Many fear that AI will take our jobs, and we will be living in a dystopian reality. In this article, I explore how AI has affected the web design industry &#8211; drawing upon my personal experiences.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m Luke, the director of Angelo Web Design, and I\u2019ve built websites for hundreds of small businesses in the last few years. AI has changed the way we create websites, but is it a good thing?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row blogpost_imgrow height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_middle type_default reversed stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:calc(3rem + 3rem);\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>1) AI generated content is everywhere<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of small business websites I see now use AI copywriting. Small businesses and startups tend to have a limited budget for their website, and with the advent of ChatGPT a lot of businesses see copywriting as an unnecessary expense. Data from Originality found that <\/span><b>16.6% of websites in Google Search results now use AI content<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as of May 2025 <a href=\"\/newangelosite\/#references\">[1]<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a web designer, AI copywriting has been a positive for me. It means less waiting round for content from clients, which used to delay projects in the past. Not all AI content is created equal though, and detailed prompts must be used &#8211; or the copy generated will be of poor quality. I see common errors like American spellings on UK websites, which indicates that people aren\u2019t proof-reading text before pasting it onto their website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I still recommend that clients invest in professional copywriting services for their website, if their budget allows for it. I work with several copywriters who deliver great content that stands out from generic AI text. On websites I find that \u201cless is more\u201d when it comes to text. AI-written websites tend to have long walls of text and filler, whereas human copywriters can write concisely and have more impact with fewer words. People have a short attention span, and will lose interest in a website if it looks like a novel. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ai-content-is-everywher.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"AI generated content is everywhere\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ai-content-is-everywher.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ai-content-is-everywher-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ai-content-is-everywher-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>2) Content entry tasks have become easier<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I\u2019m building a website, content entry is often a time-consuming task. Ecommerce stores can have thousands of products, and this data must be imported onto the website when it\u2019s built. ChatGPT can format a CSV file in seconds, and get all of my product data into a format that\u2019s compatible with WooCommerce or Shopify. This saves valuable time, because I don\u2019t have to spend hours messing about with spreadsheets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, AI can format plain text so it\u2019s ready for use on a webpage. It can automatically add heading tags and paragraph tags, along with hyperlinks. This means you can write an article in a document, then use AI to transform it into HTML that follows best practises for SEO. As a web designer, I\u2019ve been able to reduce the time I spend on monotonous tasks, so this is another huge positive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row blogpost_imgrow height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_middle type_default reversed stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:calc(3rem + 3rem);\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>3) The overall quality of websites has declined<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forbes reported <\/span><b>there are an estimated 1.2 billion websites as of March 2025! <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"\/newangelosite\/#references\">[2]<\/a> As the internet becomes saturated with more websites, I believe the overall quality of websites has declined. Startup businesses are now turning to instant AI website builders, which produce cookie-cutter websites. These websites are of poor quality, and rely on generic stock images and uniform-like layouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve had several new clients come to me after an AI website disaster. I take the time to get to know their business, so I can build a website that shows off its unique personality. I also ensure the website is optimised for their specific goals, such as generating more leads or appointment bookings. AI models rely on assumptions and statistical probabilities, but every business is different. In an ocean of poor-quality websites, a human created one will always rise to the top.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve always had pre-built website templates and themes, and AI website builders are another extension of this. If you\u2019re serious about growing your business online, you should always invest in professional website development services.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/quality-of-websites-declined.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"The overall quality of websites has declined\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/quality-of-websites-declined.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/quality-of-websites-declined-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/quality-of-websites-declined-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>4) Organic website traffic has decreased<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon launch, I install Google Analytics &amp; Search Console on all of my client websites. Since Google\u2019s updates and the new \u201cAI Overview\u201d section, I\u2019ve noticed a decrease in organic traffic across many websites. Entrepreneur stated that <\/span><b>Google\u2019s AI Overviews are already slashing organic traffic by as much as 64% <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"\/newangelosite\/#references\">[3]<\/a> &#8211; which is an alarming statistic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO has changed dramatically, and I\u2019ve adapted to Google\u2019s updates. Content must demonstrate Experience, Expertise, Authority and Trust to outrank competitors. I always advise my clients that SEO is an ongoing investment and not a one-off gig. I provide monthly SEO packages, where I regularly produce high-quality content that targets a wide range of keywords.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want a high volume of website traffic, it\u2019s now vital that you <\/span><b>invest in paid advertising alongside SEO<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Facebook Ads and Google Search Ads are affordable ways of increasing traffic, this reduces your reliance on organic search results and unpredictable algorithms. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row blogpost_imgrow height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_middle type_default reversed stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:calc(3rem + 3rem);\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>5) Demand for web design has increased<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NatWest reported that <\/span><b>the number of businesses operating in the UK has reached a record high<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"\/newangelosite\/#references\"> [4]<\/a> &#8211; over 5.6 million businesses are now active in the UK. When someone is starting up a new business, a professional website is often one of the first things on their list.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Angelo Web Design, <\/span><b>we\u2019ve had a record-breaking year so far<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and have seen a sharp increase in demand for our web design services. The web design industry is still thriving in 2025, despite scaremongering in the media about AI and LLMs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In March 2025,<\/span><b> internet sales accounted for 26.3% of all British retail sales<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"\/newangelosite\/#references\"> [5]<\/a>. For businesses who sell physical products, it\u2019s vital they have an online-store in combination with the traditional brick and mortar model. Building a high-performing Ecommerce website requires the help of a professional web developer. AI tools are incapable of building complex stores, and understanding the unique selling points that make a business stand out in a crowded marketplace. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/demand-for-web-design-has-increased.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Demand for web design has increased\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/demand-for-web-design-has-increased.jpg 960w, https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/demand-for-web-design-has-increased-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev.angeloecommerce.co.uk\/newangelosite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/demand-for-web-design-has-increased-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_small\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my personal experience, <\/span><b>AI has had a positive impact on the web design industry<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s made it easier for human-built websites to stand out, and outperform cheap generic websites. Content creation and content entry have become easier, and AI has helped me focus on more complex development tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As AI becomes more advanced, I believe it\u2019s important that web designers and developers keep improving their skillset. This will help you produce visually stunning websites that drive real results for businesses. The website market has become more saturated, but the cream always rises to the top.<\/span><b> Don\u2019t get drawn in by the media doom and gloom about AI<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, take time to research Large Language Models and how they actually work. They are flawed systems that often spread mis-information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you for reading!
