Using a real-world example of redesigning a small counseling practice's website with his wife, he outlines the key ingredients: live conversation, speech-to-text transcription, solid UI infrastructure, live preview, additional context, and human judgment. He argues this approach democratizes web creation, enables genuine cross-disciplinary collaboration, and is especially valuable for nonprofits and small organizations that lack dedicated web staff. The core thesis is that AI should facilitate human creativity rather than replace it, and mouth coding represents the most participatory, inclusive design process he's experienced in years. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
