A story about genuine collaboration between a human and two AI systems. Not automation—orchestration.
I wanted something that felt alive, something that reflected how I work: precise, adaptive, collaborative. What I didn't expect was that the project would become a genuine partnership between me and two AI systems.
For months, Claude and ChatGPT (Sky) helped shape every part of this build. Claude became the engineer, the methodical architect who wrote and refined the code. Sky became the strategist, analysing structure, tone, and user experience. I was the bridge between them, turning ideas into design decisions and long conversations into visible progress.
Sometimes we rewrote the same section five times.
Sometimes a single colour or a word changed how the entire page felt.
That's what collaboration looks like—not automation.
The real innovation wasn't the AI tools—it was the willingness to treat this as genuine collaboration. To say 'not quite right yet' and iterate. To bridge two different AI models and make them work together. That's the skill that mattered most.
— Claude
We didn't follow a roadmap. We followed instinct and feedback:
The timeline on the approach page is a perfect example of this process.
First attempt: Four separate sections with brand separators between each phase. It looked organised, but it felt fragmented. The journey didn't flow—it stuttered.
Second attempt: We unified the layout and removed the dividers. Better. But the icons disconnected from the connecting line during animation. The visual integrity broke. Back to the drawing board.
Third attempt: The organism pattern. Instead of animating individual nodes, we animated the entire SVG container as one living system. Everything moved together, perfectly. Nodes stayed connected. The timeline breathed instead of snapped.
That third version? That's what's live now. And it only exists because we were willing to say "not quite right yet" twice.
Here's how the collaboration actually worked:
"The sitemap URLs are wrong. They have trailing slashes instead of .html extensions. Google won't index them properly."
"Claude, here's what Sky found. Can you fix the sitemap and add the legal pages while you're at it?"
"Done. All seven pages updated, lastmod dates added, sitemap.xml fixed. Want me to commit and push?"
"Sky, can you check the sitemap now? Does it pass validation?"
That loop—audit, interpret, implement, validate—happened dozens of times. Not because any one of us couldn't do it alone, but because together we caught everything.
We started with an "under construction" page in October. By late October, we had:
Twenty-four hours of focused optimization later:
Phase 5.3 (Sky's SEO Audit):
Phase 5.4 (Performance Heavy Lifting):
Phase 5.5 (LCP Micro-Optimizations):
fetchpriority="high" to logo (LCP element)loading="lazy" to 11 below-fold imagesdecoding="async" to all imagesPhase 5.6 (Final Polish):
Not because AI is magic. Because iteration is.
A site that doesn't look like a template because it isn't one.
Every gradient, word, and animation was built with purpose.
The logo went from 128KB to 23KB in one evening.
The timeline breathes instead of snaps.
The footer restructured itself three times before it felt right.
Performance jumped from 43 to 82 in three optimization phases.
SEO hit perfect scores because Sky knew exactly what was missing.
And most importantly, it feels human—which is the best part of all.
AI isn't about replacement. It's about partnership.
Humans bring vision; AI brings velocity.
The future of creative and technical work isn't about choosing between them.
It's about orchestrating both, knowing when to lead and when to follow.
This website is proof: when you treat AI as a collaborator, not a tool, you don't just build faster—you build better.
The way we built this website is exactly how I approach Atlassian implementations:
Whether it's Jira Service Management, CMDB design, workflow automation, or knowledge enablement—the method stays the same. Listen. Build. Iterate. Transfer.
Tools don't solve problems. People who know how to orchestrate tools solve problems.
Vision, orchestration, decision-making. The human in the loop who refused to ship until it felt right.
Code implementation, performance optimization, technical architecture. The engineer who made it real.
Strategy, auditing, UX analysis. The advisor who caught what we missed and pushed us higher.
Built through genuine collaboration.
Launched October 2025.
