The full story

Yes, this site was built by an AI.
No, not on its own.

Everything you see here — the design, the templates, the pages, the bilingual setup, even this very text — was built with Claude (Anthropic’s AI), Elementor and WordPress, in less than a day of work. Not a throwaway mockup: the real site, in production, the one you’re reading right now.

What Claude did

Pretty much everything, honestly.

The audit of the old site, the mockups, the palette and the typography, the logo redrawn as a vector, the header, footer and project templates, the pages, the bilingual configuration, the contact form, and a good dozen fixes along the way. Marc set the direction, validated and published — Claude executed, suggested, corrected.
The limits (because there are some)

An AI gets things wrong with great confidence.

Let’s be honest: Claude writes fast, but someone has to proofread behind it. The texts on this site will be reviewed by a human — some already have been, others are waiting their turn. The AI doesn’t know your customers, doesn’t feel your market, and won’t notice that a phrase “rings false” for your crowd. It can also paint itself into a technical corner and present the result with perfect confidence.
In other words: the AI does the heavy lifting, but a human keeps the wheel. Without someone who can tell when things go off the rails — and who owns the decisions — you don’t have a website, you have a confident draft.
The verdict

For the price, it can't be beat.

A site redesign like this one, done the old way, means weeks of lead time and several thousand dollars. Here: less than a day, a fraction of the cost, and a result we’re not ashamed to show — you’re looking at it. It’s not magic, it needs supervision, but the cost-to-value ratio is frankly hard to ignore.
Marc’s takeaway: AI doesn’t replace judgment, it multiplies time. And for a small business, that changes everything.
