AI writes our first drafts. People still sign them off.
Where AI assistants speed up Umbraco and Shopify builds, and where we keep a human in charge.
Most of a website build isn't novel. Document types, Liquid sections, form handlers, migration scripts and test cases follow patterns we've written hundreds of times. AI tools handle that well, which frees our developers for architecture, performance and the details clients notice.
Where AI earns its keep
ScaffoldingUmbraco document types, block components and Shopify sections generated from a spec.
PrototypingClickable concepts in days, so clients react to something real early.
MigrationThousands of legacy pages or products mapped and cleaned before import.
TestingAccessibility and regression checks that used to get cut under deadline.
The tools draft. A developer who knows the platform signs it off.
Where people stay in charge
Security, payments, data protection and anything touching a client's CRM or order processing is written and reviewed by hand. Client data never goes into tools that train on it.
The result is the same accessible, standards-compliant code we've always shipped. It just gets there sooner.
