AI Methodology / Web Development
Website Builder
[PROJECT_IMAGE]
The Situation
Building a website from a visual reference is a repeatable process. But it's typically treated as a bespoke creative task each time, which means every build starts from scratch, quality is inconsistent, and important steps like QA and design systems are skipped.
The Problem
No structured methodology existed for using AI to build production-quality websites systematically. Most AI-assisted builds lack a coherent design system, skip accessibility checks, and produce technically fragile output that's hard to maintain.
The Approach
Developed an 8-phase workflow -reference, discovery, pre-flight, build, design system, QA, content, ship -with defined outputs and exit criteria at each stage. Encoded the entire process as a reusable Claude Code skill so any future build starts from a proven foundation.
What I Built
The build-website skill. This portfolio site is the proof of concept -built entirely using the methodology, including a full CSS design system, WCAG AA contrast compliance across both dark and light modes, mobile-responsive navigation, and multi-page routing.
