A PLAIN GUIDE
Check the work
Building websites with AI tools
A tool name does not make a website good.
Mark splits a broad request into smaller tasks, and each task has a check for done. The project structure, the approved content, and the behavior he wants have to be stated up front. He reads the result before it speaks for the business. Call (909) 443-2260.
- State the structure, the approved facts, and the behavior the page should have.
- Give the tool a small task, then check that task against what was asked.
- Correct anything that adds a policy, a promise, or a fact he did not approve.
- Review the phone layout, links, forms, menus, and the search settings he intended.
- Leave the owner a launch checklist and a work log of meaningful changes.
The service for building the site is web development.
Why ongoing work stays on one platform is in why one website platform.
When the draft added words he did not ask for
Interview material generated with AI once added approval language and business terms beyond the request. He had to correct it.
Here’s the deal. An assistant should keep the decisions already made and point out what is still missing. It should not quietly write a new policy.
What the review covers
The checks match the feature being delivered. They can include accurate wording, the layout on a phone, links, forms, navigation, basic accessibility, speed, and the search settings he intended.
Code gets a look for exposed secrets, dependencies the project does not need, and errors. He steps in where the work affects a business promise, the customer’s experience, a fact, or a need the client actually has.
What an owner can expect from a new site, including ownership, is in what to expect with a new website.
Judge the site, not the software name
AI can help organize information, draft content, and develop code. It still needs direction and a person reviewing it.
The questions that matter are whether the site works, whether it can be maintained, whether it accurately represents the business, and whether ownership and support are clear. He builds with Cursor. Clients should see those practical results rather than be asked to judge a project by technology names.
A launch checklist and a work log of meaningful changes give the owner a record. Calling the site AI-built is not, by itself, a statement about quality. Kendrick Mountain Consulting is based in Big Bear and serves San Bernardino Mountains businesses. A website in Big Bear is held to that same standard.

Questions
Does using AI mean the website is better?
No. The tools do not set the quality. Ask whether the site works, can be maintained, and accurately represents the business, and who owns and supports it.
What did Mark have to correct?
Generated interview material once added approval language and business terms he had not asked for. He removed that and kept the decisions he had already made.
What does he look at before a page goes live?
Accuracy, the phone layout, links, forms, navigation, basic accessibility, performance, and the search settings he intended. Code is also checked for exposed secrets, extra dependencies, and errors.
Will a Big Bear website project be judged by the tool?
No. A Big Bear website is judged by whether it works for that business. He is based in Big Bear and serves San Bernardino Mountains businesses. Cursor is the tool he builds with. The name is not the result.
Do I get a record of what changed?
Yes. He wants a launch checklist and a work log that shows meaningful changes, so the owner can see the work.
Want the site checked against what you asked for?
Tell Mark what the site must do and which facts are already approved. He will say how the work gets reviewed.
