"Instead of starting the vibe code process from Figma or Sketch designs, you can cut straight to your live product. Vibe coding directly on your website avoids duplicate effort (e.g., creating the same UI mockup with slight variations), and keeps the user's context that gets lost in design tools. This results in prototypes that not only look realistic, but behave like the actual product - making them easier to validate with both users and stakeholders."
"Messy code: Depending on the tool, vibe coding can generate code that's great for exploration but is not production-ready; developers will need to evaluate and possibly rebuild the code. Security risks: When working with live sites or sites with required user sign-in, you need to be careful about exposing sensitive data like user info, tokens, or private content. Not scalable for large systems: Vibe coding works well for small tweaks and user flows, but is not a replacement for building complex features or keeping consistency across platforms."
Vibe coding on a live website lets teams modify spacing, colors, and user flows directly on the product, eliminating duplicate mockup work and accelerating iteration. Prototypes preserve real behaviors such as hover states, responsiveness, and navigation, which improves realism and testing confidence. Vibe coding enables viewing mobile and desktop breakpoints within the product context. Downsides include generated code that may be messy and not production-ready, potential exposure of sensitive data when working on authenticated sites, and limited suitability for building complex, large-scale features or maintaining consistency across platforms.
