3 versions died.

    This is how we built schnellstart.ai with AI.

    Every decision. Every tool. Every version we threw out. Read it, download it, or hand it to your own AI agent and ship your own.

    What we threw out

    Three versions died.

    Every AI-built site claims to be clean. We show the ugly drafts.

    Version 1 — Neumorphic

    Looked sharp, read like a fog bank. Killed contrast and hierarchy.

    Version 2 — Playful

    Too many accents. Didn't sell anything.

    Version 3 — Editorial Swiss Grid

    What stayed: quiet type, hard edges, one accent yellow.

    What's under the hood

    What tools do you need to build a brand and website with AI?

    Our stack is one option. Lovable, v0, or Wix Studio AI work just as well — the principles are identical.

    When the market shifts

    How do you keep an AI-built website current?

    Here are the last three commits we pushed. Live from the repo.

    Day 0

    Brand kickoff. One hour, one sentence of positioning.

    Day 30

    Site live, first inquiries land.

    Day 90

    Iteration 3 locked. Site stable since.

    Today

    Weekly small PRs, monthly audit round.

      The principles that travel

      Six rules that always apply.

      Any AI tool — you have to understand these six.

      01

      Positioning in one sentence

      Who you are, for whom, why you. Not longer.

      02

      Editorial design

      Type makes the brand. Effects break it.

      03

      Three services, not ten

      Anyone offering everything sells nothing.

      04

      One CTA per page

      Two CTAs equals none. Three is a dead end.

      05

      SEO through substance

      Schema, hreflang, fast pages. No tricks.

      06

      The agent is a junior

      Clear rules in CLAUDE.md, or it guesses.

      Take it home

      Take the blueprint with you.

      Three paths depending on how deep you want to go.
