Monster Web

New Monster Website Built in 12 Hours.

February 06, 20261 min read

Less than 12 hours.

That’s how long it took me to build the new Monster Systems website.

A few years ago, this would have been a two week to one month project.

Design cycles, revisions, platforms fighting me, plugins breaking, waiting on this, fixing that.

This time was different.

I used Google Gemini 3 Pro as part of my workflow and where I’m LEAST comfortable, writing code, living in the terminal, thinking through the system as a whole.

No Webflow. No WordPress. No page builders.

Just clean code, modern tooling, and a very clear vision.

This is where my design background finally meets how I like to build things now.

Fast feedback loops. Direct control. No layers between the idea and the output.

The best part?

The site is not just a website.

It’s fully connected to our CRM, our systems, and how we actually run the business. No duct tape. No manual workarounds. It all talks to each other.

That’s the real shift for me.

AI didn’t replace the work.

It compressed time.

What used to take weeks now takes focused hours, if you know what you’re building and why.

If you’re curious, take a look at the new site and let me know what you think.
