Build a Website with Claude: A Beginner’s Workflow

Reusable prompt
Create a small responsive service website with home, services, and contact pages using [technology]. Use this approved content: [content]. Keep navigation consistent and make forms honest about their implementation. Explain the files changed and how to preview locally. Do not overwrite hosting configuration or add unsupported service claims.

Review checklist
- All navigation links reach the intended page.
- Mobile content fits without horizontal page overflow.
- Forms and buttons accurately reflect implemented behavior.

Suggested steps
1. Define pages, content, and primary visitor actions. Write the actual headings and service details so Claude does not invent business claims or substitute generic placeholder material.
2. Request a small working structure using your chosen technology. Explain the existing folder layout and ask it to preserve configuration files and content outside the agreed change.
3. Review the first local preview for navigation and content flow. Fix missing sections and unclear calls to action before adding elaborate animations, decorative graphics, or extra functionality.
4. Test responsive behavior and interactive controls. Check small screens, keyboard navigation, image loading, form validation, and whether any success message corresponds to a real completed action.
5. Prepare deployment with a backup and an explicit file list. Preserve live-only configuration and data, then verify the public site after upload rather than assuming local success guarantees production behavior.
