Make a portfolio site with an AI chat

A designer used Claude Code to publish a personal portfolio and add a question-answering chat about their work.

What they did
Felix Lee, who works as a designer, had Claude Code draft a plan.md for a portfolio project. They checked that plan, replaced the stack with plain HTML and CSS, and then used the agent to build the site before making more changes through prompts. They put the result on GitHub and Vercel, then set up Supabase for data storage, Google sign-in, and OpenAI for the chat.
How it went
They say the site was finished in 48 hours. Three days later, they launched a growth design tool that they say now has over 500 users. The post does not describe the chat’s performance.
Tips
Start with a plan and review it before asking for implementation. Keep any deployment, account setup, or secret-handling steps paused until you explicitly approve them.

Try it yourself with Claude Code

I’m a [role] with no coding experience. Build me a portfolio site for [my background, projects, or services], and include a chat feature that can answer questions only from a facts document you create from my input. First, give me a clear plan and wait for my approval before writing code. Use simple HTML and CSS unless I ask for another approach. Explain what to do in plain language, help me test it locally, and stop before any step that publishes, deletes, submits, or costs money so you can ask for confirmation. Also remind me to keep secrets out of version control.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
