Start here
Create your project folder
Every project needs a home. You’ll make one dedicated folder for your whole website — it’s also a “safe room,” because Claude Code only ever touches files inside the folder you open.
Make the folder
- On your Desktop, create a new folder and name it
website-revamp(lowercase, no spaces). - That’s it — leave it empty for now. In the next module you’ll drop your Build Kit into it.
Open it in Claude Code
- Desktop app: start a new session and, where it asks which folder to work in (the “project folder”), choose your
website-revampfolder. If you’re not sure where that setting is, just ask Claude “how do I open my project folder?” — it’ll point you to it. - Terminal: type
cd Desktop/website-revampthenclaude.
Keep everything in this one folder
This single dedicated folder is what keeps everything safe and tidy. Don’t use your Desktop itself or your whole Documents folder — just this clean, separate website-revamp folder.
What success looks like
Claude Code is open, pointed at your empty website-revamp folder, with a chat box ready. You’re one module away from building.
