Hey there! Thanks a bunch for giving our product a shoutout - it truly means a lot to us! 😊 Just so you know, since the video you shared in your review, we've been working hard on improvements and have rolled out quite a few updates. Plus, we've even added a nifty AI function to our plugin.
Rino, I’m so grateful for every video you post. It is so apparent that you have done your research and look at all sides of each development, really diving in and not taking another’s word for it, while being aware of the threats/ weaknesses out there. Truly a business mind. You put in the the time, you test, you develop, you’re special. I love your consistency, approach and instruction. Truthful, honest, ethical, REAL. Thank you for being you. One of a kind and VERY intelligent. ❤
Came across your channel from reading a post on the Reddit Web Design forum and I am glad I did, your wisdom is highly appreciated. Best wishes to you Rino, thank you for all the content you provide.
Oh That’s awesome. Thank you 🙏🏻 I myself am not on reddit, but would love to see the post. Could you perhaps email the link to the post to me? Because RUclips won’t allow you to share links in the comment section. My email is rino@livingwithpixels.com
Web dev + Bussiness knowledge = Web Consultant. We must expand our area of work to guide the customer through more steps of their digitization. Good video.
As stupid as it sounds: Being a webdesigner never really was about designing the website. it’s about providing a quality service to a customer, a businessperson, that has it’s time & skills invested into whatever their business is about. We as webdesigners consult, advise, build and most importantly maintain a businesses web presence. We’re paid for being the expert & the person to call, all things web presence. This might have been your most fundamental video talking about our industry, great work Rino!
I'm a gray-beard multi-discipline design engineer (Electronics, General and Automated Processes Mechanics, CAD, Application Programming, Embedded Programming, etc). I've been doing a lot of interactive testing using ChatGPT mostly associated with how to do certain things associated with the design work I'm involved with. What I've found so far is that knowing how to precisely ask your questions will largely determine the quality and correctness of the answer. ChatGPT has three things that allow it to more or less pass the Turing Test (eg are you talking to a human or a computer) The first of these is that the AI has the ability to parse and relate your questions using very natural language even if you make mistakes in spelling and grammar. The second is that every time you start a new chat or change subject matter within a chat the AI builds up a conversation context about what you're discussing (and it actually is a discussion because when there are various correct answers, some better than others you can query why it chose a particular answer path) and last (and I asked it about itself) it's been trained by reading a massive text base on just about everything it could be fed. One thing I found by asking is that, currently, while it cannot look up and respond with tabular historical data it can tell you where to find that data. At its current development level, I find it that it's a pretty good but not perfect technical resource which I use mostly as a cross between a library research assistant and a spot knowledge private tutor for things that I'm either working on or are curious about. Going back to my original statement. The value to the user will largely depend on the user's baseline specific and general knowledge. I have found that ChatGPT's ability to quickly build up a useful context depends, not on whether you already know something but whether you know at least the basic terminology and general ideas of the subject area you're exploring. This plays into your discussion about how the role and value of the designers change as they learn how to use and deploy rough ideas as usable end products. As a last note. You can use ChatGPT almost like a slimmed-down but more highly crosslinked Wikipedia to look into things you know little about and actually learn the terminology of new disciplines. Finally, ChatGPT performs sufficiently well that it feels a little like the ship's computer on StarTrek or Siri on steroids the difference being that the precision of how you ask questions to get useful results is much better in text than normal human speech is. Net conclusion. Simple Questions get simple answers (mostly) but complex compound questions are more useful in getting answers which translate intent into the kind of things required to build useful end products and finally GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out)
Reno, you’re so clever.🤩I’m a professional translator and we’re having that kind of discussion/concern for some time, as machine translation is around for a while. Our findings are the same: “technicians” or lower skilled people will disappear (professionally speaking, of course), but experts, visionaries, creative people and persons highly skilled in terms of human relations will survive and even thrive. Because, AI is still a machine thing, and a machine should always be driven, checked, corrected (at least for now!). And because at the end of the day, we work for humans… not for machines.
That was so very valuable in many immeasurable ways. Thank you so very much Rino. I've seen a few of your vids so far and each and every single one has much value. Thanks
Great perspective, I share this as well. Another important point to think about is that AI will not have knowledge of SEO like we do... which is also specific to each industry. Google can tell if something was written by a bot and it doesn't like it. Organic content ranks higher.
