S2. Ep40 - How to Build Your Business Website With Claude Code (No Coding Skills Needed)

Don't let the word "code" put you off. If you can chat to Claude and describe what you want, you can build your own business website with Claude Code. We've just rebuilt the Make Automations website this way, and Noel walks through exactly how we did it. The full site came together in around four hours (most of which was Claude working while Noel had his dinner). It includes its own content management system, branded Stripe payment pages, and SEO and AI search optimisation that took us to over 2,000 Google impressions and 191 AI citations in less than a month. Go and take a look at makeautomations.ai and tell us honestly: can you tell it was built with AI? Noel covers why you'd choose Claude Code over Wix, Squarespace or WordPress, how technical you actually need to be (building is easy, publishing with GitHub and Vercel is where Claude holds your hand), and the biggest misconceptions, including why one prompt won't get you an award-winning design. He also explains why Claude responds better to feelings than instructions, how Claude Design now gives you mockups inside Claude Code, what it all really costs, and how to make changes, check your site on mobile and avoid the purple gradients that give away an AI-built website. Katie asks who actually owns a website built with AI. For the legal side of AI-generated content, go back to Season 1, Episode 19 with UK lawyer Lucy Wheeler. Plus the week's news: Anthropic's long overdue Haiku 5.5, which would have been a frontier model in April at a fraction of the price, and Google's SynthID AI detector (and how Noel's Claude-built images get past it).
