web development, you might think it's about replacing developers or churning out template garbage.
That's not it.
AI development is a tool that removes the tedious parts of building websites. You're not cutting corners. You're eliminating busy work so you can focus on solving actual problems.
The code is real. The websites are professional. You're just building them without spending three weeks on setup and configuration.
Market Gap
Here's the problem with web development right now.
Traditional agencies charge thousands of dollars for websites that take weeks or months to build. Most small businesses can't afford this or wait that long.
Cheap alternatives are templates you can't really iterate on. Once they're built, you're stuck. You don't know how they work or how to change them without breaking everything.
There's no good middle option. Businesses need professional websites but can't wait months or spend thousands. That's the gap AI development fills. You can build professional sites in days, not months.
Speed-to-Market
AI tools change everything about development speed.
What used to take weeks now takes hours. Here's my current workflow:
- V0.dev generates most of the code
- Component libraries (21st.dev, Aceternity) for polished UI elements
- Claude for custom logic and technical positioning
- Vercel for instant deployment
Your workflow might look different. Some people skip GitHub entirely. Some use different component libraries. The point is speed without sacrificing quality.
You're not replacing good development. You're removing the parts that waste time and have nothing to do with solving the actual problem.
The result? Websites get built faster, you can take more projects, and everyone wins.
Professional Look
The real challenge is delivering quality at speed.
Traditional development wastes weeks on setup, configuration, and boilerplate code. Most of that work adds zero value to the actual website.
Tools like 21st.dev and Aceternity provide professionally built components. These aren't cheap templates. They're production-grade UI elements designed by professionals. The result is speed without sacrificing quality. You spend time on what matters instead of reinventing the wheel.
The best part? You own the code. Need to change something next month? Do it yourself in minutes. No waiting on developers. No additional invoices. You make updates whenever you want without depending on anyone else.
Deployment Process
Traditional deployment is a nightmare. Server setup, domain configuration, SSL certificates. All this technical stuff that can take days and usually breaks twice.
Vercel makes it simple. Connect your code and you're live in 30 seconds.
Here's the process:
- Push code to Vercel
- Automatic build process
- Live site in 30 seconds
- Custom domains in 2 minutes
- SSL certificates automatic
Your client gets enterprise-level hosting without you touching a server.
No server management. No configuration files. No late-night emergency fixes. Just instant, reliable deployment every single time.
Scaling Your Agency
Once you know the process, scaling becomes easy.
Your bottleneck isn't technical skills or team size. It's just how many projects you want to handle.
The best part? No hiring developers or managing teams. Just you, the tools, and as much growth as you want.
You can deploy pages, sites, blogs, and applications to your current website in just a few prompts. Get it exactly how you want it without touching code unless you need to.
Getting Started
The tools exist. The market opportunity is huge. Traditional development is too slow and expensive for most businesses.
Start with one project. Learn the workflow. Perfect your process. Then scale from there.
What I use to build sites:
- V0.dev - Core development tool
- Vercel - Deployment (free tier available)
- Component libraries - 21st.dev, Aceternity, etc.
- Claude - Custom logic and technical work (optional but powerful)
You don't need all of these on day one. Start with V0.dev and Vercel. Add the rest as you need them.
The best time to start was six months ago. The second best time is right now.
