Website¶
Why Your Website Is the Foundation¶
For a One Person Enterprise, your website is your permanent, owned presence on the internet. Social platforms change algorithms and ownership structures. Your website does not.
It should do three things well: establish credibility, explain what you do, and make it easy for the right people to contact you.
Claude Code can build, maintain, and update your site with minimal manual effort.
Static Site Generators¶
Static sites are fast, cheap to host, and trivially easy for Claude Code to manage — they are just files.
| Tool | Best For |
|---|---|
| MkDocs + Material | Documentation, knowledge bases, technical content |
| Astro | Content-heavy sites, blogs, landing pages |
| Next.js | Interactivity, dynamic content, full-stack features |
For most solo operators, MkDocs or Astro is the right starting point. This manual is built with MkDocs.
Building Your Site With Claude Code¶
Claude Code can generate an entire site from a brief:
Create a professional website for a freelance data analyst.
Include: homepage, services page, about page, and contact form.
Use Astro with Tailwind CSS. Pages should be clean and fast.
From there, iteration is fast:
- "Update the services page to include a new offer for AI consulting"
- "Add a blog section with three posts about automation"
- "Fix the mobile layout on the homepage"
Each instruction takes seconds to execute. What previously required a developer or an afternoon now takes minutes.
LinkedIn-to-Website Export Workflow¶
A practical starting point for your About page:
- Export your LinkedIn profile as a PDF (Profile → More → Save to PDF)
- Place the PDF in your project folder
- Run Claude Code:
Read my LinkedIn PDF at /docs/assets/linkedin-export.pdf.
Extract my professional summary, work history, and key skills.
Write an About page in Markdown that I can use on my website.
Tone: confident but not boastful. Length: 400 words.
- Review, adjust tone, publish.
Content Maintenance Workflows¶
Once your site is live, Claude Code can keep it current:
Monthly content audit:
Review all pages in /docs/. Flag any content that references
dates older than 6 months or technologies that may be outdated.
Suggest updates for each.
New page from notes:
I have rough notes in /drafts/new-service.txt.
Turn them into a polished services page in Markdown.
Match the tone and structure of /docs/services.md.
