I used AI to get through the blank-page work faster: layout ideas, first-pass copy, responsive code, and the boring cleanup that can eat an afternoon. That did not mean handing a business to a chatbot and hoping for the best.

The client still knew the practice, the patients, and what felt right. I took that feedback, changed the site, tested the pieces, and kept the result easy for a normal person to use on a phone.

Where it landed

By March 19, 2026, the working preview was published and ready for review and handoff work. I am keeping this one labeled as a preview because I would rather tell the truth than dress a staging link up as a full public launch.

The useful lesson was simple: AI is great at helping me make options quickly. Client work still comes down to listening, fixing what misses, and leaving behind something the owner can actually use.
