Turn Claude Into A Design GENIUS In 3 Simple Steps — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00I'm going to teach you how to defeat the
- 0:01monster known as AI slop in three simple
- 0:04steps. Now, AI slop has taken a number
- 0:06of forms over the years, and it wasn't
- 0:08too long ago that it looked something
- 0:10like this. A generic SaaS template with
- 0:13Inter font everywhere and blue purple
- 0:15gradients. But now, AI slop looks
- 0:18something like this. This is definitely
- 0:19better, but it still screams AI. It has
- 0:22a specific color palette, a specific
- 0:24font, just a general style that right
- 0:26away you can tell this was generated in
- 0:28just a prompt or two. But today, I'm
- 0:30going to show you how to break out of
- 0:31this mold. I'm going to teach you how to
- 0:33cultivate and inject your own taste into
- 0:35the web design process. I'm going to
- 0:36show you what sort of skills and MCPs
- 0:39you need to begin using to help you in
- 0:41that endeavor. And lastly, I'm going to
- 0:43show you the exact sort of build
- 0:45sequence you need to begin applying to
- 0:47this. What are the prompts we should be
- 0:48using? How should we be prototyping?
- 0:50What does it mean to iterate and tweak
- 0:51our web design until we get something we
- 0:53actually like? And by the end, you're
- 0:55going to have a flexible roadmap that
- 0:56you can apply to all of your AI design
- 0:58work. So, let's get started. AI has no
- 1:01taste. Now, this is a phrase you've
- 1:02definitely heard of before, but it's an
- 1:03important one, and it's what step one is
- 1:04all about because step one is figuring
- 1:06out how do we cultivate taste? How do we
- 1:08curate it? How do we bring that into the
- 1:11web design process? Because the problem
- 1:13with this website and this website isn't
- 1:14a technical one, it's simply generic.
- 1:17And no matter how good the models get,
- 1:18they could get 10 times better tomorrow,
- 1:20it'll just change what we consider to be
- 1:22generic. But instead, if we are able to
- 1:24inject our taste into the design
- 1:27process, we are going to be able to
- 1:28create something that is unique because
- 1:29it's specific to you, and it's very
- 1:31subjective, but also something that is,
- 1:33quote unquote, good. So, for step one,
- 1:35what we are going to do is we are going
- 1:37to curate a library of design
- 1:40inspiration. This is also going to help
- 1:42us cultivate our own taste. We're going
- 1:43to expose ourselves to a lot of, you
- 1:46know, high-level web design or whatever
- 1:47you want to call it. And once we have
- 1:49this library of stuff we like, you know,
- 1:51this is a reflection of our taste, we
- 1:53can then bring that to AI and use that
- 1:55as the foundation for what we are going
- 1:57to build moving forward instead of
- 1:59relying on nothing and instead just
- 2:01getting an average regression to the
- 2:03mean output. So, where should you go to
- 2:05find inspiration? Well, there's a number
- 2:07of websites that I think do a really
- 2:08good job. What I'm on right now is
- 2:10Dribbble. That's Dribbble with three
- 2:11B's. I just typed in web design, put in
- 2:13popular, and I can see a bunch of
- 2:15different landing pages. Another good
- 2:17one is Pinterest. Again, all as I did
- 2:18was throw in web design and what do I
- 2:20see? I see a bunch of hero pages that
- 2:22are much different than what Claude is
- 2:24going to generate me when I say build me
- 2:26a landing page. And lastly, we got
- 2:27Twitter which I think is my favorite of
- 2:29the bunch because there are a ton of
- 2:30awesome creators in this space that are
- 2:33doing really cool design work and UI
- 2:35stuff that you just aren't going to see
- 2:37anywhere else. And so, your first job is
- 2:38simply to go to these websites, start
- 2:40looking for things you like, and just
- 2:42start screenshotting them, saving them.
- 2:43You can even save links if you have the
- 2:45actual websites themselves. Now, once
- 2:47you do that, you can just leave all
- 2:48those screenshots in a screenshot folder
- 2:50or you can do what I did and have Claude
- 2:51code create a simple web app that's
- 2:53essentially your inspiration library.
