I Built a Laravel Tall Stack PSEO Website with Cursor AI (With No Experience) (visualvehicle.co)

How I built it:

- Crawled a car-related website to gather relevant data.

- Converted the data into a CSV with over 20k rows, then asked Cursor AI to model and migrate it into my database.

- Used Cursor AI to build the entire Laravel website using the TALL stack (I had no prior experience with any of these components, but heard they were versatile).

- Had Cursor create the animations of the cars you see on the page.

- Leveraged my previous website-building experience (mostly with WordPress) to set up navigation, breadcrumbs, and a decent URL structure.

- Pushed the site live on Cloudways via GitHub (which was a new experience for me).

I’m sharing this for two reasons:

- To showcase my work—I'm proud of the end product (I chuckle when I see the car animation struggle to turn around in a narrow street).

- To highlight the capabilities of AI in building websites. I was genuinely impressed by what I could achieve with AI assistance throughout this project.
