The free 4-step setup that turns Claude Code into a senior web designer.
You don't need a designer or a dev team. You need the right environment, animations, design taste, and components — set up before you start prompting. This is the exact stack.

Step 1
Install Claude Code
Claude Code runs locally through your terminal. One command and you're in. Requires Node.js 18+ and an Anthropic account. This is what makes it different from copy-pasting from a chat window — it reads your full project, edits multiple files at once, runs commands, and iterates.
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Step 2
Add Animation Support (Framer Motion)
Default AI-generated sites look static and lifeless. Animation is the #1 thing that makes a site feel premium. Install Framer Motion, then tell Claude Code to use it for every interaction.
npm install framer-motion
Tell Claude
“Use Framer Motion for all animations. Apply scroll-triggered fades, staggered reveals, and smooth hover transitions on interactive elements.”

Step 3
Add a Design-Focused Skill
Claude Code supports Skills — reusable instruction sets that teach Claude taste: spacing, hierarchy, typography, color systems, and layout principles. Create a .claude/skills/ folder, drop in a SKILL.md, and Claude will reference it automatically when building UI. Include a real type scale, an 8px spacing grid, color tokens, component patterns, and an explicit 'avoid generic AI aesthetic' rule.

Step 4
Integrate a Component Library (21st.dev)
Don't reinvent the wheel. 21st.dev is a library of production-ready, beautifully designed components — heroes, pricing tables, testimonials, navbars, footers. Copy the code, paste it in, and tell Claude Code to integrate it with your tokens and animations.
Prompt
“Integrate this 21st.dev component into our landing page. Match it to our design tokens, replace placeholder content with our copy, and add Framer Motion entrance animations.”

Starter prompt to kick off your site
Once all 4 layers are in place, drop this into Claude Code. It sets the framework, the animations, the section list, and the quality bar in one go.
Build a modern landing page for [YOUR PRODUCT/SERVICE].
Requirements:
- Use Next.js 14 with the App Router
- Tailwind CSS for styling
- Framer Motion for all animations (scroll reveals, hover states, page transitions)
- Pull hero, features, and pricing sections from 21st.dev components
- Follow the design tokens defined in our frontend design skill
- Add a sticky navbar, a hero with a headline + CTA, 3 feature cards, social proof section, pricing, FAQ, and footer
- Mobile-first, fully responsive
- Lighthouse score 90+ on performance
Start by setting up the project structure, then build section by section. Show me each section before moving to the next.
— Common mistakes to avoid
Skipping the design skill
Without it, you'll get a generic site that screams 'AI-generated.'
Vague prompts
Be specific about sections, animations, and content. Claude Code is only as good as your brief.
Not iterating
First output is rarely the final output. Ask Claude Code to refine spacing, contrast, and motion.
Forgetting performance
Always ask for lazy-loaded images, optimized fonts, and a Lighthouse audit at the end.
