Building Websites With AI and Claude Code - 101
A 75-Minute Interactive Workshop and QA Session
Most websites today are built on platforms that have become increasingly complex and difficult to manage.
They rely on dozens of plugins, constant updates, expensive subscriptions, and layers of technology that make even simple changes frustrating.
But AI is changing everything.
In this 75-minute workshop, you'll discover how the next generation of websites is being built using AI tools like Claude Code; and why this shift is one of the biggest opportunities for entrepreneurs, creators, and small businesses.
We'll explore what it means to move beyond traditional website builders and outdated systems into a modern, AI-assisted approach to web development. Instead of wrestling with plugins and limitations, you'll see how AI can help you build, customize, and evolve a website that truly works for your business.
Together, we'll cover:
Why AI is fundamentally changing how websites are designed and built
How Claude Code can dramatically accelerate website development
What today's AI tools can do, and where their limitations still exist
The technologies and concepts you need to understand to build with confidence
Why understanding the fundamentals still matters in an AI-powered world
Live demonstrations showing how websites can be built and modified with AI
Open discussion and Q&A
This isn't about replacing web developers or expecting AI to magically build the perfect website.
It's about learning a new way of building; one where AI becomes your engineering partner, helping you create better websites faster while giving you more control over your online presence.
Imagine having a website that isn't locked behind complicated page builders or dependent on dozens of plugins.
Imagine being able to describe the changes you want in plain English and having AI help implement them. Imagine owning a website that's faster, simpler, easier to maintain, and built around your business instead of the limitations of a platform.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, coach, freelancer, agency owner, or simply curious about where web development is headed, this workshop will give you a practical introduction to building websites in the age of AI.
The future of websites is here now, and it's about becoming easier to build, easier to evolve, and finally working with you instead of against you.