- 2:56It's going to put everything in one
- 2:57place, but more importantly, it's going
- 2:59to group them based on design type and
- 3:01you can have it explain what the design
- 3:04even is, what it means, what is the
- 3:05actual vocabulary associated with this
- 3:09design. And when I click on one of these
- 3:10screenshots, it gives me some keywords
- 3:12associated with this design. So, this is
- 3:13something like a Vauxhall rendered
- 3:15landscape. And then down here, I can
- 3:17both copy the image prompt. So, if I
- 3:19wanted to create an image for my hero
- 3:21section in the background like this one,
- 3:22this sort of gives me the foundation for
- 3:24that. And then I also have this button
- 3:25that says copy brief and that's
- 3:26something I would use to actually create
- 3:28the website in its entirety. And we'll
- 3:31go into prompting and all of that in
- 3:33step three. But big picture, step one is
- 3:36cultivating our taste. It's creating
- 3:38this library of inspiration so you don't
- 3:40just have to sit there and come up with
- 3:42something from scratch. Just come up
- 3:43with something, you know, that's been
- 3:45sitting in your brain because when we're
- 3:46just getting started, we're really not
- 3:48good enough for that yet. We need to
- 3:49find stuff that's actually working that
- 3:51we like and use that as our base. Now,
- 3:55step two is all about the external tools
- 3:57we are going to give Claude code so that
- 3:59when we move on to step three, which is
- 4:01actually creating the website, it gives
- 4:03us better outputs right away. And the
- 4:05first one I want to talk about is
- 4:06impeccable, which I think is the best
- 4:09front-end design skill in the game right
- 4:10now. Now, impeccable is an open-source
- 4:12tool. It's got almost 50,000 stars on
- 4:14GitHub. And speaking of GitHub, they now
- 4:16turned it into like an official part of
- 4:19GitHub's AI tool. And it's one skill,
- 4:22but it includes 23 different commands
- 4:25that will essentially improve your web
- 4:27design or your website's components in a
- 4:29number of different ways. So, it's able
- 4:31to, you know, critique any issues. It's
- 4:34able to add additional polish, make it
- 4:35bolder, make it quieter, etc., etc.
- 4:37There's 23 different things. Now, it's
- 4:38kind of impossible to understand what
- 4:39those 23 things do without seeing them
- 4:42in action. But if you go into the actual
- 4:43impeccable website, which is
- 4:45impeccable.style, we can see all those
- 4:4723 different commands over here on the
- 4:49left. So, if I look at bolder, for
- 4:51example, it explains what it does. It
- 4:53pushes safe designs towards impact
- 4:55without sliding into chaos. And over
- 4:57here on the left, this would just be
- 4:59like a standard Claude code output. And
- 5:01if I do impeccable bolder,
- 5:03well, I get something like this. Or if I
- 5:04do something like overdrive, hey,
- 5:07here's, you know, standard Claude code,
- 5:09and then here's impeccable. Or clarify,
- 5:13here's the standard warnings you get,
- 5:15and here's something that is a bit more
- 5:18condensed and easy to understand. And
- 5:20really what impeccable is doing is it's
- 5:21identifying and getting rid of slop. And
- 5:23it does that across really seven
- 5:25different places: typography, color,
- 5:28spatial design, responsiveness,
- 5:29interaction, motion, and actual UX
- 5:31writing. They have an entire section of
- 5:33their website dedicated to slop, and it
- 5:35breaks it down as 46 different patterns.
- 5:38And you can actually run the impeccable
- 5:40CLI, and it will look through everything
- 5:41to see, okay, like, is this, quote
- 5:44unquote, AI slop? And it'll actually
- 5:45show it to you
- 5:47on a dev server. Speaking of a dev
- 5:48server, they also have a live mode, so
- 5:50you can actually bring up your website
- 5:52and you can actually click through it
- 5:54component by component and make
- 5:55adjustments right there live. So, it's
- 5:58almost like Claude design in a in one
- 6:00sense, but it definitely gives you a
- 6:02visual aspect that you can't get if
- 6:04you're using exclusively the terminal.
- 6:06Now, to install this is super easy. It
- 6:07includes a CLI and they give you three
- 6:10different options for installing this
- 6:11thing and if you get confused, just go
- 6:12ahead, copy the URL and drop that in the
- 6:15Claude code and it will install it for
- 6:16you. Now, if you don't really like
- 6:17Impeccable, another one I would suggest
- 6:19is the Taste Skill. They just released
- 6:21their version two, although it's
- 6:23experimental. Again, we can find this on
- 6:25GitHub. It's just under 66,000 stars and
- 6:28sort of works in the same manner. You
- 6:30know, it's going to look for those AI
- 6:32sort of like Slop Tails and instead it's
- 6:35going to give you a stronger layout.
