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

All art, images, poetry and music on wceDesign websites are created by humans whose work is copyrighted. Using AI helpers to code benefits customers because my work on projects is more than 10x faster. read more

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 because the file was coded by humans focused on writing code once and reusing it by “including” it in multiple files. Because it conserves energy, I have adopted this “one page–one read design” as a part of my philosophy for designing and hosting websites. Working with AI trained to write website code, I had an opportunity to see things from a different point-of-view and learn how to broaden my design considerations to include energy use. I’m grateful for the lesson.

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: In the past I used 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 and add “read more” sections. Now with an AI helper, I use Microsoft’s free VS Code editor and Anthropic’s Claude Code using HTML, custom Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Javascript, and PHP for database apps. I use WampServer as my local testing environment with connections to local MariaDB (MySQL) 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.
