Design & Build

Go from brand kit to landing page, website, app MVP and Shopify store, built with AI and held to a design standard.

Sites, apps and stores now cost a chat message to build. What AI didn't automate is taste: knowing what good looks like and refusing to ship less. This series builds both.

Ten volumes cover why taste is the job, a one-page brand kit, building with Claude artifacts, landing pages that convert, a full website in a day, app MVPs without code, Shopify from scratch, the product page masterclass, the store system around it, and launching and iterating.
