IMCode uses AI as a development tool, and a person on our team checks the result before delivery. The sites are built with Astro, without a CMS or admin panel, so later changes need technical work from us.

## What AI does and what people do

**AI**

- Helps write the texts and translations from your brief.
- Helps build the pages, which is why delivery is estimated in days.

**People**

- Confirm the facts of your brief with you.
- Check every page before launch.
- Test speed (Core Web Vitals) before launch.
- Apply your feedback and fix defects against the brief.

AI can write something that sounds right and is wrong. That is why the facts come from you, and a person reads the result before it reaches you. You review it too, in 3 feedback rounds.

## AI-assisted compared with traditional development

|  | AI-assisted (IMCode) | Traditional agency |
| --- | --- | --- |
| First draft of texts and code | Produced with AI from the brief | Written by hand |
| Time | 3 to 14 working days, depending on the package | Varies; it depends on the agency |
| Review | A person checks every page; you send 3 feedback rounds | Review by the team and the client |
| Pricing | Fixed starting prices per package | Often a custom quote or hourly billing |
| Main risk | A confident mistake in a generated text, which is why facts are checked | Longer delivery or a higher price, depending on the agency |

This is how our process differs. It is not a claim that one result is always better than the other.

## Why Astro and a static site

Astro builds each page into finished HTML before you publish it. There is no database and no admin login on the site. A visitor, and a search engine or an AI crawler, receives the content as HTML without waiting for scripts to build it.

That is a design choice. Astro is not always faster, safer or better for search than WordPress, and a well configured WordPress site can be fast too.

**Advantages**

- Fewer moving parts: no plugins to update and no admin panel to protect.
- Pages are served as ready HTML, and the content is readable without JavaScript.
- No monthly platform subscription to us. You pay for hosting and the domain.

**Disadvantages**

- You cannot edit pages yourself. We make the changes, at 50 EUR/hour after the 14 days of free fixes.
- No built-in store, booking or members area.
- A change that WordPress lets you do in a minute needs a message to us.

## Static site, WordPress or Wix

|  | Static site (IMCode) | WordPress | Wix |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Edit content yourself | No, we make the changes | Yes, from the admin panel | Yes, with the Wix editor |
| Updates and plugins | None to manage | Core, theme and plugins need updates | Handled by the platform |
| Online store or bookings | Not included | Yes, with plugins | Yes, with Wix apps |
| Cost model | One price per project, plus hosting and domain | Hosting, theme and plugins; work is billed separately | Monthly subscription |
| Best when | Content changes rarely and you want a clear, fast site | You edit often or need many plugins | You want to build and edit it yourself, quickly |

WordPress is the better choice if you will edit the site often yourself, sell online, or need functions that exist as plugins. In that case ask IMCreative, which quotes WordPress and store projects.

## Security, SEO, speed, forms, analytics and maintenance

- **Security**: No admin login and no database on the site means a smaller surface to attack. It does not make a site unhackable: hosting and your own accounts still need care.
- **SEO**: The HTML is complete and each language has its own URL. We set up Search Console with your sitemap. We do not promise rankings.
- **Speed**: Static pages are light and we test Core Web Vitals before launch. Results depend on the content, the images and the hosting too.
- **Forms**: A contact form and links to WhatsApp, phone and email are possible on a static site. How the form delivers messages is agreed in the brief.
- **Analytics**: Google Analytics 4 with Consent Mode v2 for EU sites: nothing is sent to Google until the visitor accepts.
- **Maintenance**: No mandatory plan. When you want a change, we make it and bill it by the hour.

## Questions about AI-built websites

### Is it safe to use an AI-built website for a real business?

AI writes and builds the first version, a person checks every page before launch, and you review the result in 3 feedback rounds. That does not remove the need to check the facts, which is why we ask you to confirm them.

### Why pay for this when I could build a site myself?

You can, with a site builder. What you pay for is the time and the checking: a finished site with texts and translations, tested on mobile and in light and dark mode, delivered in days at a price agreed before you pay the advance, with 14 days of free fixes after launch. If you want to build and edit it yourself, a builder like Wix may suit you better.

### Can I edit the site myself?

No. There is no admin panel. We make the changes. If you need to edit content yourself, a CMS project is quoted by IMCreative.

### Can Google Tag Manager, GA4 and a Meta Pixel work on a static site?

Technically yes, a static site can run those scripts. The packages include GA4 with Consent Mode v2 and Search Console. Other tags are checked in the brief and may change the price.

### Will the site work correctly on mobile?

We check every page on desktop and mobile before launch. We cannot test every device and browser, so if something does not match the brief, we fix it at no cost in the 14 days after launch.
