By the end of the workshop you will have
- A working Next.js project set up on your own computer
- A homepage with your own content, headline, and brand colours
- Your site deployed live on Vercel with a real URL
- A basic understanding of how to add and edit pages yourself
- A clear picture of what AI tools like Claude Code can and cannot do for you
- Enough knowledge to have an informed conversation with any web developer
You do not need to be technical. You do not need to know how to code. You need a laptop, a willingness to try things, and a rough idea of what you want your website to say.
What the day looks like
Morning: Setup and foundations
We get everyone's environment set up: Node.js, VS Code, Claude Code, and a GitHub account. We look at a live Next.js project and understand what the files actually do. No jargon.
Build: Your homepage
Using Claude Code as your co-pilot, you write your first prompts and start building your homepage. We help you describe what you want clearly so Claude produces something useful.
Deploy: Your site goes live
We connect your project to Vercel and deploy it to a live URL. You will have something real to show people by lunchtime.
Afternoon: Q&A and next steps
We discuss what you have built, what you would change, and what a sensible path forward looks like for your specific website goals. Open Q&A.

- Run or manage a small business and have some responsibility for the website
- Are curious about AI and want to see what it can actually do
- Have tried website builders like Wix or Squarespace and wanted more control
- Are a freelancer or consultant who could use a clean, professional site
- Want to reduce your dependency on expensive developers for small changes
