Is my current workflow sufficient?

Hi, I’m currently using Claude and ChatGPT Sol to create my website.

My website is quite the complex website, and I’m currently, but irrelevantly creating a server to support it. However, I’m wondering if my current setup with Claude and Chat is sufficient? As it is now, my personal funds and income can’t support the Max subscriptions for the two AIs, and I’m just wondering if I could be doing anything differently or use more power for the website.

So as of now, I’m not known to Any coding language, but I’m using Node and JS, as well as using Docker and many other coding tools. My current planner for the coding systems itself is my ChatGPT Sol High/Medium. Whilst my coder is my Claude Code. I’m also reading coding theory, web theory, ui theory, etc. to get a feel for my projects as well as getting knowledge so that my website actually gets created by my own premises.

I am also using running Claude Code with heavy restrictions because my website has to comply with heavy privacy requirements. In addition, I am also trying to write the design plan myself; as to not get that ugly and plain Ai slop websites.

So all in all my question is as follows:

As a person who has absolutely no knowledge of coding language and protocols when building. How do I personally optimise my work? And which AIs should I use, and should I use more?

TLDR: I’m building a fairly complex, privacy-sensitive website despite having no formal coding experience. I currently use ChatGPT Sol High/Medium for planning, architecture and research, while Claude Code handles most of the actual coding. I’m also learning related theory so I can understand what is being built rather than blindly relying on AI. I can’t currently afford the highest-tier subscriptions, so I’m wondering: Is this setup sufficient enough, or am I leaving too much wasted possibility on the table?
