In a world where speed, personalization, and intelligence are expected by default, the web design and development landscape is evolving fast. At Ask the Egghead, we’re not just keeping up—we’re leading the charge. One of the biggest reasons? Artificial Intelligence.

But let’s be clear: we don’t use AI just because it’s trendy. We use it because it helps us help you—our clients—in smarter, faster, more impactful ways. In this article, we’ll walk you through how AI integrates into our workflow and how it contributed to one recent client success story.

AI That Enhances Human Expertise

Before diving into the client story, here’s the key philosophy behind our use of AI: it’s not about replacing humans; it’s about amplifying them.

We use AI in our day-to-day operations to:

  • Speed up content and design generation

  • Improve performance and SEO automatically

  • Provide smarter, faster QA and diagnostics

  • Help clients visualize ideas early in the process

  • Offer ongoing site improvements after launch

By integrating tools like our custom AI assistant (Sasha Egghead), GPT-powered design flows, and AI-based diagnostics, we offer a level of service that’s not just cutting-edge—it’s client-first.

Real-World Example: AI in Action for a Local Fitness Brand

Let’s talk about how this looks in real life. One of our recent projects was with a growing local fitness brand—we’ll call them “Core+Studio.”

The Challenge:

Core+Studio had a dated site that wasn’t ranking well, didn’t convert traffic into leads, and had disjointed messaging. They needed:

  • A full redesign with a modern, responsive aesthetic

  • Fresh, on-brand content for all pages

  • Improved SEO performance

  • Better page speed and user experience

But like many small business owners, the client didn’t have time to write content or work through multiple rounds of copy reviews. That’s where AI stepped in.

Step 1: AI-Assisted Copy Generation

Rather than start from scratch, we used our in-house GPT workflow to draft page content in the Core+Studio brand voice. Within minutes, we generated:

  • A compelling homepage headline with a benefit-driven subhead

  • About page copy that felt authentic and local

  • Service descriptions that were clear, friendly, and conversion-focused

We sent the client this draft with a quick note: “Treat this as your starting point—edit, refine, or approve.”

They were thrilled. What could have taken weeks was completed in a day.

Step 2: AI-Powered SEO & Site Speed Optimization

Once the copy and design were in place, we used our AI-powered SEO audit tools to:

  • Optimize meta tags, titles, and descriptions

  • Generate schema markup for services and local SEO

  • Ensure every image had proper alt text and compression

At the same time, AI analyzed their page load speed and recommended improvements. With those adjustments, we shaved nearly 1.5 seconds off their homepage load time—a huge boost for conversions and mobile UX.

Step 3: Post-Launch AI Monitoring

Here’s where our AI strategy really stands out: it doesn’t stop after launch.

We set Core+Studio up on our Managed WordPress Hosting, which includes AI-driven features like:

  • Uptime monitoring with real-time alerts

  • Smart security that adapts to threats

  • Automated performance checks

In the first month post-launch, our AI tools detected that a third-party plugin update had slowed down one of their class booking pages. We fixed it proactively—before the client even noticed.

More Than a Tool—It’s a Partner
