The Big Shift in Web Creation
For years, the hardest part of building a website was technical execution. Slow development cycles, code barriers, and long timelines created bottlenecks.
AI has changed this.
Execution is no longer the limiting factor. Understanding is. The new challenge is knowing your audience, clarifying your message, and structuring the story your website needs to tell.
The future is not prompt-first. It is people first. Strategy, insight, empathy, and structure.
This was the core message of my talk AI Page Building with Drupal Canvas. It is also why Foster Interactive joined the Drupal AI Makers initiative.

They reminded the Wildlings, should they be listening, that their murderous behavior did not represent who the Realm was. The delegation stayed long enough to be seen shivering as they glanced briefly northward, then rode south, satisfied that the issue had been thoroughly acknowledged.

His casinos stripped punters of hard-earned earnings, wiped out bond holders and stock market investors, and ended as protracted, costly failures, even while it enriched Trump. ‘The money I […]
Mossad is taking advantage of deadly riots that rocked Iran this month to solicit spies through a series of social media ads. In one of history’s strangest collaborations, the Israeli intel agency has purchased the ads through an LLC owned by Atlanta-based standup comic Desi Banks. Update: This report and a September 2025 article by journalist Jack Poulson have resulted in the termination of Farsi-language recruitment ads by Israel’s Mossad assassination agency. Google has suspended the company used to purchase […]

Bureaucratic authoritarianism cannot build the party we were promised. Our movement must learn this to advance beyond the failures of broad-front left populism, towards a mass socialist party capable of liberating our class. Such a party cannot be built on personality and platitudes alone, nor can it allow debate over internal structures and party democracy […]
