Just got my first business website live — gethotlineai.com Built it with Claude Code over the last few days. Zero prior web dev experience. The site is for Hotline AI — an AI speed-to-lead service for car dealerships that responds to internet leads in under 60 seconds. Biggest hack: Having Claude screenshot the site, compare it to a reference, and iterate until it matched — no guessing, no back and forth with myself. Just: screenshot → diff → fix → repeat. What surprised me most: The hardest part wasn't the code. It was the DNS. Spent more time fighting Namecheap and Vercel than I did building the actual site. But that's the real education — you don't know what you don't know until something breaks. Site is live, form submissions go to my business email, custom domain is connected. Onto the next.

In this video, I break down everything you need to know to use Claude Code effectively for building automations. I cover the interface and what actually matters, the WAT framework we use to build every automation, how to communicate clearly with Claude Code and get it to ask the right questions during planning, the superpowers like MCP servers and Claude skills, and how to test, optimize, and deploy your workflows so they run automatically. No fluff, I build a real workflow live so you can see exactly how it all comes together. By the end of this video, you'll understand Claude Code better than most people using it and have a clear framework for building your own workflows.
