How do I update my website by telling Claude what to change?
Short answer
Keep your website's files and your style guide in one folder, open Claude, and describe the change in plain words. Claude edits the files, you look at the result, and you publish it.
Most people don't update their website because it's a pain. They forget the login, the site builder changed, or the person who built it moved on.
With Claude, an update is a sentence.
What it looks like
- "Change my day rate to $4,000."
- "Add these six photos from last week's job to the construction page."
- "Write a Field Note answering how much a photo day costs, in my voice."
- "The button on mobile is too close to the edge. Fix it."
The setup that makes it work
- Your whole website lives in one folder on your computer.
- Your style guide lives in that folder too, so Claude follows your rules every time.
- You check every change before it goes live.
- You publish with one command Claude can run for you.
That's it. No designer on retainer and no monthly site builder you've outgrown. For the cost of a Claude subscription, you manage your own website.