- 6:36It's going to work on the typography,
- 6:37motion, and spacing. And in the end,
- 6:40it's meant to give you something unique
- 6:41instead of a boilerplate looking UI. So,
- 6:43I think these two, the Taste Skill and
- 6:44Impeccable, are the best in the game
- 6:46right now. Definitely a step above the
- 6:48standard Anthropic front-end design and
- 6:50definitely a step above some of the more
- 6:52popular repos like UIUX Pro Max. Now,
- 6:55when we talk about MCPs, the one I use
- 6:56the most is the Higgs Field MCP and this
- 6:58is because it's going to give Claude
- 7:00code capabilities it simply does not
- 7:01have out of the box. Primarily, image
- 7:04creation and video creation. So, the
- 7:06Higgs Field MCP is going to give you
- 7:08access to
- 7:09virtually every single AI image and
- 7:11video generator out there. So, I usually
- 7:13use GPT images two for images and then
- 7:16for video, that's usually bouncing
- 7:18around every few weeks, but right now
- 7:20SeaDance tends to be the best. So, you
- 7:22can also install this as a CLI to
- 7:25actually get here. All you have to do is
- 7:26go to the Higgs Field website,
- 7:28higgsfield.ai, go to MCP and CLI, just
- 7:31copy this, paste it into Claude code,
- 7:33and then it will run you through the
- 7:34authentication process. It also has some
- 7:37skills you can add here as well. And
- 7:39once this is installed, if we're trying
- 7:41to create a website, we're especially if
- 7:43we want to add some sort of like hero
- 7:44imagery, right, in the background, it
- 7:46just calls on the MCP and it will
- 7:48generate it for you. Furthermore, if we
- 7:49want to generate custom assets, this can
- 7:52allow us to do it as well. And one last
- 7:53thing I wanted to talk about isn't
- 7:54really a skill or even an MCP, but that
- 7:56is 21st.dev,
- 7:59and this is kind of something you could
- 8:00probably even throw in step one in terms
- 8:02of the taste thing, but this is all
- 8:04about components. So, let's say I was
- 8:07looking for specific buttons. So, if I
- 8:10come over here on the left and I click
- 8:12buttons,
- 8:14I'm going to see a bunch of different
- 8:16buttons. And if I click on any of these
- 8:18buttons, I then have the ability to copy
- 8:21the prompt. So, down here it says copy
- 8:23prompt. If I copy that and I paste that
- 8:24into Cloud Code, it will give me a
- 8:25button that looks like this. And there
- 8:28isn't just buttons, there's
- 8:30cards, there's, you know, pricing
- 8:33sections. So, similar to, you know, in
- 8:35step one, where we're really looking for
- 8:36sort of like big picture in terms of
- 8:38design and aesthetics, this is a great
- 8:40place to go to get inspiration for
- 8:42specific components. So, we're just
- 8:44getting more detailed and like a little
- 8:46lower level on this sort of stuff. But,
- 8:48even here, it will have things, again,
- 8:50it will do um borders, backgrounds,
- 8:55calls to action. So, again, this is just
- 8:57all in the same vein of like exposing
- 8:59ourselves to things we otherwise
- 9:00wouldn't even think about. Like, how
- 9:01much How often are you looking at like
- 9:03pagination
- 9:04and the different options we have for
- 9:05that. Now, the last thing I'll say at
- 9:07this step is beware going down the
- 9:09rabbit hole in terms of tools and
- 9:11skills, because
- 9:12it's very easy to fall into the trap of,
- 9:15well, I'm just one skill away from like
- 9:17all my design problems being solved.
- 9:19You'll probably see some really cool
- 9:20skills out there that build really cool
- 9:22websites. The issue is those tend to be
- 9:24very narrow in scope. They're extremely
- 9:26prescriptive and often times those
- 9:28skills will only give you one kind of
- 9:30output. The reason why I suggest the
- 9:31taste skill and I suggest impeccable and
- 9:33Hex Fields because they're very flexible
- 9:35and we can go a number of directions
- 9:37with them.
- 9:38However, because they are not
- 9:41prescriptive, they're not always going
- 9:43to give you a quote-unquote great output
- 9:45because that great output is going to
- 9:46depend on your prompting and again, how
- 9:48we inject taste. And now in step three
- 9:50is where we kind of put it all together.
