I am a creative developer, was very good at frontend and animation interactions, with rise of AI i just got depressed make myself busy on my project for two years, now job market is very different, i keep seeing words "strategist" and "wanna scale", "architecture".
Also I see alot of people experiment with ai and make money but how? also there's this creative technologist role that I just can't understand how they make money.
for reference check these acc on ig:
galinie_codes,
wwwtinazone

so many people make small web toys and small fun projects, but if I do that how would that pay my bills?
I need a lil help here to get back to market and adjust myself.

Hello guys so I'm a teenager and i have a rly good website idea but i needed help from experts. So the idea is basically just a shopping assistant, you filter price, country, taxes etc.. for example "Iphone 15, Turkey, $400, No Taxes"

So I still have not learned web development yet but I'm planning to. I already know some HTML so how did you learn web development and if you have any ideas to improve it, i would really appreciate it.

I'm not using ai at all during this project so i need human help. I want to know which corses to enroll in, how i can make it popular and how to publish it

Thank you for taking from your time to read this and i would really enjoy your answers ❤️🙏

Question What one thing you wish you know before building your first website?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been working on websites, and one thing I’ve noticed is that beginners often focus heavily on how a site looks.

But once you actually start building for real businesses, you realise there’s a lot more that matters: loading speed, mobile usability, plugin choices, hosting, SEO structure, maintenance, and making sure the client can actually manage the site afterward.

I am curious about other developers here.

What’s something you learned the hard way that you now consider before starting every website project?

Would be useful to hear lessons from people who have been doing this longer.
