Remember when building a five-page WordPress site was the bread and butter of web agencies? Those days are fading as AI tools increasingly automate the creation of simple websites. But does this spell doom for agencies, or is it simply the next phase in our evolution?
This talk charts the journey of web agencies from 2014 to today, and looks ahead to a future where AI tools like Vercel’s v0 can generate entire landing pages with a prompt. Rather than fearing this shift, we’ll explore three strategic paths for agencies to not just survive but thrive:
– Embracing complexity by focusing on custom integrations and advanced functionality beyond AI’s current capabilities
– Mastering simplicity and speed with consistent, fixed-rate services enhanced by AI tools
– Pivoting to become AI implementation specialists for your existing client base
Along with practical examples and a live demo of current AI web builders, you’ll leave with actionable strategies to position your agency for success in an increasingly AI-powered industry. The future of agencies isn’t extinction—it’s evolution.
