I Built a $50K Website With Claude and Codex

<p>A year ago, I estimate this website would have cost me $50,000. I built it in one weekend with Claude and Codex, using no human production team — and a few thousand dollars in AI credits and tokens.</p><p>This is not a step-by-step coding tutorial. In 5 minutes I break down why asking AI to &quot;build me a better website&quot; is not enough, and what I actually did instead: fed it raw files, had it build me an accept-or-reject board so I could approve or reject every image, video, and graphic, then directed the result. I cover where Codex and Claude each performed best, how I handed work back and forth between them when one got stuck, and how Vercel and Cloudflare fit into the finished site.</p><p>The real advantage is not a single AI tool. It is your ability to think, communicate, make creative decisions, and direct the tools toward a clear result.</p><p>See the finished AGM website: <a href="https://agmagency.com/"><u>https://agmagency.com/</u></a></p><p>See my finished website: <a href="https://manuelsuarez.com/"><u>https://manuelsuarez.com/</u></a></p><p>Building with AI right now?