- 9:52I'm going to show you how you should
- 9:53prompt and more importantly, how you
- 9:55should iterate until you get an output
- 9:57you like. So now we're in the step
- 9:58three, which is the actual build phase
- 10:00and what I want you to get away from is
- 10:01the idea that we need to one-shot these
- 10:03things. What we instead need to do and
- 10:05what I suggest is cast a very wide net
- 10:08off the bat. What you see here is I had
- 10:10it create a website for this fake AI
- 10:12company called Argus and I had it create
- 10:14five different versions in five
- 10:17different styles. And also what you see
- 10:19over here is on one hand on the
- 10:21left-hand side I had it use impeccable
- 10:23and on the right I had it use the taste
- 10:24scale. And the idea is when we first
- 10:27start prompting this guy, we want to see
- 10:29a bunch of different styles of the
- 10:30website we're trying to create.
- 10:32I like to do five. Once we see all five,
- 10:35we probably have a decent idea of like,
- 10:36okay, this is the direction I want to
- 10:38go.
- 10:39Once we choose that one, like let's say
- 10:40I did PrintTech, then we want to do some
- 10:43iterations on that. I have it do like
- 10:45three versions of that style and then
- 10:47from those three versions I pick one and
- 10:48then we tinker.
- 10:50The idea is I want to see all my options
- 10:53on one screen at one time. It's kind of
- 10:55tough, I think, to know what direction
- 10:58you even want to go on or go through
- 11:00when you're just sitting inside a
- 11:01terminal and you just try one thing and
- 11:02then you try another. Like, why don't we
- 11:04just try a bunch of stuff at once and
- 11:06compare and contrast? That's sort of my
- 11:09idea. And once we get a little more, you
- 11:11know, sort of fidelity in terms of what
- 11:13style we want to go into, then we bring
- 11:14in things like the Higgs field MCP and
- 11:16start generating assets, generating hero
- 11:18images, and doing all that cool stuff.
- 11:20Now, in regards to prompting, this is
- 11:23kind of how I like to go about it. I
- 11:26really have four different things I am
- 11:29going to pass to AI when I prompt. it.
- 11:31again, it's not prescriptive, it's not
- 11:33overly specific, it's not some
- 11:3510,000-page design.md prompt you need to
- 11:38copy. Cuz remember, when people give you
- 11:39that, it's going to be kind of the same
- 11:41thing every time. It's very narrow. And
- 11:43what I think you want to pass is first
- 11:45the aesthetic, right? What is the
- 11:47general like family of design we want
- 11:50this website to sort of follow?
- 11:52Secondly, we want to give it some sort
- 11:53of reference image. This is where our
- 11:56sort of curated like taste library comes
- 11:59into play. This probably some sort of
- 12:00website or multiple websites you want to
- 12:02drop here in terms of the reference. And
- 12:03what we're trying to do is we're trying
- 12:04to match the feel. We aren't necessarily
- 12:06trying to match it, you know,
- 12:08content-wise or design-wise, cuz we're
- 12:11not trying to like copy them. Again,
- 12:12we're going for a feeling, an aesthetic.
- 12:14Number three is the intent. What are we
- 12:16building and why? Like, is this a SaaS
- 12:19product? Is this something for an event?
- 12:21Who is the target audience? What are we
- 12:23trying to have them do? Do we want them
- 12:24to just like read everything and that's
- 12:26it? Do we want them to click through
- 12:28something, fill out some sort of form?
- 12:29These things are important and they're
- 12:31going to dictate what the rest of the
- 12:32website looks like. And then lastly,
- 12:33what are some sort of guardrails? What
- 12:35are things we always wanted to do and
- 12:37what are some things we never
- 12:38want it to do. This can become useful in
- 12:40terms of like AI slop stuff. Like, I
- 12:41never want purple gradients. I never
- 12:44want Inter font and things of that
- 12:45nature.
