Challenge: The Writer Who Didn't Want to Write (or Pay for It)
Martine is a writer by trade. For her previous wedding planning business, she still spent thousands of dollars on a professional copywriter to refine her website's content. She knew firsthand the immense cost and time required to build a polished online presence from scratch.
Now, with a new ideaâThe Vendor Labâshe faced the same mountain. She felt the familiar sense of overwhelm. There were countless tools, a flood of information, and the daunting task of building not just a landing page, but an entire functional business with blogs, forms, SEO, and lead magnets.
She needed a way to get it all done without the five-figure price tag and the months of manual labor, even for someone who knew the industry inside and out.
The Solution: A Personal AI-Powered Assembly Line
Martine's breakthrough came from embracing a fluid, multi-tool AI approach. Instead of searching for one magic bullet, she used a combination of AI services as a personal digital assembly line, where each tool performed a specific, powerful task.
Her advice to others feeling hesitant? "Start with one." From there, she built a rapid, interconnected workflow.
Strategy and Content (ChatGPT & Claude)
Martine didn't just ask for text. She had a strategic conversation with AI. By discussing her past frustrations and mapping her ideas onto a Lean Business Model Canvas, she refined her entire concept. This process uncovered content she didn't realize she had, allowing her to repurpose an old training into a powerful lead magnet. The AI then helped write blog posts, pages, and even SEO-optimized alt-text in her authentic voice.
Code and Visuals (Google AI Studio, Image Gen, Canva)
She used Google AI Studio to generate code and create videos. For static visuals, she prompted an image generator to create unique, on-brand graphics from scratch. While text-heavy images were a challenge, the AI excelled at creating stylistic visuals that didn't exist before. It even suggested templates for her to use in Canva and Wix, dramatically speeding up the design process.
Assembly and Deployment (Firebase & Wix)
With all the assets createdâcode, text, images, and videosâshe used Firebase and Wix to assemble the final product. The AI-suggested templates provided a professional foundation, allowing her to plug in her custom-generated content and launch a complete, multi-page website in a fraction of the time it would have taken manually.
Results: A Business Built, Not Just a Page Published
By using AI as a partner, Martine bypassed the old, expensive agency model and achieved a better result, faster.
Transformation Results
"For my wedding planning business, I worked with a copywriter and spent thousands of dollars to help refine the contentâand I'm a writer. It still would have taken me longer and more money to do this than I could have done it with AI. This is writing how I would write, in my tone of voice, with very, very, very little lead." â Martine, Founder of The Vendor Lab
The final platform was a testament to the power of this new workflow. It included fully built-out pages, SEO-optimized blog posts, lead-capture forms, custom imagery, and a ready-to-deploy lead magnet. Martine didn't just publish a website; she constructed a complete, automated engine for her new business.
