Is vibe coding polyester?
I tested 4 AI website builders on a real charity build this month, Google Stitch, Bolt.new, Lovable and Duda Vibe. Same brief, same brand guide, same three-journey structure, every time.
Bolt failed in 5 minutes. Stitch struggled without proper document support. Lovable was genuinely strong, best of the pure AI tools. Duda Vibe gave the best output of the four, but burned an entire month of AI credits doing it.
What actually shipped? Duda Editor 2.0 with Copilot for the structural pass, then my own hands on the finish. Saved 3 to 4 hours versus building the scaffold manually, credits to spare.
AI assists, humans lead. From strategy through to design, content and SEO, it's hands-on all the way.