- 12:47Also, in terms of references, don't be
- 12:49afraid to drop actual website URLs. If
- 12:51there's a website you like and you kind
- 12:53of want it to match again sort of the
- 12:54feel and style, drop that as well. It
- 12:56doesn't just have to be screenshots. But
- 12:59this, I think, is sort of a great place
- 13:01to start. And again, we're not trying to
- 13:04one-shot, we just want to get something
- 13:05moving in the right direction. Now, when
- 13:07we prompt this, like I said, I want a
- 13:08bunch of different, you know, design
- 13:11styles. And this kind of comes back to
- 13:13my taste library, cuz if you built this,
- 13:15like I suggested you do, it's already
- 13:17kind of broken it out into different
- 13:18libraries, right? I have print tech
- 13:20paper style, I have dither mono, kind of
- 13:23this like vast quiet cinematic style.
- 13:26And so for me, I can just tell Claude
- 13:29Code, "Hey, take a look at my library
- 13:31and pick out, you know, five different
- 13:33aesthetic families and create websites
- 13:36like that." Or, if you haven't built
- 13:38something like that, you need to
- 13:39actually
- 13:40tell it specifically, like, "Hey, I want
- 13:42five different variations in five
- 13:43different styles." That works, too.
- 13:45So, what we're going to do is we're
- 13:47going to use this prompt and start
- 13:48walking through it ourselves. So, here's
- 13:51the prompt I gave it. I said, "Build a
- 13:52landing page for Kestrel, an AI
- 13:53analytics platform for small startups."
- 13:55I give it the intent and what we're
- 13:57trying to actually do, right? We want
- 13:59them to actually book a demo. We have
- 14:01some guardrails. I'm saying for pretty
- 14:02much all the hero pages, we're going to
- 14:04have like a monumental image, and I want
- 14:06it to never do the AI slop stuff, things
- 14:08like purple gradients, 3D SAS blobs,
- 14:10that kind of thing.
- 14:11I say I want it to create five versions
- 14:13of the page, and then for each version,
- 14:15I break down the direction. So, I
- 14:16specify the aesthetic. I give it a
- 14:18reference image. Again, that's coming
- 14:20from my taste library.
- 14:22Remember this thing? And then I mention
- 14:24what the future here will probably look
- 14:25like, and I do that for all five
- 14:27versions. So, let's see what it comes up
- 14:29with. So, here are the five it created.
- 14:31Here's sort of the print tech paper
- 14:33version.
- 14:35Got the data as texture. Remember, all
- 14:37these graphics were all just generated
- 14:39by Claude Code. I haven't used anything
- 14:41like the HTML and CSS to actually create
- 14:43the graphics.
- 14:45We have sort of the vast quiet one. This
- 14:48is supposed to be like a stand-in for
- 14:49some sort of like mountain range we
- 14:50would create.
- 14:52We have dither mono.
- 14:55And then we have classical remix. So,
- 15:00again, remember, we're just kind of
- 15:01looking like big picture of what sort of
- 15:03style do I like?
- 15:05Mhm.
- 15:07Kind of
- 15:09Dither mono looks kind of cool. I kind
- 15:12of think the vast quiet looks kind of
- 15:14sick. It's definitely different, very
- 15:17minimalist, but I kind of like what it's
- 15:18doing. And I think this might look
- 15:20really cool if we can nail the actual
- 15:22image behind it. So, I'm going to go
- 15:25with sort of this vast quiet direction.
- 15:27And now what I'm going to do is I'm
- 15:28going to ask it to essentially create
- 15:31three different versions of this.
- 15:32Specifically, when we look at the body,
- 15:34I want to just kind of like see what's
- 15:35possible out there. So, I said, "Let's
- 15:37go with the vast quiet version. Generate
- 15:39three versions of that aesthetic for me,
- 15:40namely changing the body formats, etc."
- 15:43And you can get specific about what you
- 15:44want to see different with it. And so,
- 15:46just like we did here, it's going to be
- 15:47three versions of this. Then we'll nail
- 15:49down the one we like, and then we can
- 15:51get a little more specific when it comes
- 15:54to changing components, doing tweaks to
- 15:56fonts and colors, and then actually
- 15:57generating the assets. So, it's come up
- 15:59with a few more variants. Here's the
- 16:01original, right? Very minimal, very
- 16:03vertical.
- 16:05Here is the second one, which also kind
- 16:07of has that calm approach, but it looks
- 16:08like it's
- 16:10kind of added a little bit more to the
- 16:11body.
- 16:13Here's one where it's more of a ledger.
- 16:14It's kind of shifted a few things over
- 16:16to the left, and now we have this index
- 16:18that scrolls along with us, which I
- 16:20actually kind of like.
- 16:22Then we have this one, which it called
- 16:23frames.
