TL;DR
- Yes, we use AI, and we’re open about it. It helps with first drafts, graphics, and checking our work.
- A human drives the AI. When your service includes approval, you confirm website content is accurate before it goes live.
- Yes, we train teams. Our AI training is for owners and small teams who have AI tools but aren’t getting real value from them.
- AI makes mistakes. Our training teaches you when to check its work.
How Webmaster For Hire Uses AI
- First drafts. AI helps us get started on content. The finished content won’t be generic AI copy. See Do You Write Website Content, or Do I Need to Provide It?
- Design. We work with AI-assisted design tools, and we tell you when we do.
- Checking our work. AI is one more set of eyes.
The human drives the AI. You know your business, so when your service includes approval, you confirm website content is accurate before it goes live. Beth Varian writes a Substack called “The Cautious Modernizer” that explains her perspective of “humans drive AI, not the other way around.”
What Webmaster For Hire Recommends
- Be wary of AI features built into website builders. For a business asset like your website, we don’t recommend them.
- Give AI your real experience. AI can organize information, but it can’t know what happens inside your business unless you tell it.
- Check its work. AI can hallucinate (make up answers that sound right). Verify anything that matters.
AI Training for Your Team
Our AI Training for Small Businesses is a live, hands-on session for 1 to 3 people. We work remotely on one computer during the session, and you keep the recording. The first session runs up to 3 hours and covers:
- Account setup for the major AI assistants.
- Custom instructions (standing directions the AI follows every time, like your tone and your business details).
- Honesty prompts to get straighter answers from the AI.
- Confidence scoring, so you know when to double-check an answer.
- Live prompting on a real business task you bring.
You leave with your accounts set up and your custom instructions installed. You also get a starter prompt library (saved instructions you can reuse) and a personalized AI reference guide for your business. More sessions are available.
Is AI Training Right for You?
- A good fit if you have AI tools but aren’t getting real value from them.
- Not a fit if you want AI to replace employees or cut headcount.
:: Common Questions ::
Do You Use AI for Design Work?
Sometimes. We work with AI-assisted design tools, and we’re transparent about it. Mostly, we use Photoshop, and occasionally Canva. The job and the deadline decide which one we use.
Is AI Training the Same as Website Training?
No. Website training teaches you to manage your own site. See Do You Offer WordPress Training for Me and My Staff?
