Rough. A focused session on where AI can help your site and business, ending in a clear list of what to do first.
I’m Andy, a web designer and developer with over twenty years of building for the web. I use the latest AI to build faster and explore further, then bring the judgement that only comes with experience. Every site is guided, checked and looked after by me.
AI can build a website in minutes. It takes a person to build one worth keeping.
AI does the heavy lifting. I do the judgement.
Anyone can generate a website now. Very few are worth remembering. After more than twenty years of building for the web, I know what separates the two, and I use the newest AI tools to reach it sooner.
StillHuman Design is one person. I plan, design, build and look after your site myself, so the result is shaped by experience, not just a prompt.

How it works
AI is fast.People are accountable.
Every project moves through the same six steps. At each one, AI does what it is good at, and I do what only a person can.
Brief
Start with a conversation, not a prompt.
AI
Turns your notes, competitors and goals into a tight written brief to react to.
Andy
I talk to you, listen properly, and decide what the site really needs to do.
Draft
A first version in the time it used to take to agree on one.
AI
Generates layouts, copy options and starter code in minutes, so we see ideas instead of imagining them.
Andy
I pick the direction and throw away anything generic. Taste is the first filter.
Refine
Where experience earns its keep.
AI
Produces variations and quick fixes as fast as I can ask for them.
Andy
I shape the spacing, type, tone and brand by hand, until it feels like you and not like everyone.
Build
Clean code, directed by a person.
AI
Writes the repetitive parts and the first pass of tests, so more time goes where it matters.
Andy
I direct the architecture and review the work. Accessibility, speed and security stay in human hands.
Test
Checked by machines, signed off by a person.
AI
Runs checks across devices, browsers, performance and accessibility, far more often than I could alone.
Andy
I use the site the way your customers will, fix what the tools cannot see, and sign it off.
Launch and care
Live is the start, not the end.
AI
Watches uptime and security, and drafts routine updates for me to review.
Andy
I look after the site afterwards: answering questions, fixing things, advising on what to improve next.
Choose a step to see who does what.
What you can rely on
AI is a tool I use, never somewhere to hide. These are the rules I work to.
Faster, never rushed
AI takes the repetitive work off the clock, so more of your project is spent on the decisions that matter.
Unmistakably yours
Nothing ships from a template or a prompt alone. Every site is shaped around your brand, your words and your customers.
Reviewed and signed off
I review and test the work and sign off every release, backed by automated checks for accessibility, speed and security.
No black box
You will always know where AI was used, and if you would rather it was not used on your project, I will not use it.
What I do
Every project is AI-assisted and person-led, from rough to high-definition. Take a stage, or take the lot.
Refined. Layouts, type and imagery drawn for phones first, explored at AI speed and chosen by a designer with twenty years of taste.
Rendered. Fast, accessible builds on clean code. AI does the repetitive parts, I direct and review the work, and editing stays easy.
Delivered. Quick, secure hosting with daily backups, set up and monitored by me.
Kept sharp. Monthly updates, backups and security, plus AI features on your existing site where they genuinely help.

Selected work
A few recent projects, including one just for me. Click a screen to visit the live ones.
01
Thyme en Place
Private recipe book and meal planner
Save recipes from any site, plan the week and build one shopping list.
02
Silver Fern
Managed IT services, London
Managed IT and cyber security for London businesses, owned and handled under one roof.
03
Still Human Hub
Studio operations dashboard
No off-the-shelf CRM fit a one-person studio's workflow, so I built my own: pipeline, invoicing, time tracking and client comms in one place.
Questions people ask first
Is this just ChatGPT building my website?
No. AI is one of my tools, used at most steps to draft, test and speed things up. I decide what gets built, I review and test the result, and I answer for it. If AI cannot do a step well, I do it myself.
Will my site look generic?
Not with a person steering. Generic is what you get when you accept the first thing AI produces. I start from your brand and your customers, discard most of what the tools offer, and refine what is left by hand.
Does using AI make it cheaper?
It often gets us to a strong first version sooner, which leaves more of the budget for design and testing rather than routine production. I will talk it through and quote clearly before any work begins.
Who owns the site and its content?
You own your content and the finished site. I will confirm the details in writing before we start.
What happens to my business information?
I keep client information out of tools that are not suitable for it, and I am happy to talk through exactly what I use on your project.
Can you add AI to my existing website?
Yes, where it genuinely helps: smarter search, helpful chat or content tools, for example. I will tell you honestly if it will not.
What if I do not want AI used on my project?
Then I will not use it. Tell me at the start and I will build it the long way.
