The big picture

Claude sets up a modern website (Next.js + Tailwind), then builds each page exactly as described in your site-architecture.md, styled with your brand from brand-strategy.md. It runs the site on a private preview link (localhost) that only you can see, so you can review and refine before anyone else does.

Paste this into Claude Code

Build my website

Let's do Stage 3 — build my website. Please follow your frontend-design and copywriting skills, and build
from my site-architecture.md and brand-strategy.md:

1. Set up a new Next.js + Tailwind website in this project.
2. Build my homepage and every other page exactly as described in site-architecture.md — the sections,
   the copy, and the design instructions — using my brand colors, fonts, and logo.
3. Make it look great on phones as well as desktop.
4. Start the local preview and give me the link so I can see it.
5. Save a snapshot when the first version is working.

Explain what you're doing in simple terms, and approve nothing destructive without telling me.

Then review and refine, in plain English

Open the localhost link in your browser and tell Claude what to adjust. Real examples:

  • “Make the hero headline bigger and bolder.”
  • “Add more space between the sections — it feels cramped.”
  • “Use my accent color for the buttons.”
  • “This section looks off — here’s a screenshot — the spacing is uneven.” (You can drag a screenshot right into Claude.)
Save snapshots as you go

Whenever the site reaches a good spot, say “save a snapshot.” It’s your reset button — if a later change goes wrong, you can always roll back. Build fearlessly.

If Claude pauses for “usage limits”

On the Pro plan, a long build day might hit a “limit reached” message. Don’t panic — your work is saved in your files and snapshots. The limit resets after a short break; just reopen the project later and say “where did we leave off?” to continue.

End of Module 4 — your website exists

You have a complete, branded, mobile-friendly website running on your computer. It’s real — you can click through every page. Next we’ll polish it and make sure it’s flawless on every screen.

If you get stuck

Setup or a change throwing an error? Copy the error and paste it to Claude: “This didn’t work — please fix it.” Errors during a build are completely normal and Claude resolves them quickly.
