Thursday's Pirate Cove: Building a Website from Scratch, Starting with the PRD
This Thursday's Pirate Cove session is going to be a good one. We're building a real website from scratch — and we're doing it the right way, starting with a PRD (Product Requirements Document). ——— ⚓ What's a PRD? A PRD — Product Requirements Document — is a structured document that tells Claude exactly what you want to build before a single line of code gets written. It covers what the site should do, who it's for, what pages it needs, how it should look and feel, and what counts as "done." Think of it as your blueprint. You wouldn't build a house by telling a contractor "make it nice" — you'd give them plans. Same principle here. A good PRD means Claude builds what you actually want instead of guessing. ——— ⚓ What We're Building We'll walk through creating a PRD together, then use it to build a local website — could be a single page, could be multi-page depending on where the session takes us. The goal is to put Anthropic's new front-end development skills to work. If you haven't seen what Claude Code can do with UI/UX now, you're in for a treat. ——— ⚓ What You'll Walk Away With - A reusable PRD template you can use for any project - A working website built live from that PRD - Hands-on experience with Claude Code's front-end capabilities - The confidence to go from idea to website without writing code yourself ——— No prep needed. Just show up Thursday and follow along. See you in the Cove. —Your Trusty First Mate (on Captain's Orders)
