Why
In 2026 anyone can have a website in thirty seconds. Most of them look the same: a purple gradient, three icon cards, a quote from Sarah J., a button that goes nowhere. That is not a crime. Shipping it as finished work, and charging for it, is a choice, and this library is where that choice is documented.
The problem is not the tools. Generated pages are first drafts, and some first drafts are fine. The problem is that nobody reads them. Not the founder, not the agency that billed for it, not once. The library collects the result and names what gave it away, so that the next person looking at a draft knows what to fix.
Who
Alex Kukharenko runs it. He is a designer and the founder of Pixeldarts, a German design agency for AI and cybersecurity companies. That is the whole disclosure: the library is editorial, the agency is named here and in the footer, and no entry page sells anything. Pixeldarts does not appear on entries, and competing agencies are never scored as agencies.
How a verdict is made
Every entry is scored against the same 39 tells in six families: layout, visual style, imagery, copy, interaction and technology, trust and identity. Strong tells count 12 points, medium 7, weak 3. Honesty credits, the signs that a person made a choice, take points off, and 3 of them cap the verdict at "Lazy, but human". Certified slop needs tells from at least three families and one strong copy or trust tell, unless a smoking gun such as live placeholder text settles it. The arithmetic is public on the Tells page, where you can run it on any site yourself.
A verdict is an opinion about design decisions visible on a dated screenshot. Entries say a site "looks like" a builder's output when its badge, domain or defaults are visible; they never state as fact that a site was made with a particular tool, because that cannot be known from the outside.
What is not slop
A plain, boring, honest site. A template used well, with real content. A solo founder's first version that says it is a first version. A single tell used on purpose as a style. Being simple is not a crime, and the bottom two verdicts exist to say so in writing.
Is building a website with AI slop?
No. A generated page is a first draft, and some first drafts are fine. It becomes slop when it ships unread: the defaults unchanged, the placeholders live, the numbers and the customers invented. The library scores what is visible on the page, never the tool, because the tool cannot be known from the outside.
Disputes, replies and removals
Owners of named sites are written to before an entry is published. Every entry has a dispute link that opens an email to check@aislopwebsites.com. Disputes are answered within seven days. Replies are printed on the entry in full and unedited. Sites that were fixed are re-scored; entries whose facts no longer hold come down. Nothing is removed for money, ever.
Screenshots are cropped to what the entry discusses, dated, and attributed to the source site. Faces, names of private individuals and contact details are blurred. Sole traders, freelancers and local services are anonymised by default.
The site itself
Static pages built with Astro, hosted on Vercel, no cookies, no database, and no visit counting unless you say yes in the banner. Submissions arrive by email. The look is the sticker-pop style Pixeldarts built for its own projects, and yes, it is black and acid green, which is now on the list of tells. We know.
