Course description
Claude Design is a new tool that lets full stack developers describe a layout and get production-ready frontend code in return. This hands-on, two-hour live course with Bruce Hopkins teaches you to build professional web UIs using Claude Design for every major layout pattern.
You’ll work through four complete layout projects using Claude Design, starting with grid-based layouts for a company website and proceeding to single-page layouts for a brand refresh. From there, you’ll build card-based layouts for an interactive web application and finish with advanced techniques like split screen, bento box, and asymmetrical designs for a flagship product page. If you’re not familiar with these terms, you’ll quickly learn what they mean and how to use them properly.
