Creght may fit better when
- Your team wants to maintain pages directly
- You do not want to assemble a separate frontend and hosting workflow
- You are building a company site, landing page, or portfolio
APPROACH COMPARISON / CREGHT VS SELF-CODING
Should you code the website yourself or build it with Creght?
Compare self-coding and Creght AI website building across setup, maintenance, technical control, and team responsibilities.
Decision
Start with the decision
Choose around the work your team needs to own.
Self-Coding may fit better when
- The product needs unusual or complex application behavior
- You already have an engineering team and need full control
- The website itself is the core software product
Side by side
Detailed comparison
Compare the two approaches dimension by dimension.
| Dimension | Creght | Self-Coding |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Generate from a brief, references, and existing materials, then keep editing | Design and implement the frontend, content structure, and project setup |
| Responsive design | Responsive by default, with room for refinement | Implemented and tested by the development team |
| SEO foundations | Manage page metadata, Sitemap, and Robots with the site | Configure them in the codebase and deployment workflow |
| Hosting and HTTPS | Publishing, domains, and HTTPS managed on one platform | Choose and operate hosting, domains, certificates, and deployment |
| Ongoing changes | Edit content directly or ask AI to revise the project | Maintained by someone familiar with the code and environment |
| Technical control | AI, visual editing, and CLI-based project collaboration | The team chooses every part of the stack, architecture, and deployment |

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Start from a brief, visual references, and source material, then edit the content, layout, and images before connecting a domain and publishing.
A developer can pull the project locally with the Creght CLI. AI, visual editing, and local development can all work on the same website project.
Self-coding is usually a better fit when the website is the product itself or requires a specialized architecture, complex real-time behavior, or a fully custom engineering workflow.
