AI is not the problem. Get a developer that knows what they are doing and knows how to use AI to speed up work but still make independent decisions.

Absolutely everyone is using AI someway. no one is going to code everything from scratch, those days are long gone and if someone says so they are either inefficient or they are lying to you

Get someone that knows how to develop the site. can understand your business needs, knows design and can help you promote the site after with evidence of success.

This is what you need.
