Free preview: Welcome: What You'll Build

The outcome, the shape of the course, and how the one-session way of working keeps everything simple.

What you'll get done: Understand exactly what you're building and how this course works, so nothing that follows feels like a surprise.

Before you start: Nothing. A computer (Windows or Mac) and about an hour a day.

The honest version of what's ahead

By the end you'll have a real, live website that you own. On the internet, secure by default, with your branding, your real content, and a working contact form. Not a rented page on someone else's platform. Not a pretty-but-leaky knock-off. A proper site, built by you.

Here's the part that surprises people: you won't write a single line of code. You'll talk to a tool called Claude Code in plain English, the way you'd brief a capable assistant, and it does the building. Each thing you type to it is called a prompt. Your job is to know what to ask and how to check it worked. That's the whole skill, and this course teaches it step by step.

A quick map of how it fits together

Get Set Up. Install Claude Code, sign in, and learn to drive it from your desk or your phone.
Build Your Site. Hand Claude Code the website factory and watch a complete, secure site appear and go live.
Your Brand and Content. Capture your real business, your name, look and true words, so the site is genuinely yours, not AI filler.
Make It Look Like Yours. Pick a look, generate design options, and polish it.
Capture Leads. Switch on the contact form so it emails you real enquiries.
Polish, Launch and Get Found. Proofread, add analytics and SEO, get a domain, launch, and get onto Google.

One session, no folder juggling

One thing that makes this course different from most: you run one Claude Code session and let it manage everything. You never go poking around in folders, and you never "change directory". You open Claude Code, and from then on you simply tell it what you want. It makes and manages the folders itself. That keeps your life simple, especially when you're driving from your phone.

Accounts come later, not now

You do not create any service accounts in this module. Every account your site needs (GitHub, Vercel, Cloudflare, Resend, Google Analytics) is created later in the course, at the exact step that needs it, and almost all of them with a single "Continue with Google" click. All you need for now is a Google (Gmail) address you're happy to attach your business tools to.

What it costs (straight up)

Claude subscription: about $20 a month (Claude Pro, the plan we recommend). This is the one thing you pay for to learn.
Everything else, to learn: free. GitHub, Vercel, Resend and Cloudflare all have free tiers we use to build and test.
To actually run a business site once live: budget roughly $20-40 a month, because the free tiers are for learning and non-commercial use. We'll be honest about this again before you launch. (Always check each provider's current terms; they change.)
A custom domain: about $15-20 a year.

If you get stuck and can't get it done yourself, reply to any course email and I'll jump on a screen share and help you finish it. That offer stands through every lesson.

Before the next lesson

I know I'll be guiding Claude Code, not hand-coding.
I know I use one session and Claude Code manages folders. I never change directory.
I'm okay with roughly $20 a month to learn and $20-40 a month to run a real site.
