IN PROGRESS

This website is an experiment.

The new BigSteveLabs.com is being built as a controlled experiment: multiple independent AI builders, one frozen specification, clean environments, no shared starting point. The strongest complete build becomes the foundation for the production site.

01 · THE EXPERIMENT

One specification. Many builders.

Several independent AI website builders receive the same frozen master command: the organization, the brand principles, the visual standard, the hard requirements. Each works in its own clean staging environment. None sees another builder’s work. The builds are then evaluated against one scorecard — and the strongest complete result becomes the foundation.

  • Same specification — a frozen master command, identical for every builder.
  • Independent builds — no shared starting point, no borrowed design.
  • One evaluation standard — visual quality, communication, real work and evidence, SEO, conversion, and owner maintainability.
  • Production untouched — all construction happens on staging; the live site is preserved.

02 · WHAT IT TESTS

The meta-question.

PROJECT: BIGSTEVE is the lab eating its own cooking: a specification-discipline and build-automation experiment that also produces the next home for the lab’s public work.

01

Specification discipline

Can a frozen, exhaustive specification produce a coherent result without hand-holding?

02

Build automation

Can a complete, owner-editable WordPress build be delivered and verified programmatically?

03

Owner maintainability

Can the finished site be maintained without code, command lines, or an AI on call?

03 · STATUS

In progress — on staging.

The builds are underway at build.bigstevelabs.com. The production site at bigstevelabs.com continues to operate untouched throughout. When the chosen build is verified, migration is handled selectively and deliberately — nothing is discarded merely because it isn’t in the primary navigation.
