- What you'll use
- Claude Design or Open Design · Claude Code or Codex · GitHub · Vercel
- What you'll have
- A live website with a public URL, with its code stored in GitHub and connected for automatic updates.
- Why it matters
- Something you can genuinely send to a client, employer, or your own customers.
What you'll walk away able to do
Practical skills built through the roadmap above.

- Add a new page to a published site and keep improving it on your own
After the course

- A free GitHub and Vercel account (created together during the course)

All video lessons, interactive lesson notes, and the final project submission — at your own pace, for free.
No. GitHub and Vercel are free, but Claude Design and Claude Code need a paid Claude plan (or a ChatGPT plan for the alternative path). This is made clear before you need to pay for anything.