I have been waiting for this video a long time, cause all the other RUclipsrs are always so hyped and not realistic. I really like how you pointed out that we need to focus more on soft skills in stead of hard skills. I do agree with that, but I think there are more options for the future, but a fact is that we have to change as webdevelopers. One option is indeed as you said to be better in the soft skills, another would maybe be that we have to provide more services to clients. Lets say you can only make websites, you probably have to learn now SEO or social media management to provide more then only a website. Maybe because websites will become cheaper, we have to focus on other things, for example making a webshop, or making also an app, or making a complex website like a tutorial website. I think we have to adapt, but there are plenty of options if you want to change.
Good point about adding more services to clients. Very simple solution. I guess it's the same as the farmer who now does more jobs with less persons. Didn't think of that. Making more complex websites is also something I was trying to point to with my point that doing research (UX) will become more relevant. Because for simple websites you don't really need that much research and a different UX. Happy that I graduated as a UX designer
Of course they will not lose their job, there will still be millions of people that just don't have the feeling, skills and a mindset of a designer. So there will always be a market for web designers even with AI, I tried this with my traineeships, none of them could make proper webdesign while using the AI tool.
Hey Rino, can you do a video speaking on developing on wordpress/elementor vs. Webflow? A lot of people push webflow but I'm leaning toward elementor because the wordpress ecosystem is a little more disconnected from a single brand or company. It would be nice to see you speak on contrasting the two and why you would want to specialize on WordPress & Elementor.
He is very biased towards Elementor, wouldn't expect him to do such comparison, because the conclusion would have to be too obvious, and bad news for Elementor fans, which are his main audience on the channel.
@@ljubov_studio Yeah, I expected that. I just see so many webflow users (or ex-Elementor users) doing comparisons so I'd like to hear what he has to say on it.
Honestly. I need more info on Webflow to make a good comparison. Its not that I think elementor is better in every way, but its just that I like the freedom that Wordpress provides. Webflow is more a closed system. But also a big reason why I don’t do many comparisons is because I simply like to focus. It’s not that I am against webflow in any way, but I am not a news channel or anything. You are just more following my journey and lessons. I hope it makes sense 🙌🏼
I'm not switching to containers btw. Elementor devs said that sections won't be deprecated. So I chose to stay on sections, because it's easier to use for my clients.
I totally agree. I've done tech support for small businesses and a lot still struggle with what a url field is... to simply type in a website! I think we will be safe for a while!🤣
Rino, I share your opinion 100%. Nevertheless many website jobs are some smaller pages for people starting startups, such as photographers, hairdressers, pizzeria.. etc. These are webpages many of us webdesigners won’t be able to do anymore, because such clients with small budgets will do it by themself and don’t need this focus on service/humanity. Something where I thing A.I. is still pretty far away and you didn’t really mention, is the complexity of some pages. You need to channel many informations coming from different people and come up with smart solutions. You can’t solve this with prompts. Having said that, I thing all web designers need to find bigger clients with challenging tasks ;) Webpages for restaurants and similar won’t bring much revenue on the long run.
I thought about this 3 years ago, I wasn’t aware of AI but I thought that elementor and Shopify was becoming easier and easier for amateurs that sooner or later something like this could happen. That’s why I started developing a web based app that I could sell to restaurants so they could sell online similar to Uber eats but without the percentage cut they charge and more customizable, then I sold them maintenance and marketing which was more convenient for them and so far that generated me 3 times more than the web design agency I have. I think it’s all about evolving around this new technology and create new offers that could be interesting for clients.
Awesome Fabian. Really well done. I think slowly transitioning into web apps (or product design in general) is a smart move. It will be more valuable in the future. I also agree with you Alexis. The agencies that only sell small websites will suffer. I mean, already look at Elementor. Many small companies already use my videos to build the websites themselves. Which is understandable. Many smaller projects will be done in house in the future.
Thanks for the video! Very interesting. I have a question off topic. I noticed that you are using a Macbook. Do you have an M1/M2? I would like to ask your advice on which monitor is best to use for the bundle. What resolution do you end up working at? What cable do you use for the connection? This is very interesting. Macbook monitors are a sore subject if you want the perfect "picture" on the screen.
