A Freelancer’s Adventure in Website Building

It was 2:00 a.m. The WordPress backend glared at me through the screen. As a freelance graphic designer, I had just landed a UI project with a big multinational client. But there was a catch — they needed my portfolio website live in three days. I had spent hours wrestling with the layout. Changing the font size seemed to throw the entire mobile version into chaos. My mind buzzed with anxiety, questions, and frustration.

That’s when a random YouTube ad interrupted my chaos: “Create a professional website in 60 seconds. AI designer on standby 24/7.” The product? Wegic.

Curious and half-desperate, I clicked.

The Shock of the First Attempt

The Wegic Pricing Page was the first thing I checked out. Two options: Starter at $39.9/month and Premium at $69.9/month. Both seemed affordable for someone like me—especially if this thing actually worked.

I signed up with Gmail, and right away, a chat box popped up: “Hi, I am your AI designer. What style of website do you want?” No long tutorials, no intimidating dashboards. I casually typed: “Minimalist portfolio, showcasing UI and illustrations, bilingual (English and German).”

Thirty seconds later, my jaw dropped. The website appeared with:

• A dark gray background highlighting the thumbnails of my work
• Hover animations revealing project descriptions
• A dynamic gallery and project categories

It was everything I had tried to achieve on Framer for hours, and failed.

What’s even more impressive, when I typed, “Change the title font to something handwritten.” Boom—five font choices appeared instantly. It even adjusted the mobile layout simultaneously. This wasn’t a builder—it was a design partner.

Surprising Deep Experience

The next day during the client demonstration, they suddenly requested to add a “project process mind map.” I typed into the Wegic dialog box: “Add an interactive mind map module on the case details page.” 10 seconds later, there added a clickable expand/collapse flowchart feature—this originally would have required two days of front-end development work.

Over the next week, I dove in deeper.

I learned that Wegic wasn’t just fast—it was smart. The AI can Auto-sync content updates across all pages: when I connected the personal blog RSS link, the website automatically synchronized the latest articles to the “Design Essays” section, accompanied by AI-generated summary illustrations.

Apart from that, Wegic’s AI can:

• Suggest better structure based on my goals
• Offer analytics and SEO tips right in the editor
• Let me serve visitors via an AI avatar (what?! yes.)

And it wasn’t just about pretty websites. It supported custom domains, unlimited pages, SSL hosting, and even Google Analytics integration.

The best part? I didn’t feel like I was “editing a site”—I was having a conversation with a designer who just happened to live in the cloud.

After a Month With Wegic: Real Feelings

One month in, here’s how I’d sum up Wegic:

✅ Compared to Wix & Webflow:

• Wix: modifying Wix templates is like assembling Lego bricks; changing the position of a button can ruin the entire layout
• Webflow: although it offers high flexibility, its learning curve is comparable to Photoshop
• Wegic:

•  wins on speed: No bloated UI or lag. It’s just: idea → AI chat → done.
• Better learning curve: Wix and Webflow took me hours to figure out. Wegic felt natural in minutes.
• Like having a programmer 24/7: When a client wants a “Japanese version of the website,” after I input the command, the AI not only translates the content but also adjusts the layout according to Japanese aesthetics—the banner image changes from cool tones to cherry blossom pink, and the font changes to a slender Mincho typeface. This would require rebuilding the entire site with traditional website-building tools.

🌍 Unexpected Industry Crossover:

Two weeks after launch, my website’s daily average visits exceeded 200. One day I received an email: “Your website interaction experience is amazing! We are the Silicon Valley design community, sincerely inviting you to share your AI website building experience…” It turns out that Wegic’s built-in AI customer service Turi can automatically communicate in the visitor’s native language and recommend related works based on the conversation content. This helped me get my first international order on Upwork.

As a designer, I didn’t expect to enjoy “building” so much. I started helping my friends—photographers, language tutors, small business owners—build their own sites with Wegic.

💡 Inspiration for Future Users:

If you’re a freelancer, a solo founder, or someone in a creative field—Wegic isn’t just a tool, it’s like a silent teammate. During moments when confidence dips, it helps you stay grounded. When coding feels too complex, when design overwhelms you, or when you’re simply stuck—Wegic helps smooth out the chaos.

Now, I often tell my clients: “Building a website with Wegic is like having a free product team.” It breaks the linear process of “design-development-testing” and turns website creation into a conversational co-creation. When a friend complained about having to search through tutorials for a long time just to change an animation effect on Squarespace, I quietly shared my AI website link—wegic.ai—where all the technical details of this adventure are recorded.

Final Word

I used to think building websites meant either hiring someone or burning a weekend learning a complex platform. Now, I just talk to Wegic. You can apply to join the Wegic affiliate program here.
