Do You Still Need a Web Developer? I Tested It
I used Claude Code to build and deploy a real website with no developer involved. Here's what actually happened, and where it does and doesn't hold up for a small business.

Latest From the Blog
Google's New AI Search Report Is Live. Here's What It Actually Tells You
Google quietly gave website owners a new lens into AI Overviews and AI Mode inside Search Console. I dug into what it actually shows, what's still missing, and whether it's worth chasing yet if you're running a business in Cairns or FNQ.
