Free CourseBuild a Website

Start here

Create your project folder

6 min

Every project needs a home. You’ll make one dedicated folder for your whole website. Keeping everything in one place is what makes this tidy and easy to undo — and it means the work Claude does is all in one spot you can see.

2website-revamp folderWhere everything for your site lives

3Your website projectBuild Kit + every file of your site lives here

Make the folder

  1. On your Desktop, create a new folder and name it website-revamp (lowercase, no spaces).
  2. That’s it — leave it empty for now. In the next module you’ll drop your Build Kit into it.

Open it in Claude Code

  • Desktop app: in the Code tab, choose Local (that just means “use the files on my own computer”), then click Select folder and pick your website-revamp folder.
  • Terminal: type cd Desktop/website-revamp then claude.
Keep everything in this one folder

One clean, separate folder is what keeps this tidy and easy to find later. Don’t point Claude at your Desktop itself or your whole Documents folder — just this website-revamp folder.

What success looks like

Claude Code is open, pointed at your empty website-revamp folder, with a chat box ready. You’re one module away from building.
