Module 2 · Make your first change (the safe way)

Work safely: plan first, and undo anything

Here’s what lets you experiment without fear: two safety habits. Preview everything first (you’re already doing this), and know that every change can be undone. Let’s make both rock-solid — and add one trick for bigger changes.

For bigger changes: ask for the plan first

For anything beyond a quick tweak — a new page, a redesigned section — have Claude explain its plan before it touches anything. You approve, then it builds. This catches misunderstandings early.

I want to make a bigger change: [ describe what you want, e.g. "add a new 'Services' page with three services" ].

Before you change anything, walk me through your plan in plain English — what you'll add or change, and
where. Wait for me to say "go ahead" before you start. Then make it on my private preview only.

Your undo button: Git

Remember Git from setup? It quietly saves snapshots of your work. That means any change can be rolled back — even after you’ve moved on. You never have to worry about “breaking” your site, because you can always go back to a version that worked.

I've changed my mind about the last change — please undo it and put things back the way they were before,
on my private preview. Explain what you're doing in simple terms as you go.

Before we try something experimental, please save a snapshot of my site as it is right now, so we can easily
come back to this exact version if we don't like where we end up. Tell me when it's saved.
