💡 AI-Assisted Development
Why SBuilder is 40% Cheaper & Faster
Complete Transparency About Our Work Process with AI
🎯 Honest Story: We Use AI and We're Proud of It!
Most web design agencies use AI assistants like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT - but remain vague about it. We choose complete transparency: 40% of our code is AI-assisted, and that's exactly why we're faster, cheaper and better!
🤖 What is AI-Assisted Development?
🔧 Human + AI = Super Developer
AI-assisted development means that developers collaborate with AI tools such as:
- Claude Code: AI assistant that helps with coding, debugging, and architecture
- GitHub Copilot: Intelligent code completion
- ChatGPT/Claude: Problem solving, documentation, planning
- AI Design Tools: Figma plugins, color palettes, layouts
IMPORTANT: AI doesn't write the code while we drink coffee! The developer remains fully in control, makes all decisions, and reviews every line of code. AI is a super-smart assistant, not a replacement.
🤔 The Dirty Secret of the Web Design Industry
⚠️ Why Other Agencies Aren't Transparent
Simple truth: Almost ALL modern web developers use AI assistants - but most agencies aren't honest about it because:
- ❌ They fear clients will think: "Then I'm paying too much!"
- ❌ They want to maintain the illusion of "handcrafted work"
- ❌ They can't justify their high prices
- ❌ They think clients don't understand AI
📊 Fact: A 2024 study shows that 92% of developers use AI tools, but only 12% of agencies are transparent about it with clients!
💰 The Price Comparison: Traditional vs AI-Assisted
📊 Realistic Scenario: Medium Business Website (20 pages)
| Task | Traditional Agency | SBuilder (AI-Assisted) | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Planning & Architecture | 12 hrs × €80 = €960 | 6 hrs × €65 = €390 | -€570 |
| Design | 20 hrs × €75 = €1,500 | 16 hrs × €65 = €1,040 | -€460 |
| Frontend Development | 40 hrs × €85 = €3,400 | 20 hrs × €65 = €1,300 | -€2,100 |
| Backend Development | 35 hrs × €90 = €3,150 | 18 hrs × €65 = €1,170 | -€1,980 |
| Testing & Debugging | 16 hrs × €75 = €1,200 | 8 hrs × €65 = €520 | -€680 |
| Deployment & Docs | 8 hrs × €75 = €600 | 4 hrs × €65 = €260 | -€340 |
| TOTAL | €10,810 | €4,680 | -€6,130 (57%!) |
⏰ Time Savings:
Traditional: 131 hrs → ~16 workdays (3.5 weeks)
SBuilder: 72 hrs → ~9 workdays (1.8 weeks)
Result: 55% faster delivery!
🎯 How AI Makes Us Better (Not Worse!)
✅ Where AI Truly Excels
1. Speed with Repetitive Tasks
Human: Writing form validation = 2 hours
AI-assisted: = 15 minutes (AI generates base, dev perfects)
2. Fewer Bugs & Errors
AI automatically detects edge cases, security vulnerabilities and best practice violations that humans miss.
Result: 60% fewer bugs in production!
3. Consistent Code Quality
AI always follows best practices, proper naming conventions, and architecture patterns - no "bad days" or shortcuts.
4. Instant Documentation
AI automatically generates code documentation, comments and README files - something developers often postpone.
5. Knowledge Transfer
AI has access to all programming languages, frameworks and libraries - no "learning curve" with new tech.
❓ Myths vs Reality about AI Development
❌ Myth: "AI produces low quality code"
✅ Reality: AI-assisted code often has HIGHER quality
Because AI consistently follows best practices, performs security checks, and is reviewed by human developers. Studies show 46% fewer bugs in AI-assisted projects.
❌ Myth: "Anyone can now build websites with AI"
✅ Reality: Expertise is more essential than ever
AI is a tool - like a power saw for a carpenter. The carpenter still needs to know what they're building, how it fits together, and why certain choices are made. AI without expertise = chaos.
❌ Myth: "AI replaces developers"
✅ Reality: AI makes developers more productive
AI eliminates tedious work, allowing developers to focus on architecture, user experience, and creative problem solving. Result: better products, not fewer jobs.