- 16:25Okay, so everything's kind of like you
- 16:27see kind of how has these edges
- 16:29on the side that frames each section. To
- 16:31be honest, I kind of like the ledger.
- 16:33Um I kind of like how when you scroll
- 16:34down um this follows you on the
- 16:37left-hand side. Um maybe we add
- 16:39something to the right a little bit, not
- 16:40totally sure, but I like this. It's kind
- 16:42of like a neat minimal approach, yet
- 16:44looks a little bit different. And so,
- 16:46what I'm going to tell it now is, "Hey,
- 16:47we're going to go with version 3B, which
- 16:49is the quiet ledger version. And what I
- 16:52want to do now is I want to nail the
- 16:54hero image first. I think if I nail this
- 16:56background, then I'll begin playing
- 16:58around, you know, with like fonts and
- 16:59where things are kind of sitting. So,
- 17:01the prompt I'm going to give it is,
- 17:03"Let's go with the V3B,
- 17:06which is the ledger version. And what I
- 17:08want to do now is nail that hero image."
- 17:10So, you have the, you know, examples of
- 17:13the hero images
- 17:15that are part of the quiet aesthetic
- 17:17that's on our
- 17:18inspiration library. I think there's
- 17:20like three or four of them. So, can you
- 17:22create like give me like four different
- 17:25images that fit this that would also fit
- 17:27our hero image
- 17:28specifically, right the whole like
- 17:30composition of it. So,
- 17:32use the Higgs field MCP for that. Make
- 17:33them high quality. Make them 2K and
- 17:35create four different designs and then
- 17:37pull them up once you do that. So,
- 17:39Claude code called the Higgs field MCP,
- 17:40created some images, threw it into the
- 17:42hero section, and now it's displaying
- 17:44those different ones. So, this is the
- 17:45first version which is the aerial. We
- 17:48have the Crag. Then we have almost this
- 17:50like watercolor type painting which I
- 17:52think is cool. And then it did the cloud
- 17:54sea. Now, I kind of like
- 17:57Honestly, not a huge fan of two cuz I
- 17:59feel like it overlaps some of the text,
- 18:01but I
- 18:02do like
- 18:04I like number one and four. I think
- 18:10I think one looks pretty cool, but maybe
- 18:12if we could add, I don't know, like a
- 18:14splash of color somewhere just cuz it's
- 18:16very black and white and maybe just like
- 18:18some semblance of color would look good.
- 18:19So, that's what I'm going to tell it.
- 18:20Can we go with option four that you
- 18:22created and can you create multiple
- 18:25versions of that and show me just like
- 18:26you did before, but can we add maybe a
- 18:28little color
- 18:29to it? Right now, it's very black and
- 18:31white. I'm not sure if just a splash of
- 18:32color somewhere would look good. So, it
- 18:34created some variations. So, here's the
- 18:36original. Here added a little color
- 18:39called a dawn touch, golden hour,
- 18:42alpenglow, and then the duo tone which
- 18:45is way too much.
- 18:48And of all these, I think I like the
- 18:50alpenglow. So, we're going to go with
- 18:51that. Let's go with the alpenglow
- 18:53version and then go ahead and bring up
- 18:55our webpage with that as the hero. When
- 18:58you do that, make sure you take a look
- 19:00at the transitions between the hero and
- 19:02the body. It shouldn't just be like a
- 19:05super sudden change. So, do what you
- 19:07need to make that look sort of premium.
- 19:08And then in terms of like page loading,
- 19:11um want everything to feel kind of like
- 19:14heavy, um and give some weight to it.
- 19:17So, here's what we got. All this stuff
- 19:19kind of loads in one by one, which I
- 19:20like.
- 19:22As we scroll down, it's not like a hard
- 19:24transition, so it kind of just,
- 19:26you know, slowly fades out.
- 19:29And then,
- 19:30yeah, I like I kind of like I really
- 19:32like this index, honestly. I think it
- 19:33looks really cool.
- 19:35And at the bottom, we have book a demo.
- 19:37Now, overall,
- 19:38very minimal, but it kind of fits the
- 19:40vibe. And at this point, I'd kind of
- 19:42just want to start tweaking different
- 19:44things and maybe see if we can add just
- 19:46a little bit more,
- 19:48I don't know, punch to it, so it isn't
- 19:50overly minimal, but honestly, I I I kind
- 19:52of think it fits. And so, I think the
- 19:53easiest way to do that, instead of just
- 19:55sort of guessing and being like, "Uh,
- 19:56make it look more premium. I want to add
- 19:58stuff." is to add have it added tweaks
- 20:00bar. And this is something you see
- 20:01inside of Claude design.
