wcePublishing Websites

creating
Artistic, Responsive, Human‑made, and now Human‑orchestrated
Websites with interactive apps

Using AI helpers benefits customers because my work on projects is more than 10x faster.

All art, images, poetry and music on wceDesign websites are created by humans whose work is copyrighted.

Artistic websites are designed to use visual layers, color, and photos or original art as backgrounds and as content to make websites more attractive, more interesting and informative, and more fun.
Responsive websites adjust to different screen sizes and work well and look good on cell phones, tablets, and computers.
Human‑made websites are simple websites that are not “generated” but rather planned and created by a human with experience as an artist, writer, editor, and programmer who communicates with customers and organizations and collaborates to create an appropriate website.

For Human‑orchestrated websites I work in Microsoft’s free VS Code programmer’s editor and collaborate with Anthropic’s Claude Code to build websites with the same design fundamentals as the human‑made websites but with added features and apps that remember (aka database apps) and also with more finese and polish because Claude (and its accumulation of human knowledge about website and database development) knows a lot of website techniques that I don’t. I call this present time in human history, the beginning of the Great Sharing – enterprises “borrowing” all of human knowledge that has been offered to the internet, making useful tools that help humans use that collected knowledge productively, and then renting various levels of the use of those tools for small monthly fees. My first example of a website built using AI is idearound.com.

A final note about my experience working with Anthropic’s Claude Code: possibly by accident but probably by learned design, all website pages created by Claude Code are standard HTML files and are self-contained, having all code needed to display the page and interact with a user in one HTML file. On reflection, I realized that, from the point-of-view of machines, and particularly hardware and software running web servers, reading a file once is more efficient in the use of energy and machine cycles than having to read numerous files for each web page (when the file was coded by humans focused on writing code once and reusing it (including it) in multiple files. I have adopted this “one page – one read design to conserve energy” as a new part of my philosophy for designing and hosting websites.

Before experiencing the benefits of AI, for Human‑made websites, I used text and image editors, markup (HTML) and style sheet (CSS) languages, programming (Javascript, PHP), text and images to create websites the way builders use wood, cement, steel, machines and tools to create buildings ... now I’ve hired a digital robot to help out and compensate for how slowly humans like me accomplish tasks requiring writing code with all the little details just right.

Once the design is set and content added, part of the work is continous testing in different browsers and on different devices, interacting with the website to catch and fix visual or word choice errors and make sure interacting with the site is intuitive and fun on phones, tablets, and computers.

Tools: I use HTML, custom Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Bootstrap (CSS and Javascript), PHP (for inserting reuseable sections of HTML like headers and footers), and simple Javascript code to keep copyrights current, add “read more” sections, and now AI: Microsoft’s VS Code editor and Anthroic’s Sonnet and Claude Code with connections to web host databases. Building small, useful web tools, game design toys and interesting games is now easy.

Currently (beginning of September 2026), I’m working with AI on code at idearound.com to improve digital display of poetry and poetry books. All art and poetry used in wceDesign created websites is human art and poetry with human owner-creators and copyrights.