Clients don't have time to mess with Elementor nor Elementor AI. They aren't really doing web page design...they are running a business or they have someone who does it for them which they wouldn't be your client anyways.
I think that with tools like this we will have much more websites going live and all of them will somehow look the same. Which works for general purpose websites. But I doubt that AI will be able to create innovative designs and instead will just repeat what it already knows. So beeing able to create unique websites that AI can not "think" about will be a goof skill. Its also something that happend in the music industry somehow. Nowadays it is much easier to create a song or a track and the outcome of this is that there is so much music that sounds boring and very similar cause the tools are dictating so much.
hi, I purchased premium hostinger plan for 24 months. but could you please tell how to make other websites with the free domain? I can't find subdomain option. Please help. I opted for hostinger AI to create my first website. Cant we make wordpress site with the same plan ? Or just use only hostinger ai.
You are exactly correct because there will always be a portion of the novice users who get in over their head building a website with any form of auto system. At that point of them drowning in the rabbit hole who will they call? You the experts. I am a perfect example, I know enough to get myself into trouble but not enough to get me out of trouble.
Definitely, it won’t replace my job. Real development has a lot going on in the background, like security, web standards, and SEO, that AI just can’t handle.
Great video, you bring up many good points that got my thinking on the possibilities. I agree with your point that in the short term there's going to be a space for early adopters to profit. In our case as designers, there's just too much nuance for AI to replicate. It will be a tool for us to speed up the process, like an advanced template that we later tweak and refine to perfection.
I agree for at least the upcoming few years. It will become even easier to make money the upcoming few years. Because already right now it's quite a challenge to know what tool to use. Because they are popping up from everywhere. It makes me think of the problem with Wordpress plugin directory. Everything is possible, but you don't know where to start hahaha. I guess more work for people like me to direct people in the right direction.
@Rino - LivingWithPixels For many people the generic websites will be enough as they might tick all the check boxes. But they can't be unique, or might require a lot more time and finessing. You will still need to know Design principles to make them stand out, to make them unique and clever. We do need to pivot like you said and reinforce the human side of the interaction.
Initially I was concerned about losing out to AI, but I've instead been embracing it...and it's about to make my business better, way better. Also, there's always going to be those cheap clients who want to try and build the site themselves using AI and a page builder, however, I'm not interested in DIY clients. If a company truly wants to compete in a vary competitive landscape, they need an expert to navigate the waters for them. For now, AI is not that tool. I am...a tool. Ugh, that didn't come out right.
Remember, this tech will only get better. You dont stand a chance against an ai that is faster cheaper better. It’s not there yet, but who are you to say it wont get there next week, next month, or next year?
Hey Rino, when is the container tutorial gonna be out? I am just beginning to get into web now so would be good to get an up to date tutorial for Elementor. :)
It's still difficult to predict the impact of AI. What scares me the most is Elementor's claim that "AI will take your web creation skills to the next level". What new level are we talking about? Everyone will become a prompt writer :D I also think we need to create value instead of trying to do it as fast as possible, usually with poor quality. Yes, AI is on a wave right now - a very big wave. Content creators, supported by developers, further inflate this bubble, popularize, idealize, and romanticize it. Either way, it will have a dramatic impact in many areas. Somewhere more positive, somewhere more negative. Therefore, we should develop our skills, adapt quickly, and be less dependent on AI. Those who fail to do so will simply disappear from the market
Interesting yea. The question is what will web creation skills look like in a few years. Perhaps the new skill will become to just know what AI tools to use and how to use them to create something special. So a good design process will become the new key to success instead of tool focussed hard skills.
Good to see you again Rino, it's been a while since we've heard from you, I was getting worried your next video was going to be called 'Why I'm Swicthing To Bricks'. ;)
I'll be honest with you Rino. I'm kinda scary of AI replacements for my job as a webdesigner. I allready started another eveningstudy to school myself in IT.
Nobody will be safe from AI. Property and working with physical tangible things will be the best option. People that say "it's just a tool", "only those that are bad at their job have to worry", "this always happens when new technology appears". Think about this: academics, scientists and entrepreneurs want a "pause" in the development of AI, that should tell you something.
@LivingWithPixels aha oke sorry my assumption, and what about the black friday video? I can not seem to find that one. I wanted to check how the prices were in sale.
