The Claude Code Starter Pack: Build Your First Website
⚙️ Claude Code sounds intimidating. It isn't. Most AI-built websites look like AI built them. These don't.
Willa events are $39 for non-members and free to members of The Willa Collective (annual and monthly plans available). Join us!
Carley Hart spent $2,100 and 18 months on a website that looked like a template with her photos dropped in. She was close to tabling her business — Brushing Buddies, a children's oral health brand — entirely.
Then Anthropic launched Claude Design. She rebuilt the whole site in 35 hours. Total spend: $20.
She's walking us through exactly how she did it. The prompts. The process. The decisions that made the difference between "AI built this in an hour" and a site that looks like a real brand.
About Carley
Carley Hart is Director of Partnerships at Runway Startups at Cornell Tech, co-founder of AI Trailmates, and an I-Corps Instructor with the National Science Foundation. She's also the founder of Brushing Buddies, the children's oral health brand she rebuilt from the ground up using Claude Design and Claude Code — turning a stalled two-year project into a live store in 35 hours.
You'll walk away knowing:
How to use Claude Design + Claude Code together to build a real website (not a template)
The mega-prompt Carley used to brief Claude on her brand
How to spot the difference between "AI-looking" output and professional design — and how to push Claude past the first
What 35 hours of work actually looks like, step by step
When to use Claude Code vs. when to hand off to a developer
This event is for:
Anyone curious about Claude Design or Claude Code — even if (especially if) the names sound a little intimidating. Whether you're ready to build something, just heard about these tools and want to see what they actually do, or want a peek at how a real founder is using them day-to-day, you belong here.
No website project required, no tech background expected. Come watch, ask questions, and walk away with a clearer sense of what these tools can do.
