Congrats to four alumni from my Foundations of Claude Code workshop for taking their websites live...
A financial consultant. An industrial specialist. A systems builder. A professional documenting her transformation.
A financial consultant. An industrial specialist. A systems builder. A professional documenting her transformation.
Three of them are not software engineers. A few weeks ago, some had barely touched a Terminal. The fourth is a senior software engineer who came to strengthen his foundation. This week, all four own live websites. Custom domains, contact forms, the works.
The most common myth about Claude Code is that it is for techies. It is not.
The two real barriers are mindset and setup. Mindset, because a Terminal looks like a developer tool, so people count themselves out before trying. Setup, because the first hour throws unfamiliar things at you, like API keys and access tokens. None of it is hard with a clear step-by-step guide. You do it once, and it is behind you.
Wondering why setup needs so many steps? I wrote about what API keys and access tokens are, and why each one is necessary:
Fun fact: four of the five sites came out cream, with nobody coordinating. Cream is trending now. Designers call it tech humanism. Claude, ChatGPT, and many new tech sites wear it. Some say it is a tell that Claude Code built the site, one to add to the AI patterns to avoid. Others say who cares, as long as it looks nice.
But the colour is not the point. The people are.
Check out what they built and vote for your favourite in the comments to help them win a portable monitor.

Want to learn the foundations of Claude Code by building and shipping your own website? That is exactly what the workshop is for. It is designed for non-techies who have never touched a Terminal or written code before. The 18 June cohort is full. The next two are on 2 July and 16 July.
