Talking about coding websites: I'm a seasoned dev who loves to be in control of the website code, but hates debugging nitty gritty layouting issues, which steal tons of time and attention. I want to progress fast building great landing websites for my tech products, with the same speed that I code the products themselves. What stacks and LLM tools (if any) do you recommend that help writing great looking websites with great SEO support... fast?

I'm far from an expert, but I think depending on whether you have website designs or not already, you could use the Figma Dev Mode MCP Server + Claude Code as I did.

I've heard increasingly good things about Cursor and Codex, but haven't tried them as recently. Cline (as a VS Code extension) might also be helpful here.

If you need designs, something like v0 could work well. There are a ton of alternatives (Base44, Figma Make, etc.) but I've found v0 works the best personally, although it probably takes a bit of trial and error.

For SEO support specifically, I might just try asking some of the existing AI tooling to try to help you optimize there although I'm not sure how well the results would be. I briefly experimented with this and early results seemed promising, but did not push on it a lot.

Just pay the 20 USD for ClaudeAI for the beginning, then after 4 - 6 weeks check if you are happy.