- 20:03And so, that prompt will look something
- 20:04like this.
- 20:05Can we sort of mimic what happens inside
- 20:07of Claude design and add like a tweak
- 20:09bar that pops up on this dev server, so
- 20:12I can change a number of things, whether
- 20:14that's font size, font type, accent
- 20:16colors. Basically, any place where you
- 20:18think there's a decision to be made in
- 20:20terms of the overall aesthetic and
- 20:22design, especially when looking at the
- 20:24body, cuz I do like the hero. Um I want
- 20:26an ability to tweak that on the tweaks
- 20:28page, so go pretty aggressive with what
- 20:29you offer me. And while it builds that,
- 20:31the other thing I want to talk about is
- 20:34sort of references. So, a lot of this
- 20:36today has been, you know, when we've
- 20:38talked about inspiration and building
- 20:39references, has been in regards to the
- 20:42hero section, right? The first thing you
- 20:43see. But, that also applies to the body.
- 20:45So, just like we've given it
- 20:47screenshots, you can do the same for the
- 20:48body. And in fact, you can give it
- 20:50actual URLs of websites you like and be
- 20:52like, "Hey, like take a look at the
- 20:54actual like formatting of that website,
- 20:55cuz Claude can see it, and I want it
- 20:57applied to my page." And just like we've
- 21:00created this library of inspiration, you
- 21:02can do the same for stuff that isn't the
- 21:04hero. Again, it can just be how a, you
- 21:06know, the body of a website is laid out.
- 21:08Okay, so now you can see over here on
- 21:10the bottom right. I'll shift over here.
- 21:12We have this tweaks button. So, when I
- 21:14pull up the tweaks, again, similar to
- 21:16Claude design, I can start changing a
- 21:18bunch of stuff. So, I can change the
- 21:21heading font. And like I this is just
- 21:24all
- 21:25built on the idea that like I need to
- 21:27see the differences. I don't know what
- 21:29font's going to look good. I don't want
- 21:30to sit here and ask Claude code to then
- 21:32create 10 different versions of the
- 21:34webpage with different fonts. Like, just
- 21:35give me some sort of like thing like
- 21:37this, right? I think being able to like
- 21:38iterate visually very quickly is what
- 21:41allows us to eventually get something we
- 21:42like. So, we can don't like the italics.
- 21:45Change the size, all this good stuff.
- 21:48And like I said, I totally get pretty
- 21:49aggressive. So, it has like the hero
- 21:51imagery, the assets, the motion,
- 21:55the weight, the reveal distance, all
- 21:56this stuff. And so, at this point, it's
- 21:58really just a matter of tweaking it over
- 22:00and over again, showing it more
- 22:01references of things you like until you
- 22:03get it to a place you're happy with. And
- 22:05really this entire video has been about
- 22:07that. It's about giving you a flexible
- 22:08workflow, a series of steps that you can
- 22:10follow to get you to a place you're
- 22:13happy with. None of this is meant to be
- 22:15prescriptive. None of this needs to be
- 22:16followed to a T. Instead, it's about
- 22:18some like general rules and guidelines
- 22:19of figuring out, okay, what do I
- 22:21actually like, you know, cultivating
- 22:22that taste. How do I then take that
- 22:24taste and bring it to AI? What are some
- 22:26additional tools that Claude code
- 22:28doesn't come with that can help me do a
- 22:30better job of that? And then lastly, how
- 22:32do I tweak? How do I iterate? So, I'm
- 22:34not just at the mercy of Claude code one
- 22:37shots and just playing the lottery game
- 22:39of putting in a random prompt, saying,
- 22:40"Please make it look more premium." And
- 22:42praying that the output is good. So,
- 22:44with all that said, that is where I'm
- 22:46going to leave you guys for today. As
- 22:48always, let me know what you thought.
- 22:49Make sure to check out Chase AI Plus if
- 22:51you want to get your hands on more
- 22:53Claude code guides, especially my Claude
- 22:54code masterclass. There'll be a link to
- 22:55that down in the pinned comments.
- 22:58And I'll see you around.
