18:15 “I built a website without knowing what I was doing – and it still works.” by Mari Luukkainen

30 min session on how a website comes together with zero formal design process, no Elementor baggage, and full-on vibe mode.

• How I started without knowing anything about modern tech
• How vibes guide structure and visuals
• What I learned on the way (like why optimizing WP was a waste of time)
• How AI tools (Cursor, ChatGPT) push code forward even if you don’t know what you’re doing
• How to speed up your own learning

“If you can write, you can code. Or at least get something on screen.”

No slides – just showing my actual workflow

Mari is a VC who previously coded horrible PHP 10 years ago and never bothered to learn GitHub
