Vibe coding
What is vibe coding, and what does a vibe coding agency do?
Vibe coding is a new way to build websites and software. You say what you want in plain words, and an AI writes the code. It is fast. It is also easy to get wrong. This article explains both sides, what a vibe coding agency does about it, and how a marketplace of vibe coders like Vemly works.

What vibe coding means
The term appeared in early 2025. The idea is simple. Instead of typing every line of code by hand, a person describes the result: “a booking page for a twelve-room hotel, with a calendar and a form”. The AI writes the code. The person looks at the result, asks for changes, and repeats until it is right.
The work shifts from writing code to guiding it. A clear description, a careful eye and many small corrections matter more than typing speed.
Why it is faster and cheaper
Much of the cost of a website or an app is time. Time to write the pages, the forms, the layout for phones, the connection to a database. AI now writes most of that first draft in minutes instead of days.
Less time means a lower price. The saving is real, and it goes to the client.
Where vibe coding goes wrong
AI writes code that looks right. It is not always right. When nobody who understands code reads it, the problems stay hidden until a bad day. The common ones:
- Security holes: a form that accepts anything, a password stored in plain view, a private page anyone can open.
- Things that work for one visitor and break with a hundred.
- Code nobody can change later, because nobody knows how it is put together.
- Small mistakes on phones, in other languages, or on slow connections.
A person with no technical training can build a demo this way in an afternoon. Running a business on it is a different matter.
What a vibe coding agency does
A vibe coding agency is a company that builds websites and software with AI. It keeps the speed and adds the checks. AI writes the code. People who know code guide it, read it, test it and fix it. You talk to one company, and it gives you one price.
The job of these people is not to type. It is to know what good looks like: how data should be stored, what must be protected, what will still work when the business grows.
A vibe coder, and a marketplace of vibe coders
A vibe coder is a developer who builds with AI. An agency is one way to work with vibe coders. A marketplace is another way. Vemly is not an agency. Vemly is a vibe coding marketplace. It goes like this:
- You post your project and your budget. It is free.
- Selected developers who build with AI send you their offers.
- You read their profiles and their past work. You talk with them on Vemly.
- You pick one, and you both sign a contract online on Vemly.
- The developer builds your project with AI and delivers it to you.
Not everyone gets in. Every developer applies with links to things they have already built, and Vemly looks at that work first. Vemly is free for clients. It takes 10% from the developer, and only when a deal is done.
What it does not change
AI does not know your business. You still need to say what you sell, to whom, and what a visitor should do on the page. You still need real photos and honest words. And a project still needs decisions: which pages, which languages, which payment method.
Larger projects still take planning. An online shop, a booking system or custom software for your team has more rules, more data and more ways to fail. AI makes the building faster. It does not remove the thinking.
Questions to ask anyone who builds with AI
- Who reads the code the AI writes? Someone who knows code, or nobody?
- How do you test the site before it goes online?
- Who holds the domain name and the accounts once the site is live?
- What happens when something breaks six months later?
- What is the price, and what is not included?
Clear answers are a good sign. Vague ones are a reason to keep looking. These questions work for an agency and for a single developer. On Vemly, you can ask them to each developer before you choose.
Is it right for your business?
For a small business that needs a website, an online shop, a booking page or a tool for its team, vibe coding done by a developer who knows code is a sound choice. You get the same kind of product as before, sooner and for less. The condition is that someone qualified stands behind the code.
On Vemly, you can post a website, software, a phone app, a data project, an AI tool or an AI agent. You say what you need and your budget. Each developer sends an offer, and you choose. Or write to us, and we help you find the right developer.
