How the session runs
- 01
Plan 30 min
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.
- 02
Design in Claude 45 min
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.
- 03
Code 90 min
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.
- 04
Deploy 30 min
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.
Included
- The half-day workshop
- Lunch
- All reference materials
- Claude Pro access for the day
- 30 days of follow-up questions by email
You leave with a live URL and your own repository. Maximum five people, so everyone gets attention.
Why not just pay someone
- Pay a developer. Thousands of pounds for a site you cannot update yourself. Every small change needs a quote and a wait.
- Use a website builder. Wix, Squarespace and their kind give you control but cap what is possible and keep hold of your data.
The third option is the one nobody offers you: build it yourself, in a morning, on the same stack a professional developer would use. That is what this is.
The stack you leave knowing
- Next.js. The same framework used by Vercel, Linear and thousands of production sites. Fast, flexible, yours.
- Tailwind CSS. Utility-first styling that makes changing the design straightforward, with no fighting with stylesheets.
- Claude Code. Your pair programmer. Describe what you want in plain English; Claude writes the code, you make the decisions.
- Vercel. One-click deployment on a free tier. Your site is live in under five minutes.
Bring with you
- A laptop (Mac or Windows)
- VS Code installed, free at code.visualstudio.com
- A GitHub account, free at github.com
- A Vercel account, free at vercel.com
- An idea of what your website is for
Not for you if
- You need a complete production website for a large business. We can build that for you
- You are looking for a general introduction to AI rather than a specific build experience
- You do not have access to a laptop

Questions people ask
How much coding experience do I need to attend?
None. Claude Code does the heavy lifting. You need to be able to describe what you want clearly, and that is a skill we teach in the first phase of the workshop.
What technology stack will we use?
Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Vercel for deployment. This is the same stack used to build okapiandco.co.uk itself. It is fast, modern, and you will own your code.
Will I actually have a live website at the end of the workshop?
Yes. That is the point. You will deploy to Vercel during the workshop and leave with a real URL you can share.
Can I keep building after the workshop?
Absolutely. The code lives in your own GitHub repository. You can continue developing it yourself using Claude Code, or hand it to a developer.
How many people are in each workshop?
Maximum five. That is intentional. Everyone gets individual attention and the pace can flex to the group.
Do you run online or remote sessions?
Not currently. The in-person format is part of what makes the workshop work. Being in the room with Jim and a small group accelerates learning in a way video calls cannot replicate.
What is included in the price?
The workshop itself, lunch, all reference materials, Claude Pro access for the day, and 30 days of follow-up questions by email. The price is £150 per person, excluding VAT.
What is the Plan, Design, Code, Deploy method?
It is a four-phase methodology for building websites with AI. Phase 1 (Plan) defines the site structure before touching any code. Phase 2 (Design in Claude) uses Claude to generate layouts and components visually. Phase 3 (Code) builds the site with Claude Code as a pair programmer. Phase 4 (Deploy) pushes the site live to Vercel. The method means you never start from a blank screen.
Private session, or a question first?
Teams and one-to-ones both work. Tell us what you are after and we will sort out a date and a price.
