BuildCast 5 - How to build websites with AI

Better AI website output, in less time, without more prompting Most people open a chat and start building. This episode flips that: interview first, spec second, build last. Pedro walks through turning ChatGPT/Claude into a "web strategist" that interviews you (7 questions max — purpose, audience, page type, sections, content, voice, design), locks the answers into an approved spec, and only then generates the HTML. Covers the anatomy of a one-page site (header, hero + CTA, body, social proof), the 4 layout rules (hierarchy, eye-sweep, white space, one focus), and the 5 page archetypes (landing, portfolio, product, event, content site) — live, building a real sales landing page from a blank prompt to an earthy, pattern-interrupt color palette. Same discipline applies well beyond websites: decks, docs, status reports, internal tools.
