I had AI build my website. Now what?

Has this happened to you too? You open Claude, ChatGPT, Bolt or maybe Lovable, and within minutes you have a beautiful-looking website in front of you. Colourful, modern, exactly what you wanted. You click "download" and… you get an index.html file. Or a single .jsx file. Or a ZIP with an entire React application.

And then comes the question: "Now what?"

You are not alone. This is one of the most common problems today for small business owners, sole traders and freelancers who want a website — but never studied programming.

What does AI actually generate?

It depends on the tool you use. Each one works a little differently:

• Claude or ChatGPT — if you ask for a simple website, you will usually get a single index.html file. Everything is inside it — styles, content and scripts. This is exactly how my own landing page was created.
• A single .jsx file — if you need something interactive like a calculator or a simple component, AI will return one React file. This cannot be opened directly in a browser — it first needs to be run through a React environment.
• A ZIP with a React application — tools like Bolt or Lovable generate an entire project at once. You get a ZIP folder containing package.json, components in .jsx or .tsx, and various config files. It is essentially a finished application — but without technical knowledge, there is nothing you can do with it as is.
• Several files — HTML + CSS + JS — sometimes AI splits the website into separate files: index.html, style.css, script.js. It works similarly to a single HTML file, but all files need to be uploaded together.
• A Next.js project — a more advanced variant of a React application. Similar situation to Bolt, but with an even more complex structure.

Each of these formats requires a slightly different approach to get it onto the internet. And this is exactly where most people get stuck.

Who are the players? (A quick overview)

To help you find your bearings:

• Claude / ChatGPT — classic AI chat tools that write code on request. The output depends on exactly what you ask for.
• Bolt (bolt.new) — a specialised AI tool by StackBlitz that generates entire web applications directly in your browser. Very popular, the output is typically a full project ready to download.
• Lovable — similar to Bolt, popular especially for building apps with a database. Output is again a full React application.
• v0 (by Vercel) — generates React + Tailwind components, aimed more at developers.
• Mally (Macally) — another AI builder; the output is usually a full React application in a ZIP.

Why "just uploading it somewhere" is not enough

People often think it is enough to send the file somewhere and you are done. Unfortunately, reality is a bit more complicated:

You need hosting and a domain. Without them, nobody will find your website. Hosting is where the website "lives", and the domain is its address (like yourcompany.com).

A static website has limits. The HTML file from AI looks great, but it cannot do anything dynamic — no contact form that actually sends emails, no content management, no login.

A React application must be built first. The .jsx files are not what gets uploaded to the server. You first need to run commands in a terminal that turn them into the final website — and without technical knowledge, that is far from trivial.

Nobody is looking after it. Who updates the texts? Who fixes the website when it stops working? Who renews the domain?

How I solve this

This is exactly the problem I am prepared for. I work with PHP and Symfony — and I have a ready-made foundation into which I can fit your AI-generated website so that it actually works.

In practice it looks like this:

1. You send me what the AI generated — whether it is index.html, a single .jsx file, a ZIP with a React application, or anything else.
2. I plug it into a Symfony foundation — adding a backend, a database and an admin panel (EasyAdmin).
3. I set up the hosting — for simple websites I like working with Wedos; I will help you create an account and get everything deployed.
4. You get a finished website — with an admin interface where you can edit texts, images or even products yourself.

The result? A website that looks exactly as the AI designed it — but actually works, can be managed, and lives on the internet.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need:

The price always depends on the scope of the project — I am happy to discuss it with you first, with no obligation.
