Creative Repute, based in Philadelphia, notes an increase in clients arriving with AI-generated websites, brands, and software that still require human expertise to complete.
AI can be a real asset in developing concepts and visualizing your ideas. Still, human expertise is often needed to bring those concepts to life.”— Tina Armstead
Creative Repute, a branding and creative agency headquartered in Philadelphia, is noticing a fresh category of customer: entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and consultants who have already employed AI to create a website, brand, or software platform and are now seeking assistance to finalize it.
According to Stack Overflow's 2025 Developer Survey, 84% of developers either currently use or intend to use AI in their workflows. Separate research on AI-produced websites indicates that human review remains critical for accessibility, usability, and adherence to contemporary web standards. An examination of six AI-created websites uncovered 308 accessibility errors; over half involved cognitive issues, and nearly half represented WCAG 2.2 violations.
"AI can be a real asset in developing concepts and visualizing your ideas. Still, human expertise is often needed to bring those concepts to life."
In its newest blog entry, We're Seeing a New Kind of Client at Creative Repute: AI Got Them 80% There, the agency explains what it is discovering while collaborating with clients who relied on AI to produce an early version of a website, brand, or platform. Creative Repute states that AI excels at getting a project roughly 80% complete, but the remaining portion—encompassing user experience, software architecture, accessibility, and brand coherence—still depends on experienced judgment.
The article points to recurring issues found in AI-built websites: calls-to-action that are technically accurate yet emotionally flat, layouts that function on desktop but break on mobile or tablet, and logo designs that appear polished on screens but are hard to replicate across signage, apparel, or print. It also observes that software created without long-term planning can become significantly more costly to extend later compared to if growth had been factored in from the outset.
Organizations that have already used AI to produce an initial draft of their website, brand, or platform can look into Creative Repute's website design and development services or ask for a free quote to discuss next steps.
