Rebuilding Byte.fi with AI: OpenClaw, Claude Code, Astro, and fixing DNS along the way
23/03/2026
We recently refreshed Byte.fi with a new look and published it in both Finnish and English. Like most real-world launches, this wasn’t just “writing some copy” — it included structure, layout, content migration, domain/DNS details, and a final round of checks to make sure everything works in production.
In this project, we used AI as a practical work partner. Here’s what we solved with AI — and what the site is built on.
Technologies (high level)
The new Byte.fi is built with a modern static-site approach:
- Astro (modern static site generator / web framework)
- Node.js for development and builds
- Static output (build → ready-to-serve pages), typically delivered through fast hosting/CDN
- A clear bilingual structure (FI/EN) so content stays consistent across languages
This stack is great for:
- performance (user experience + SEO)
- a clean content structure
- simple deployments and maintenance
AI as a work partner: OpenClaw + Claude Code
OpenClaw: sparring, checklists, and quick QA
We used OpenClaw mainly for:
- content and structure sparring (“what’s missing?”, “what’s unclear to a first-time visitor?”)
- bilingual consistency checks (FI/EN)
- a fast post-launch QA pass (home page, navigation, footer, CTAs)
It’s essentially a second set of eyes that helps you stay crisp and move fast.
Claude Code: layout improvements directly in code
Once the baseline structure was ready, we used Claude Code to iterate on layout and UI details:
- spacing, typography, and component cleanup
- clarifying the hero section and calls-to-action
- polishing the overall consistency across pages and screen sizes
Claude Code is especially useful for that “final 20%” where the experience goes from good to great.
Content migration from Wix
One of the practical steps was migrating content from a published Wix version into the new structure.
AI helped speed up:
- extracting and organizing the content (what belongs on the home page vs. subpages)
- rewriting and tightening copy for the new layout (headings, intros, CTAs)
- keeping both languages aligned — without making English feel like a literal translation
Domain transfer and DNS: “why isn’t it showing up?”
The classic launch hurdle: domain and DNS configuration.
We investigated and fixed items like:
- where the domain is actually pointing and which DNS records are in effect
- redirects/handling for both
wwwand the root domain - why changes don’t appear immediately (propagation/TTL)
- validating that both language versions work correctly after changes
AI’s value here was mainly “diagnostics + checklist”: what to check first, common pitfalls, and how to confirm the fix.
What we learned
The main takeaway: AI wasn’t an autopilot — it was a work partner.
- faster decisions
- less busywork
- help with tricky technical moments (DNS, transfers, publishing)
- steady momentum from start to launch
When the process stays light and fast, publishing becomes easier — and the site goes live when it’s actually useful.
Closing
Byte.fi is now live in Finnish and English. Next up is keeping the blog moving — because a good website is not only design, but also consistent visibility over time.
