    Claude to Fix Your Website Pages! (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Just a lite bite! I’ve been rebuilding a client’s site with clean HTML and building templates based on Category, using tone and newly minted lexicon.md and design.md files in Claude Project!

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    For thirty+ years, I’ve watched the same gap open and close in different disguises.The person who made the product knows everything about it — the fabric choice, the fit logic, why this version exists and not another. The person buying it knows almost none of that.
