Will AI replace coders who only build basic websites?

Yes — for basic, template-driven websites, AI is already replacing a lot of the work. Simple landing pages, portfolio sites, and standard small-business sites can often be produced very quickly with AI plus low-code tools.

The bigger shift is this: basic website building is becoming commodity work. If your only skill is assembling standard pages, AI will keep shrinking that market.

What still needs people:

• Turning messy client needs into a clear plan
• Custom integrations with databases, APIs, payments, or auth
• Security, accessibility, and compliance
• Debugging edge cases that break across browser, backend, and hosting

Best move: use AI for the routine parts and move up to product thinking, custom logic, and problem-solving. That’s where human developers stay valuable.
