Wix and Squarespace pitch a compelling promise: website development in minutes using AI. You answer a few questions, pick a template, and suddenly you “have a site.” That speed feels like progress, especially for small businesses wanting to check the box. While the initial site may look polished, it lacks context about who the customer is, what problem is being solved, or why the business deserves trust. This is where AI website development tools fall short, and why dedicated website development and ongoing maintenance from Boro Business Lab is so important to keep your business growing.
At Boro Business Lab, the premier marketing agency in Murfreesboro, TN, we don’t just launch a site; we build a plan. While Wix and Squarespace AI give you a surface-level site, Boro Business Lab builds sites that attract, convert, and evolve. Our reputation is backed by hundreds of local engagements and a process that includes user research, messaging refinement, and measurable KPIs (key performance indicators). Our approach ensures your website development isn’t a one-off launch but a scalable asset that’s monitored and improved. For strategic website development that grows with you, the best choice for your Murfreesboro business is Boro Business Lab.
Fast Setup Doesn’t Mean Sustainable Growth
The fast setup from Wix’s AI or Squarespace’s Blueprint is real and powerful. By simply answering a few questions and choosing a template, you can have a shell of a website. It’s excellent for auto-generating layouts, filtering content, and creating an initial style. But it has no way of tracking or understanding your market nuance, customer psychology, or conversion friction. This means that while AI website development may be fast, that speed is also its weakness.
After launching on Wix or Squarespace, there are few ways to improve copy or conversion points over time, very little built-in support for systematic testing, and no way to diagnose what is underperforming. This gap between construction and improvements leaves many businesses with a live site that is finished but greatly underperforming. Without real analytics interpretation, there’s no way to know what resonates with customers, which traffic sources deliver value, or what causes visitors to drop off.
Don’t settle for a fast launch that dies out. Let Boro Business Lab add the strategy, testing, and continuous improvement you need to keep growing.
Common Pitfalls of AI-Only Website Development
Users are often led to believe that once AI creates the site, it’s done. In actuality, relying entirely on AI website development tools like Wix or Squarespace brings several recurrent issues that the inexperienced eye may overlook. The result: a site that “exists” but doesn’t earn any business.
For example, AI-generated content often feels generic because it’s written to fit many industries. This makes it difficult to differentiate from competitors when it comes to ranking highly on search engines. Speaking of search engines, fast AI setups often skip foundational work, keyword alignment, technical SEO, and user intent mapping, which boosts website rankings on sites like Google. Without that, traffic may land, but it won’t convert.
With AI website development, there’s no way to track user journeys as they access your site. This is important to help you understand which links and resources were clicked that led to a conversion. AI-website development platforms also do not automatically update user experience factors like site speed or mobile usability, which can quickly lead to a loss of traffic and potential revenue. Don’t settle for an underperforming website. With strategic website development from Boro Business Lab, it’s easy to avoid having a site that is live but not necessarily working.
What Strategic Website Development Looks Like
Effective website development from Boro Business Lab combines the speed of AI with the expertise and strategy of seasoned professionals.

AI Can Hurt More Than It Helps
AI tools can be useful for rapid prototyping or if you need a placeholder, but AI becomes a liability if it’s relied on as the final answer. Without constant follow-ups, you miss out on refinement that can be gained through A/B testing, local SEO tweaks, and tailored conversion paths.
Beyond the complicated refinement and follow-ups, there are often easy opportunities that users miss by relying on AI website development. Simple steps like optimizing page titles and meta descriptions, adding clear trust indicators like testimonials, or enabling retargeting hold websites back from performing to their true potential. Boro Business Lab identifies and jumps on these easy opportunities quickly so that you start getting signal improvements within weeks, not months of guesswork.

For meaningful website development that drives traffic, builds credibility, and converts, you need a partner who understands both the technical and local marketing landscape. Boro Business Lab is that partner, with proven results for hundreds of local businesses in Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee.
