Most people who want a website face the same two bad options.
Thousands of pounds for a site you cannot update yourself. Every small change needs a quote and a wait.
Wix, Squarespace, and their kind give you control but cap your possibilities and own your data.
There is a third way. Use Claude Code as your coding partner and build a real, professional website — in a morning. You own the code. You own the data. You can keep building yourself.
Plan → Design → Code → Deploy
Four phases. Every workshop follows this structure. It means you never start from a blank screen — and you always end with something real.
Before a single line of code, we map your site. What pages do you need? What do you want visitors to do? What makes you different? A clear plan means Claude produces something useful rather than generic.
Use Claude to design your layout, choose your components, and establish your brand identity — all in plain English. You see your site take shape before any code is written. No Figma. No guesswork.
Build it, component by component, with Claude Code as your pair programmer. Tailwind CSS handles the styling. Next.js handles the structure. You handle the decisions — Claude handles the syntax.
Push to GitHub, deploy to Vercel, point your domain. Your site is live before lunch. You leave with a real URL, your own repository, and the knowledge to keep building.
A real website. Deployed. Before lunch.
Not a template. Not a mockup. A working Next.js site, deployed on Vercel, with a real URL you can share the same day.
- →Homepage with your own content and brand colours
- →About page that tells your story
