Not clicking the link, but....

Claude and other AI tools can help you build an app if you have basic computing knowledge (vibe coding not included).

Are these new A.I. products also beneficial for creating a website?
 
I have ideas & want to avoid the "free but with a hosting charge$ thing" & this would involve a low monthly transactional / membership [& tiered] cost.  This is related to construction & maybe $ 3.⁰⁰ on the high end, $ 1.⁰⁰ / month intro.

I want sole ownership however I am also aware of maintenance as a large hurdle that if above my skillset.
 
I assume the CC connection will be the biggest obstacle & then there is the database / storage & proper security for member information.



Also not clicking the link but... for Android, the paid app "Tasker" can be used to build basic apps that just need machine-AI type capabilities.

App has been around for many years.

Yes,  absolutely.

I pay about $3/month for N static website pages hosted by aws S3. Just use AI/tutorials to guide you on the domain/dns setup.

This depends on the site's complexity. Auth/login to website sections is trivial now days.  AI can help you create and package a solution.  But its worth the investment to pay a few hours for pro assessment.

CC gateways are straight forward.  AI and vendor-specific AI can help you with this.  I would invest most of my budget on the CC integration and security.   As for storage and DB--cloud services make this easier.  If you deploy managed services, the vendor handles everything for you.  Again, hire a pro for a few hours to hep you.

How Likely the correct resource has pre- packaged / plug & play solutions?

I'm also thinking I need legal counsel to protect my idea, but also know there is not really a way to patent protect a website.
