# Why Your Website Should Never Stop Changing — Smashing Magazine

**[Smashing Magazine](https://daily.dev/sources/smashing)** · 9 min read · 2 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

Websites peak on launch day and quietly decay afterward as messaging, design systems, and accessibility drift out of sync with the business. Pierre Burgy, building the autonomous website platform Fimo, argues the fix isn't full automation but splitting site maintenance into three buckets: rule-bound chores agents can run unattended (accessibility fixes, image optimization, broken links), taste-based decisions no one wants to delegate, and a large middle zone where the right amount of autonomy depends entirely on who is asking. The piece proposes per-task, per-person agent controls that expand as trust is earned, framing the real risk as a frozen site rather than an autonomous one.
