AI can speed up WordPress builds, but the creator still keeps WordPress as the client-facing CMS for content, SEO meta, and page updates.
Damn, blocking you now. Sell your shady add ons or an outdated product WordPress somewhere else. WordPress is free by the way.
10 comments? Dude, no one is using WordPress in 2026. So tell me, who's using WordPress in 2026?
Like for me, obviously. There's the emergence of AI now. AI is able to code and build websites faster than I ever could.
I don't think it's that good at design yet. I don't think you can quite get the design perfectly right, but we can build some really good WordPress websites with AI. So the way that I'm looking at things now is I'm using AI to help me build websites, but I'm still using the WordPress CMS.
Because whether you like it or not, when you build a website, there's normally a client assigned to that website that's gonna have to use it and manage it or want to manage it afterwards. And for me, there's no easier CMS than WordPress.
Don't get that confused with page builders or using Gutenberg. I'm talking about a custom built CMS using WordPress so that clients can log in. They can do their blog content, they can update their SEO meta, titles, descriptions, whatever they want.
They can update page content. There isn't a better platform on the market that can do that. So why wouldn't you use WordPress?
But I agree, we can utilise AI to make it a bit more modern.

Put this under web development / WordPress CMS: AI-assisted build speed with WordPress retained as the editable backend.
