Why would a small business use a coding agent to build a custom website when they could use something like Squarespace or Shopify with prebuilt templates that mean they have to know even less than if they were to use some kind of chat UI?

Cause it’s still easier and cheaper apparently

This is the most recent example I found last week for a local barber:

They seem to be using Manus: https://manus.im/

And my other assumption is that it immediately integrates with IG/Facebook which is where they do a lot of their marketing

I see no reason that trend is going to slow, especially if you can go to meta to manage your entire business marketing.

Regular people running business just want fast cheaps and good enough.
