How to build a website with Claude Code · A full guide. Which tools to install, 3 design methods, skills that turn generic AI sites into premium ones, and deployment to Vercel. Without writing a single line of code.
Until today, building a website required one of two things · hiring a programmer and paying thousands of shekels, or struggling with a cumbersome website builder and ending up with something that looks like a template. Claude Code changes the whole equation. You open Claude, talk to it for 30 seconds about what you want on the site, and it builds it. Within a few minutes, you have a live website with images, buttons, a gallery, a contact form, and a WhatsApp button · without writing a single line of code. This guide answers the exact question of how to build a website with Claude Code · from the initial installations to a live website on the internet. We will cover 3 design methods, the skills that turn a regular site into a premium site, and cloud deployment. Step by step.
What you will have by the end of the guide
- A live website on the internet · with a temporary Vercel address (you can connect your own domain later)
- An organized workflow with Claude Code · knowing how to provide a prompt, work in Plan Mode, and when to approve
- Design methods in your toolkit · free transcription to Claude, inspiration from an existing site, and components from 21st.dev
- Skills installed on Claude · a site with accessibility, privacy, and premium design rather than generic AI
- Full code backup on GitHub · if something breaks, you can roll back with a click
- A ready database infrastructure in Supabase · if you want to collect emails, orders, or any information
What is Claude Code and why it beats every website builder
Step 1 · The 3 tools to install before starting
Vercel
Cloud deployment · The site is live on the internet
The default for website deployment. Without Vercel, the site Claude builds for you will only sit on your computer at localhost:3000 · no one else will see it. As soon as you tell Claude to deploy to Vercel, it pushes the code, deploys to the cloud, and returns a public address that you can share.
Tip for agents: After registering, go back to Claude → Customize → Connectors → Browse Connectors → Vercel → Connect. This is how Claude deploys websites with a single click.
Supabase
Database · Memory for the website
Postgres + Auth + Storage. Instead of running a server to save emails, orders, or any information · Supabase gives you all of this with a click. If you want a contact form that saves all submissions, a mailing list, or a small store · this is the software responsible for storing the data.
Tip for agents: Like Vercel · connect the connector in Customize → Connectors. Connector name: Supabase. The free account is enough for 99% of personal projects.
GitHub
Code backup · Like Google Drive for your website
GitHub stores all of the website code online. If something breaks, if Claude made a mistake that cannot be undone, or if you want to work on the site from another computer · GitHub saves the entire history. Whenever you want · tell Claude to back up to GitHub and it pushes the latest version.
Tip for agents: Repositories are saved as Private by default · only you have access. If you want to share the code with another developer · you can switch to Public with a click.
💡 All three tools together · cost zero shekels for beginners. Only if you want a site with high traffic (thousands of users a day) or an unusually large database · then there are paid plans. For 99% of personal and small business projects · the free tier is enough.
Step 2 · How to open a new project in Claude

This guide gave you the basics. In the full Claude Code workshop, we build together step by step: installation, CLAUDE.md, skills, agents, and a live website in the air. 4 recorded sessions, lifetime access.
Step 3 · Method 1 · Throwing everything that comes to mind at Claude
Sample prompt for Claude Code (to copy and edit)
I want to build a website suitable for shoe insoles. I want the site to match my style · futuristic, breathing, with clear fonts and very clear contrast. Shades: monochrome · white, black, gray. Futuristic blue accent. As little visual clutter as possible. I want images of athletes and running soldiers, so people understand the direction. I want customer reviews · people rating from Google and recommending the product. If I do not have this · just leave an empty placeholder for me to fill in myself. I want a floating WhatsApp button so people can reach a representative as quickly as possible. In the Hero section · I want an image of a floating insole in space. If you cannot generate such an image · create a prompt to feed into an image model. Work in Plan Mode. Show me the plan. After I approve · proceed to build.
🎯 Important · Always start in Plan Mode (button at the bottom of Claude). This saves heaps of tokens · Claude presents a work plan before running to build, and you can correct it before he invests effort. In Plan Mode, you see all the colors, fonts, and section order · and then you approve.
Step 4 · Method 2 · Inspiration from an existing site
Prompt to feed into Claude along with the inspiration image and link (to copy)
Check deeply the elements, DOM, sources. Then start to create section by section, one by one, in all aspects · HTML, CSS, JS. Reference site: [Paste the inspiration site link here] [In addition · drag the Full Page image into Claude] Work in Plan Mode. Show me the plan · which sections you are starting with, in what order, which components you are duplicating. After I approve · proceed to build. Build the site part by part, not all at once · this way it will come out closer to the original.
