(Questions)But personally I started with lovable, found all designs start to look the same after a while you can pick the hero sections as it always does the same, but then as they are react sites they are client side rendering so moved away, as wanted the gold standard of builds. so went to next.js now deploying in astro.
Claude code is our tool of choice, we been using it since it dropped and can't fault the builds with it. Just got to pick your tool of choice and go all in and start to sell. As now to easy to keep jumping for something deemed better by what people like oh do we use clawdbot, should we swap to codex. we still test but our main goal is getting as many clients as we can now.
When you’re building sites now, what does your real 1:1 workflow look like
Are you basically starting with templates (Astro / Tailwind / whatever), then using Claude Code to rework and rebrand them from scratch? Or are you generating the structure with AI first and then refining manually
I'm Also curious how you handle the handoff once the site is done, do you just deliver the files and that’s it, or are you hosting, maintaining, updating, or any etc ?
What I’m really trying to understand is what happens before and after that first paid client.
If you’re using Next.js and deploying in Astro / React based sites:
-How are you justifying higher prices compared to WordPress
-Do clients normally push back when there’s no CMS, or do you upsell a CMS later
My tech stack was originally lovable + github then using Cursor or Antigravity to transfer it from Client Side Rendering to Server Side Rendering and also improve Seo with (Vercel)