Ohh yea, those are the only videos that I delete. Simply because they are not relevant anymore for new people visiting the channel. But it's still visible with the link. Here you go: ruclips.net/video/MWxbfnyXPAA/видео.html
Hey, Rino hope you are doing well. For the last 2 years, I am watching your videos. And those are really really helpful for me as a web developer. I have a small video request from you, Can you make a tutorial video about how can we make a conditional forum using Elementor or Crocoblock? I already try to find something on youtube but to be honest I am clear about how they do. I also want to know is possible to add images as a condition. like if we select a beach image it shows some beach images if we select a hotel image it shows some hotel images. If it's possible please make a video about this. Thank you. Love from Bangladesh (Risan)
Hey, Rino Bedankt voor je video. AI is het tool van het jaar, Maar het zal vele business kapot maken. Maar Ai moet steeds bediend worden door een persoon , er zitten wel nog wat fouten in de AI. Ik denk eens het op punt staat dan staan we op een helling.
The problem I have with Webflow, is that you have to take there hosting. And there are mostly fees attached witch are much cheaper if you have your own hosting and pay for the plugins in Elementor. Elementor is also better for E-Commerce. It is a little bit more complicated but gives you more freedom.
Elementor has to beef up their security in my opinion. I think the AI feature is great but with other website builders coming out with AI, Elementor could lose client stickiness if people begin wanting to solely focus on designing+SEO and less time doing maintenance and updating plugins. 🥴
Its not turner on automatically, since you have to pay for it to work. The only thing you see is the little AI icon next to some input fields. I don’t know how to turn that off.
@@rinodeboer Thanks for the reply. I enabled content AI trial but wishing to turn it off now. Couldn't find any solution other than coding to hide the icon. Didn't expect this from Elementor.
To answer the title. No. Because clients are too lazy to do it themselves. Even if you tell them they can just press a button they will not do it or find a way to make a bad website because they don’t get the basics of design
It's not AI that replaces humans. but 1 human who uses AI replaces 10 humans who do not use AI. it's a war to the bottom. who can give the cheapest price
I think AI will just make it easier for those of us who know design to make even more amazing designs. And also more incredible simple pages for small customers.
imagine giving prompts to elementor, wordpress and figma by voice. that will help me tremendously with my RSI syndrome - fewer clicks, fewer pain. in 1950: 60% of the people worked on farms, 2023: less than 2%
Thank you for the data about the farms. That's exactly what I was thinking. But I think there is a big possibility that something like that could happen with voice. I really hope it for you!
The emergence of AI is likely to result in more novice graduates being able to undercut the market with very low prices. Small business owners will not hire you simply for your marketing experience because they always feel that they are the marketing experts. Farmers can see and touch the crops they grow and harvest, which naturally have value. What you produce while sitting in front of a computer is intangible and, in the eyes of many employers, is simply worthless.
Remember guns replaced the bows but look at what happened with that, picking up a bow is special now. The weaker designers will die and the stronger ones will design and even surpass ai.
Naive comments like these make me chuckle. These kind of folks that keep hanging to these ideas are the ones that are going to suffer the most when AI catches up to them.
@@tonybp I’ve been working with AI for the past 12 years sweetie. I stand on what I said. Let’s pick this back up when the feature comes out and see how it shakes my business foundations.
If you make a living doing this, do as much as you can while you can. There will come a time (sooner than you think) when AI will take over everything and it won't be just a "time saver" or a "tool". it will just take a prompt for the avg Joe and Jane to get a website, a design, a video, etc, quickly and free, no need to hire a human that will take time and cost money. Never before have academics, scientists and even entrepreneurs have asked for a "Time-Out" when it comes to developing a new technology, in this case AI. The structure of society and the economic models as we know them will cease to exist. Not trying to be doom and gloom, just saying it like it is. There's no denying what's coming. Good luck everyone.
it's still time and brain space that you have to put in. Also, most clients currently don't have the budget for even the smallest website! making it cheaper will open up a huge new market of people that can pay you only $100-200 a month. but because you can leverage your service so much with A.I. it will make it profitable.
@@heikorudi6105 "it's still time and brain space that you have to put in"... "most clients currently don't have the budget for even the smallest website!"... what did I just say? AI will make it so easy and cheap for even the laziest and unknowledgeable folks to get what they want from AI, quick and free. But hey, if telling yourself all that makes you feel better, go for it.
