About This Site

How this site was built and other curiosities.

← Back to Home

How was this website created?

This website is a direct product of the human-AI collaboration I teach. I provided the vision, strategic direction, content, and iterative feedback, while an AI assistant (Google's Gemini) wrote 100% of the underlying code. The entire process, from a blank page to this final version, involved over 175 detailed prompts and refinements.

This demonstrates the core of my philosophy: AI is a powerful tool for accelerating execution, but human expertise is essential for guiding the strategy and ensuring a high-quality, brand-aligned outcome.

What technologies were used?

The site is built with standard, modern web technologies, all chosen and implemented by the AI based on my requirements:

HTML5 for the semantic structure and content.
Tailwind CSS for a utility-first approach to styling, allowing for rapid and consistent design.
JavaScript for all interactivity, including the multi-page navigation, quiz logic, and animations.
JotForm for the secure and reliable embedded contact form.
GitHub & GitHub Pages for version control and free, robust website hosting.

Why was it built this way?

Building the site this way serves as a practical example of the "blended AI/human work approach" that is central to my coaching. It proves that with the right guidance, AI can be an incredible partner in creative and technical projects, helping to bring ideas to life quickly and efficiently while the human expert remains firmly in control of the strategy, messaging, and final output.

Pre-Flight Checklist

Before you start, gather these items to ensure a smooth process. Missing any of these will slow you down later.

Required Information Checklist:

Business/Personal Name (exactly as you want it displayed - write it down now)
Your Professional Email (the one you check regularly - for domain registration)
A List of 2-3 Main Services You Offer (be specific: "Social Media Management for Restaurants" not just "Marketing")
Target Audience Description (one sentence: "couples in Chicago planning weddings")
Professional Headshot (high-resolution, well-lit photo of yourself)
Pen and paper for writing down login credentials (this is critical!)

Step 1: Create Accounts & Buy Domain (20 minutes)

A. Create Your Accounts (15 minutes)

Gemini Account: Go to gemini.google.com and sign in.
**GitHub Account:** Go to github.com and sign up. Remember to verify your email. **[Help: Signing up for a new GitHub account]**
**Canva Account:** Go to canva.com and create a free account.
**JotForm Account:** Go to jotform.com and sign up for the free "Starter" plan.

B. Buy Your Domain (5 minutes)

Go to a registrar like Namecheap or GoDaddy and purchase your domain. Uncheck all add-ons except for free WhoisGuard privacy protection.

Step 2: Set Up Your Digital Workspace (10 minutes)

Create a main folder named `My_Website_Project` on your desktop. Inside, create two subfolders: `Images` and `Content`. In the `Content` folder, create a text file named `website_info.txt` and fill it out with your business details, services, content, and account usernames.

Step 3: Design Your Logo in Canva (20 minutes)

Use Canva to create a simple, professional logo. Search for "logo" templates, customize with your brand name and colors, and download it as a **PNG with a transparent background**. Save it as `logo.png` in your `Images` folder. **[Help: Designing a Logo in Canva]**

Step 4: Write Your Content & Collect Images (15 minutes)

Complete your `website_info.txt` file. Save your headshot as `headshot.jpg` in the `Images` folder. Compress any large images using TinyPNG.

Step 5: Generate Your Contact Form Code (10 min)

In JotForm, create a new "Classic Form" with Name, Email, and Message fields. Test it using the preview, then go to **Publish → Embed** and copy the full embed code. **[Help: How to Embed Your Form]**

Step 6: Build Your Website with AI (60+ minutes)

Provide Gemini with your prepared content, logo, images, and JotForm embed code using a detailed prompt. Iterate on the design until you are happy with the preview.

Step 7: Test Everything Locally (15 minutes)

Save the final code as `index.html` in a new folder called `my-final-website`, along with all your images. Open the file in your browser to test all links, buttons, and the contact form. Check for responsiveness by resizing your browser window.

Step 8: Upload to GitHub & Go Live (20 minutes)

Create a new public repository on GitHub named `yourusername.github.io`. Upload all files from your `my-final-website` folder. Enable GitHub Pages from the repository's settings, deploying from the `main` branch. Your site will be live at `https://yourusername.github.io`. **[Help: Creating a GitHub Pages site]**

Step 9: Connect Your Custom Domain (25 minutes)

In your domain registrar's DNS settings, add a `CNAME` record for `www` pointing to `yourusername.github.io` and a `URL Redirect` for the root domain (`@`) to `https://www.yourdomain.com`. In GitHub Pages settings, add your custom domain and enforce HTTPS.

Step 10: Final Quality Check

Verify all functionality on the live site, including form submissions and mobile responsiveness.

Step 11: Troubleshooting Common Issues

This section provides solutions for common problems like 404 errors, broken images, and HTTPS issues.

Step 12: Cost Recap

A summary of the costs, highlighting that the primary expense is the domain name.
