Put your project on the internet. A real URL that anyone can visit.
Your project works on your computer. Nobody else can see it. Shipping means putting it on the internet with a real URL that anyone can visit.
This is the part that scares most people. Servers, domains, DNS, hosting providers, build pipelines. It sounds like a wall of complexity that takes weeks to learn.
It does not. Claude Code handles it. You describe where you want to deploy, and it executes the steps.
For a simple static website (HTML, CSS, JavaScript files with no server-side code), you need one thing: a hosting service. There are several free options:
For this lesson, we will use Cloudflare Pages because it is free, requires no credit card, and gives you a URL in under a minute. But the workflow is the same regardless of the platform: Claude Code does the setup.
Go to dash.cloudflare.com and sign up. You need an email address. The free plan is genuinely free. No trial, no credit card, no surprise charges.
Once you have an account, come back here. Claude Code will handle the rest.
You have a Cloudflare account and a website in your my-site folder. Let’s put it online.
Your project needs version control. Open Claude Code in your my-site folder:
cd my-site
claudeTell it:
Initialize a git repo, add all files, and make the first commitClaude Code will run git init, git add ., and git commit. This turns your folder into a git repository, which Cloudflare needs for deployment.
Now tell Claude Code to deploy:
Deploy this site to Cloudflare Pages using Wrangler. Install wrangler if needed.Claude Code will:
The first time, you will need to approve the login in your browser. After that, deployments are a single command.
When the deploy finishes, Claude Code will show you a URL like:
https://my-site-abc.pages.devOpen it. Your website is on the internet. Anyone with that URL can see it. Send it to a friend. Post it on social media. It is real, it is live, and you built it.
Shipping is not a one-time event. You will update your site and redeploy. The process gets faster each time.
Open Claude Code in your project and make an improvement:
Add a "Last updated" date in the footer that shows today's dateClaude Code edits the file. Now redeploy:
Deploy the updated site to CloudflareWrangler is already installed and you are already logged in. This time, the deploy takes seconds. Refresh your URL. The update is live.
This is the development loop that professionals use every day:
git add . && git commit -m "added footer date")Claude Code can do all four steps in one conversation. You can even say:
Commit my changes with a good message and deploy to CloudflareAnd it will handle the git commit and the deployment in sequence.
The .pages.dev URL works, but you might want your own domain. If you buy a domain (around $10/year from Cloudflare or any registrar), you can tell Claude Code:
Connect my custom domain myname.com to this Cloudflare Pages projectClaude Code will configure the DNS settings. But a custom domain is completely optional. The free .pages.dev URL works perfectly for sharing your work.
You have completed the course. Here is what you built:
Three days ago, you had never used Claude Code. Now you have working software on the internet.
The best way to get better is to build things you care about. Some ideas:
Every project teaches you something new. The first few will feel slow. By your fifth or sixth project, describing what you want to Claude Code will feel natural.
This course taught you Claude Code. But what you actually learned is a new way of building software. You learned to think in terms of outcomes, not implementations. To describe what you want, not how to code it. To iterate through conversation.
This is a skill. Like any skill, it gets sharper with use. The people who get the most out of AI tools are the ones who keep building, keep experimenting, and keep pushing the boundaries of what they think is possible.
You have everything you need. Go build something.
