Colin T. totally understand and hear what you are saying. We've heard this feedback before.
I want it to be clear that my intention is not to undermine your feelings about this or to brush those feelings under the rug - they are real, and unfortunately not as easy as you make it sound. We have it on our list.
I would say though, that one strategy around this could be less about how we created a website using an AI site builder tool, and more about setting the right expectations with the client. Instead of "hiding" that you are using an AI tool to help generate ideas faster, why not embrace it and say that you are using it to get from zero to something quicker, and that your expertise and years of experience (that I'm assuming you may have) - is what your client actually hired you for? What if using AI provides a faster, but also better end product? Enhances it? What if the Site Builder was something you invited your clients in to experience in real-time collaboration, and you showed them the millions of micro decisions you have to still make as an expert to adjust what the AI has generated?
Fold the client more into the experience.
Honestly, i do the same thing as you right now, and for some of the same reasons. These are questions I have for myself as well.
Does this highlight an insecurity of my skills? Am I undervaluing what I contribute as a whole to the project and what value the end product has?
To me this is more of an expectations issue than a relume-should-be-white-label issue.
Just my two cents, personal opinions and musings. Take them with a grain of salt or tell me to go pound pavement, whichever you prefer. Food for thought.
Appreciate your feedback! 鉁岋笍馃
