Overview
Vibe-coding websites uses AI to ship prototypes, simple web apps, and marketing pages from a clear brief, existing design constraints, and a review loop.
What it is, how it works
- Create websites and simple webapps by talking to a chatbot
- Great for prototypes and proof of concepts
- Can be used live in production
When not to use it
- Even though this promises to work without technical background, don't do this if you have no technical background.
- Don't vibe-code if you are not prepared to maintain, audit, and secure the whole thing.
- Only do this if there is clear value in what you are building. Scrap it quicklyl if it didn't turn out true.
How to get started
- Lovable seems to be the best choice right now for an end-to-end solution
- Vercel plus Claude Code is a popular choice for slightly more technical people
