### AI overview

The article presents the "Ghost Site Resurrector" strategy for junior web designers: identify local businesses with neglected websites, create a visual redesign mockup using tools such as Framer AI or Wix Harmony, and use the transformation to sell website refresh projects. It claims this approach can generate $1,000-$2,000 per project with less than four hours of total engagement.

### Source excerpt

Most websites aren't broken--they're just abandoned. That forgotten, outdated site sitting on page two of Google could be a $1,500 opportunity hiding in plain sight. Welcome to the Ghost Site Resurrector strategy--where neglected businesses become your fastest path to cash.

### AI overview

A personal account of a developer's second day during Winter Break of Code, including work on a responsive website refresh. The article describes restructuring website URLs and pages, refactoring content into partials, converting CSS to Sass, and merging pull requests.

### Source excerpt
