Building a site is free. Owning it still needs someone.
Aaron Edwards spent fifteen years on WordPress. His sister bought hosting and a domain and still could not build a site: fifty plugins preinstalled, upgrade notices everywhere. So he put her on Cloudflare Pages with a few prompts. Ten minutes, done (exhibit 1). Now she tells ChatGPT when she needs a change.
I've been in WP for over 15yrs I no longer can build a site with it. In 10mins set her up on Cloudflare Pages with a few Codex prompts. Now she can just tell ChatGPT if she needs any updates and it just does it.
Now look at who did what (exhibit 2). Who picked the host? Aaron. Who wrote the prompts that worked? Aaron. Who gets the call when the domain lapses or the contact form stops sending? Aaron. She did not get a website. She got a CTO for free, because her brother is one.
| Building it | Owning it after | |
|---|---|---|
| Before | Weeks. WordPress, Wix, Squarespace: learn the tool, configure everything. | You. |
| Now | Minutes. Describe it to Codex, Lovable, Claude. | Someone technical you happen to know. |
| Next | Answer a few questions. It goes live. | Ronic. Runs it, changes it when you ask. |
Building a site went from weeks to minutes. Owning it went from a tool to a person. Four in ten websites still sit on WordPress (chart 3). The 36 million small businesses in the US do not each have a brother who is a CTO. That is what Ronic is for. It builds the site, runs it, and changes it when you ask. You never have to find a fixer.