To be honest I think AI will make work easier for web designers, most clients focus on their business rather than cutting costs by figuring out how to bypass a web designer.
@@JFG127 That's the point many of you don't seem to be getting. AI will make it so easy and cheap that business owners will love it. When it comes to running a business, cutting costs is essential.
I love it when your generation calls older people stupid. We, Gen X, the older stupid people, are the ones who created all this technology that you found already established when you became an adult. I was born in a world without computers or smartphones, and I have seen these changes happen several times. Something you haven't yet experienced. So, from an old stupid guy, hear this: yes, most of front end developers will lose their jobs this next 2 years; yes, those changes will also come for backend and in less than 6 years; yes, if you do not adapt, you will not survive; yes, every 10 years or so, occupations disappear; and people most adapt and reinvent themselves. Something that we, old stupid people, are used to doing. And finally, yes, 10Web AI builder is already doing everything with just a promt. And it's not the only web app doing it now. I do like you. Get ready!
no ,, ,nobody will lose job .... every one have their own company ... or work in out sourcing market. .. so programmer should give something that other can't give ... hard competition .
So what happens when every busienss within the same industry are using the same AI to produce the same website, with the same text and images and the same ads running on Google and social? Lets pretend Joe's Plumbing is the biggest competitor of Bill's Plumbing. Joe tells AI to create a plumbing website for him advertising his services and use the color blue. Bill tells AI to do the same but use the color red. Both have identical services. Both tell AI to create ads for septic cleaning. Both are happy with their websites, but unhappy with the Google ranking and ad performance, because the big guys are winning in that realm. Joe and Bill both keep asking AI to optimize their site. If its all the same AI, who's site and ads are better? As for big companies, who is responsible for managing the site? The CEO? CIO? Who is reviewing the analytics to determine how the site and ads are performing? Yes, AI is changing the game, but there's still going to be plenty of room for players. I asked AI to hack into Fort Knox and move all the money to an offshore account. Didn't do it. I asked AI to provide me detailed schematics on building the Millennium Falcon capable of light speed. Couldn't do it. AI is still pretty reliant on people. It's impressive, but is not self sustaining yet and may never be.

Nevertheless many website jobs are some smaller pages for people starting startups, such as photographers, hairdressers, pizzeria.. etc. These are webpages many of us webdesigners won’t be able to do anymore, because such clients with small budgets will do it by themself and don’t need this focus on service/humanity.
Something where I thing A.I. is still pretty far away and you didn’t really mention, is the complexity of some pages. You need to channel many informations coming from different people and come up with smart solutions. You can’t solve this with prompts. Having said that, I thing all web designers need to find bigger clients with challenging tasks ;) Webpages for restaurants and similar won’t bring much revenue on the long run.
I thought about this 3 years ago, I wasn’t aware of AI but I thought that elementor and Shopify was becoming easier and easier for amateurs that sooner or later something like this could happen. That’s why I started developing a web based app that I could sell to restaurants so they could sell online similar to Uber eats but without the percentage cut they charge and more customizable, then I sold them maintenance and marketing which was more convenient for them and so far that generated me 3 times more than the web design agency I have. I think it’s all about evolving around this new technology and create new offers that could be interesting for clients.
Awesome Fabian. Really well done. I think slowly transitioning into web apps (or product design in general) is a smart move. It will be more valuable in the future. I also agree with you Alexis. The agencies that only sell small websites will suffer. I mean, already look at Elementor. Many small companies already use my videos to build the websites themselves. Which is understandable. Many smaller projects will be done in house in the future.
@@rinodeboer Thanks Rino
Thanks for the video! Very interesting.
I have a question off topic. I noticed that you are using a Macbook. Do you have an M1/M2? I would like to ask your advice on which monitor is best to use for the bundle. What resolution do you end up working at? What cable do you use for the connection? This is very interesting. Macbook monitors are a sore subject if you want the perfect "picture" on the screen.
Clients don't have time to mess with Elementor nor Elementor AI. They aren't really doing web page design...they are running a business or they have someone who does it for them which they wouldn't be your client anyways.