⚠️ This is inspiration · not copying. You take the visual and the structure, but replace the content, images, and products with your own. Colors and fonts can also be replaced. This is how the site looks professional like a site you loved · but it is yours.
Step 5 · Method 3 · Components from 21st.dev (Frankenstein method)
Workflow with 21st.dev
- Go to 21st.dev and register with Google (5 seconds)
- Browse categories · Hero, Buttons, Cards, Galleries, Animations
- Find a component you like · view a live preview on the page
- Click the blue Copy Prompt button at the top
- Return to Claude, paste, and press Enter
- Claude builds the component on the site · check at localhost:3000 that it looks like 21st showed
The full Claude Code workshop brings everything together in one place: installation, skills, agents, and website building. 4 recorded sessions with lifetime access.
Step 6 · Skills · The difference between generic AI and a premium site
⚖️ Especially important · Accessibility and privacy. In Israel, a website that does not comply with the accessibility standard (SI 5568) exposes the owner to a lawsuit of up to 50,000 shekels. A privacy policy is mandatory under the Privacy Protection Law. These are not optional · they are a legal requirement. Skills solve this with a click.
agentskills.co.il
Israeli skills repository
The Israeli repository · skills adapted to Israeli regulation (privacy, accessibility), the Hebrew language, and the local market. All skills are free. It is worth reviewing everything before starting a new site for Israelis · especially Israeli Privacy Shield, Israeli Accessibility Compliance, and Hebrew Content Writer.
Tip for agents: Copy the black installation command from the skill page, paste it into Claude, and Claude installs it. The skill then appears in Customize → Skills.
skills.sh
Official Anthropic repository · Thousands of skills
The main repository for community skills. Browse by category (Website, Marketing, Productivity), find a skill, and check that it has a Trust Hub Pass label (code has been reviewed and is safe). The UI/UX Pro Max skill is especially worthwhile · 50 design styles, 161 color palettes, and 57 font pairs.
Tip for agents: Always check for the Trust Hub Pass label before installing · This prevents downloading a skill that might perform unwanted actions on your computer.
Step 7 · Deployment · The website is live on the internet
Want to master Claude Code from scratch?
This guide gave you the foundation. In the complete Claude Code workshop, we build together step by step: installation, CLAUDE.md, skills, agents, and a live website. 4 recorded sessions, lifetime access.
✅ That is it · You have a live website on the internet built with Claude Code, without writing a single line of code. From here you can continue to improve · add pages, connect a lead form to Supabase, or add a blog. Any change · simply tell Claude, and it executes and redeploys.

FAQ · How to build a website with Claude Code
Yes, and that is exactly the point. Claude Code writes all the code behind the scenes · You just describe in plain language what you want on the website. No technical knowledge, learning a programming language, or understanding of how websites are built is required. If you know how to describe what you want · you can build a website.
A basic website or landing page can be published in less than an hour · including initial installations. Once the tools are installed, building a new website takes a few minutes, and improvements are made in real time. A more complex website with many pages and functions can take a few cumulative hours of work.
The required tools (Vercel, Supabase, GitHub) are free for beginners and sufficient for 99% of personal and small business projects. The only cost is a Claude subscription, and if needed, a paid domain (a few dozen shekels a year). This compares to thousands of shekels a programmer charges for a website.
With a website builder, you are limited to the templates and components the system allows. With Claude Code, there is no limit · Any feature you saw on a leading website can be requested and Claude will build it, and the website remains entirely yours (code backed up on GitHub). In addition, design control is much more precise · Every detail is changed in a normal conversation.
Only if you add it. An Israeli website must comply with accessibility standard IS 5568 and the Privacy Protection Law, otherwise there is exposure to a lawsuit of up to 50,000 shekels. The solution is to install dedicated skills (like Israeli Accessibility Compliance and Israeli Privacy Shield from the agentskills.co.il repository) · Claude automatically implements accessibility, privacy policy, and a cookie banner.
That is exactly why we back up to GitHub. Every time something works well, you tell Claude 'back up to GitHub'. If later Claude makes a mistake that cannot be fixed · you revert to the previous version saved on GitHub with a click. This is the safety net that allows experimenting without fear.
This guide is the foundation. In the Claude Code workshop, we build everything from scratch, step by step, together · Installation and setup, building Skills, a live WhatsApp agent, and a full bonus session on building websites using 3 methods (Vibe Coding, Inspiration, 21st.dev). 4 recorded sessions with lifetime access, and all skills and prompts ready for copy-paste. If you want to build websites with Claude Code properly · this is the place to start.
