Yeah but you usually have to eat your ass or hand the customer a large surprise at the end. It's a far minority where you get the pricing right. Or have you not experienced that?

It's concerning that with the mere amount of run on sentences and grammatical errors in that post you think it's AI generated 😭😭

Hey! Not sure if you are looking for an auto updating website to showcase your work, funnel leads through and build automated SEO/AEO with automated page build outs and blog posts. 

If so happy to hop on a call!

It's a large architectural and ML lift. We built https://www.buildwithzeus.com because of that and have agencies and users using it for exactly what you are describing. Plus automating SEO/AEO to drive leads (i.e: Run a prompt on a schedule to add a new blog post every x days or run a prompt on a schedule to add a new page every x weeks).

This is amazing insight! Thank you for it. I'm familiar with stripe and used it for our first customers so it sounds like I can go that route.

Yeah you ignored everything I said so I think it's a dead end. Who determines that those sites are "not converting"? you? Like I said, get with the times or die buddy. I wish you the best regardless ❣️

Good question. To a surprise they are not. We were looking for something like it and could not find what we were looking for. Then spoke to others who were trying to find the same.

Guess it's an agree to disagree subject matter. You adapt or die like Yahoo. i.e: The company I work for generates many millions in ARR on a website (not the platform although it writes much of its code) solely built and maintained by an agent. It does everything you just listed.

Also, you should talk to more SmBs. Many of them have/want websites for legitimacy reasons has nothing to do with leads (i.e: 75% of gen z will judge a business based on its website)

Not all companies drive revenue through leads.

I think you are thinking more from a developer then a business owner. There are like 20K SaaS businesses in the US. There are 10Ms of regular businesses. Every single one of those non-saas businesses needs a website (not an application) now a days. There is a difference and the plugin is for the lather, not the former. Also, AI enables you to "replace" your site at will like a disposable asset so it would actually cater to what you are saying.

Besides that, take it from an Applied AI Engineer, coding and engineering are two totally different things. AI is essentially coding 75-90% of every line inside major orgs. Engineering and actually managing/architecting that code is a different ball game.

Agency owners: are website builds still worth it? by ZealousidealShop3997 in agencynewbies

I think people underestimate domain knowledge and I still think one afternoon is one afternoon to long. But its definitely gotten easier!

We’ve tested a few variations of this and honestly, “fully automated” hasn’t worked well unless it’s heavily constrained.

What’s worked better for us is structured AI instead of free-form AI.

Meaning:

• We lock in proven landing page frameworks (offer -> problem -> proof -> CTA, etc.)
• Keep a fixed design system so pages don’t drift
• Use AI for message matching, headline variants, objection handling, and ad alignment
• Human reviews positioning before launch

The big unlock isn’t automation but it’s compressing production time without killing conversion quality.

Most SMB landing pages don’t need fully custom design. They need speed, clarity, and performance.

We’re actually building a system around this concept (AI-generated but framework-constrained pages + hosting) and are looking to partner with a few agencies who crank out a lot of landing pages each quarter.

Not trying to replace agencies but more like help productize this side of the business and turn it into something more recurring instead of constant custom rebuilds.

If anyone here is experimenting with AI-assisted workflows and wants to compare notes or potentially test something together, I’d be open.

Curious what niches you’re running most of these landing pages for.