I think that with tools like this we will have much more websites going live and all of them will somehow look the same. Which works for general purpose websites. But I doubt that AI will be able to create innovative designs and instead will just repeat what it already knows. So beeing able to create unique websites that AI can not "think" about will be a goof skill. Its also something that happend in the music industry somehow. Nowadays it is much easier to create a song or a track and the outcome of this is that there is so much music that sounds boring and very similar cause the tools are dictating so much.
hi, I purchased premium hostinger plan for 24 months. but could you please tell how to make other websites with the free domain? I can't find subdomain option. Please help. I opted for hostinger AI to create my first website. Cant we make wordpress site with the same plan ? Or just use only hostinger ai.
You are exactly correct because there will always be a portion of the novice users who get in over their head building a website with any form of auto system. At that point of them drowning in the rabbit hole who will they call? You the experts. I am a perfect example, I know enough to get myself into trouble but not enough to get me out of trouble.
Thank you for the amazing videos as always. Much appreciated.
Definitely, it won’t replace my job. Real development has a lot going on in the background, like security, web standards, and SEO, that AI just can’t handle.
Great video, you bring up many good points that got my thinking on the possibilities.
I agree with your point that in the short term there's going to be a space for early adopters to profit.
In our case as designers, there's just too much nuance for AI to replicate.
It will be a tool for us to speed up the process, like an advanced template that we later tweak and refine to perfection.
I agree for at least the upcoming few years. It will become even easier to make money the upcoming few years. Because already right now it's quite a challenge to know what tool to use. Because they are popping up from everywhere. It makes me think of the problem with Wordpress plugin directory. Everything is possible, but you don't know where to start hahaha. I guess more work for people like me to direct people in the right direction.
@Rino - LivingWithPixels For many people the generic websites will be enough as they might tick all the check boxes. But they can't be unique, or might require a lot more time and finessing.
You will still need to know Design principles to make them stand out, to make them unique and clever.
We do need to pivot like you said and reinforce the human side of the interaction.
Initially I was concerned about losing out to AI, but I've instead been embracing it...and it's about to make my business better, way better. Also, there's always going to be those cheap clients who want to try and build the site themselves using AI and a page builder, however, I'm not interested in DIY clients. If a company truly wants to compete in a vary competitive landscape, they need an expert to navigate the waters for them. For now, AI is not that tool. I am...a tool. Ugh, that didn't come out right.
Famous last words
Remember, this tech will only get better. You dont stand a chance against an ai that is faster cheaper better. It’s not there yet, but who are you to say it wont get there next week, next month, or next year?
Hey Rino, when is the container tutorial gonna be out? I am just beginning to get into web now so would be good to get an up to date tutorial for Elementor. :)
I just recorded some new parts yesterday evening. I'm editing it as we speak. So it's gonna be uploaded very soon.
It's still difficult to predict the impact of AI. What scares me the most is Elementor's claim that "AI will take your web creation skills to the next level". What new level are we talking about? Everyone will become a prompt writer :D I also think we need to create value instead of trying to do it as fast as possible, usually with poor quality. Yes, AI is on a wave right now - a very big wave. Content creators, supported by developers, further inflate this bubble, popularize, idealize, and romanticize it. Either way, it will have a dramatic impact in many areas. Somewhere more positive, somewhere more negative. Therefore, we should develop our skills, adapt quickly, and be less dependent on AI. Those who fail to do so will simply disappear from the market
Interesting yea. The question is what will web creation skills look like in a few years. Perhaps the new skill will become to just know what AI tools to use and how to use them to create something special. So a good design process will become the new key to success instead of tool focussed hard skills.
Good to see you again Rino, it's been a while since we've heard from you, I was getting worried your next video was going to be called 'Why I'm Swicthing To Bricks'. ;)
Oh no, I'm just spending most of my time finishing the Elementor Pro course. That's why I haven't uploaded that much.
Good to hear and good to know, very much looking forward to it, stay well.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I'll be honest with you Rino. I'm kinda scary of AI replacements for my job as a webdesigner. I allready started another eveningstudy to school myself in IT.
what is the subject yiu are studying on ?
Nobody will be safe from AI. Property and working with physical tangible things will be the best option. People that say "it's just a tool", "only those that are bad at their job have to worry", "this always happens when new technology appears". Think about this: academics, scientists and entrepreneurs want a "pause" in the development of AI, that should tell you something.
What if ai fails on coding and the customers will need help to fix it? I think when a complete website can be build it will need some fixing too
Thank you so much your video was very helpful and very on point. I learned so many things from it. Thank you for selling it with us.
