I did this recently for a friend and 1000% no. It wasn't easy to find a good template or edit it, and things we tried (including various builders) were a massive pain in the arse.
I asked sonnet for a site and had it right in a few minutes. I asked for changes and they just worked. It wasn't a complex site but it was drastically easier, quicker and more fun than dealing with the nuts and bolts of it all.
> Sure, that still leaves the tweaking and customization, but I feel like that's the part most people enjoy the most? Humans love decorating.
Absolutely not.
Choosing customisation? Sure!
Making the customisations? Nope. I'm sure some do, but I and many others I think just want a thing.
Just asking for some changes and seeing them was great.
- jjani 2y agoWhat did Sonnet build it on, that you ended up using it? One of the drawbacks of all frontier models (with Sonnet being the most extreme) for web dev is their strong preference for React in any kind of situation, even for Wordpress-blog equivalents where it makes no sense.