Quick question, why did you remove all your videos related to Bricks?
I did not delete any video? I haven’t made a separate video about it. The videos where I talk about Bricks are part of other videos.
@LivingWithPixels aha oke sorry my assumption, and what about the black friday video? I can not seem to find that one. I wanted to check how the prices were in sale.
Ohh yea, those are the only videos that I delete. Simply because they are not relevant anymore for new people visiting the channel. But it's still visible with the link. Here you go: ruclips.net/video/MWxbfnyXPAA/видео.html
@@rinodeboer Thanks for the response again! Volg je al sinds 2016 en je content helpt oprecht enorm! Thanks and much ❤️
Super tof om te horen! Jij ook bedankt 🙏🏻
what do you think about the new bricks that is coming ?
Hey, Rino hope you are doing well. For the last 2 years, I am watching your videos. And those are really really helpful for me as a web developer. I have a small video request from you, Can you make a tutorial video about how can we make a conditional forum using Elementor or Crocoblock? I already try to find something on youtube but to be honest I am clear about how they do. I also want to know is possible to add images as a condition. like if we select a beach image it shows some beach images if we select a hotel image it shows some hotel images. If it's possible please make a video about this.
Thank you.
Love from Bangladesh

Webflow Ai is just around the corner too.
Hey, Rino
Bedankt voor je video.
AI is het tool van het jaar, Maar het zal vele business kapot maken. Maar Ai moet steeds bediend worden door een persoon , er zitten wel nog wat fouten in de AI.
Ik denk eens het op punt staat dan staan we op een helling.
Amazing Analysis, Thank you.
The problem I have with Webflow, is that you have to take there hosting. And there are mostly fees attached witch are much cheaper if you have your own hosting and pay for the plugins in Elementor. Elementor is also better for E-Commerce. It is a little bit more complicated but gives you more freedom.
Exactly. I totally agree with this.
@@rinodeboerhaha yea. You help me and my wife a lot by growing ouer business. Thank you very much 🙏 Will definitely buy your course.
That's awesome to hear. Happy that I can contribute to your family 🙏🏼
Great video…lots of good points
When are your courses ready?
My goal is next month!
This is valuable information... Thanks Rhino
5:54 - Who else do farmers plow? 👀
Can you do a long video on how to work on elementor IA thnak you bro
Not everybody wants to "talk with Chat GPT"
Elementor has to beef up their security in my opinion.
I think the AI feature is great but with other website builders coming out with AI, Elementor could lose client stickiness if people begin wanting to solely focus on designing+SEO and less time doing maintenance and updating plugins. 🥴
Do we have an option to Disable AI ?
Its not turner on automatically, since you have to pay for it to work. The only thing you see is the little AI icon next to some input fields. I don’t know how to turn that off.
@@rinodeboer Thanks for the reply. I enabled content AI trial but wishing to turn it off now. Couldn't find any solution other than coding to hide the icon. Didn't expect this from Elementor.
Yea, I feel you. I think they should add a feature to hide it instead of showing it in every input field.
7:00 One of my arguments, too.
same idea i had about containter said about related and so on.. :)
Understanding theory and the correct terminology should become as important as ever.
Please test 10web AI, then make a video. Thank u so much
To answer the title. No. Because clients are too lazy to do it themselves. Even if you tell them they can just press a button they will not do it or find a way to make a bad website because they don’t get the basics of design
Was missing only rhino with a video on ai
It's not AI that replaces humans. but 1 human who uses AI replaces 10 humans who do not use AI.
it's a war to the bottom. who can give the cheapest price
I think AI will just make it easier for those of us who know design to make even more amazing designs. And also more incredible simple pages for small customers.
imagine giving prompts to elementor, wordpress and figma by voice. that will help me tremendously with my RSI syndrome - fewer clicks, fewer pain. in 1950: 60% of the people worked on farms, 2023: less than 2%
Thank you for the data about the farms. That's exactly what I was thinking. But I think there is a big possibility that something like that could happen with voice. I really hope it for you!
The emergence of AI is likely to result in more novice graduates being able to undercut the market with very low prices.
Small business owners will not hire you simply for your marketing experience because they always feel that they are the marketing experts.
Farmers can see and touch the crops they grow and harvest, which naturally have value.
What you produce while sitting in front of a computer is intangible and, in the eyes of many employers, is simply worthless.
WordPress AI is here too
Remember guns replaced the bows but look at what happened with that, picking up a bow is special now. The weaker designers will die and the stronger ones will design and even surpass ai.
Naive comments like these make me chuckle. These kind of folks that keep hanging to these ideas are the ones that are going to suffer the most when AI catches up to them.
@@tonybp I’ve been working with AI for the past 12 years sweetie. I stand on what I said. Let’s pick this back up when the feature comes out and see how it shakes my business foundations.
@@kaptainkrim7553 12 years 🤣 Hey, if telling yourself all this makes you feel good and safe, you go for it girl 😆
I constantly see postings for "web developer/designer" $10/20 per hour. So like everything, you have to pivot.
Luv if you test and review 10web 🎉
If you make a living doing this, do as much as you can while you can. There will come a time (sooner than you think) when AI will take over everything and it won't be just a "time saver" or a "tool". it will just take a prompt for the avg Joe and Jane to get a website, a design, a video, etc, quickly and free, no need to hire a human that will take time and cost money. Never before have academics, scientists and even entrepreneurs have asked for a "Time-Out" when it comes to developing a new technology, in this case AI. The structure of society and the economic models as we know them will cease to exist. Not trying to be doom and gloom, just saying it like it is. There's no denying what's coming. Good luck everyone.
it's still time and brain space that you have to put in. Also, most clients currently don't have the budget for even the smallest website! making it cheaper will open up a huge new market of people that can pay you only $100-200 a month. but because you can leverage your service so much with A.I. it will make it profitable.
@@heikorudi6105 "it's still time and brain space that you have to put in"... "most clients currently don't have the budget for even the smallest website!"... what did I just say? AI will make it so easy and cheap for even the laziest and unknowledgeable folks to get what they want from AI, quick and free. But hey, if telling yourself all that makes you feel better, go for it.
To be honest I think AI will make work easier for web designers, most clients focus on their business rather than cutting costs by figuring out how to bypass a web designer.
@@tonybp Simple websites will definitely be done with AI very soon
@@JFG127 That's the point many of you don't seem to be getting. AI will make it so easy and cheap that business owners will love it. When it comes to running a business, cutting costs is essential.
I love it when your generation calls older people stupid. We, Gen X, the older stupid people, are the ones who created all this technology that you found already established when you became an adult. I was born in a world without computers or smartphones, and I have seen these changes happen several times. Something you haven't yet experienced. So, from an old stupid guy, hear this: yes, most of front end developers will lose their jobs this next 2 years; yes, those changes will also come for backend and in less than 6 years; yes, if you do not adapt, you will not survive; yes, every 10 years or so, occupations disappear; and people most adapt and reinvent themselves. Something that we, old stupid people, are used to doing. And finally, yes, 10Web AI builder is already doing everything with just a promt. And it's not the only web app doing it now. I do like you. Get ready!
In short. Yes
no ,, ,nobody will lose job .... every one have their own company ... or work in out sourcing market. .. so programmer should give something that other can't give ... hard competition .
We need gpt 5. And midjourney v10 in 2024
So what happens when every busienss within the same industry are using the same AI to produce the same website, with the same text and images and the same ads running on Google and social?
Lets pretend Joe's Plumbing is the biggest competitor of Bill's Plumbing. Joe tells AI to create a plumbing website for him advertising his services and use the color blue. Bill tells AI to do the same but use the color red. Both have identical services. Both tell AI to create ads for septic cleaning. Both are happy with their websites, but unhappy with the Google ranking and ad performance, because the big guys are winning in that realm. Joe and Bill both keep asking AI to optimize their site. If its all the same AI, who's site and ads are better?
As for big companies, who is responsible for managing the site? The CEO? CIO? Who is reviewing the analytics to determine how the site and ads are performing?
Yes, AI is changing the game, but there's still going to be plenty of room for players.
I asked AI to hack into Fort Knox and move all the money to an offshore account. Didn't do it. I asked AI to provide me detailed schematics on building the Millennium Falcon capable of light speed. Couldn't do it. AI is still pretty reliant on people. It's impressive, but is not self sustaining yet and may never be.
Elementor just following the hype
😂😂😂😂
have a plan b
Ai is so scary
An "expert" using Elementor. Come on Rino. Do better.
