Already built your custom website with Claude? Here is how to use Claude Design to give it a stunning, professional makeover without writing any CSS.
Having your own custom website is great, but making it look professional and unique is what truly makes it stand out. If you've already followed our guide on building your website with Claude, here is how you can use Claude Design to completely revamp its look into something fancy and uniquely yours.
Before you begin: This guide assumes you have already followed our previous tutorial: How to Build a Custom Website with Claude GitHub Vercel and Squarespace. You should have a working website codebase on your local machine and connected to GitHub.
Estimated Time: About 20 minutes
If you've followed the previous steps to build your website, congratulations! You have a fully functional site living on the internet. However, right out of the box, it might look a bit plain.
Today, we are going to fix that. We'll be using Claude Design to give your site a beautiful, polished, and fancy aesthetic that will make it rock.
A Quick Note on Usage Limits: Before diving in, it's important to know that Claude Design's visual generation consumes a significant amount of tokens. Because it constantly updates the Canvas and ingests visual context, the usage limits are much more restrictive than standard text chats. You might hit your message capacity much faster than you expect. To maximize your usage, try using the adjustment knobs and direct edits rather than prompting for every tiny change!
Claude Design isn't just a simple text chat—it's a dedicated web-based visual workspace. Note that it is not built into the Claude Desktop App or Claude Code; you can only access it via your browser, where you have a chat interface on the left and a live Canvas on the right.
One of the most powerful features of Claude Design is its "Code-Aware Integration." It can read your current codebase so that any new designs it creates are completely compatible with what you've already built.
node_modules folder).Before you ask Claude to design, it helps to know what you want. Take a few minutes to browse the web (sites like Awwwards or Dribbble are great for this) and find a couple of websites that have a "fancy" design that you absolutely love.
Pay attention to:
Now it's time to let Claude Design work its magic on the Canvas.
Copy and paste this prompt into the chat, replacing the bracketed information with your own preferences:
"Please completely redesign my homepage and blog layout to make them look incredibly fancy, professional, and visually stunning. I want it to feel [insert vibe: e.g., premium, modern, glassmorphic, sleek, playful].
For inspiration, I really love the look and feel of [Insert Website URL 1] and [Insert Website URL 2]. Feel free to add subtle micro-animations for interactive elements to make the site feel alive."
Watch as Claude generates the new UI in real time on the right-side Canvas!
The real magic of Claude Design is how you refine the result. You don't have to keep writing long prompts.
Once you are completely satisfied with your website's new fancy look on the Canvas, it's time to bring it back to your actual website.
Since we already set up automatic deployments with Vercel and GitHub in the previous guide, this final step is incredibly easy. Open your terminal in your project directory and run:
git add .
git commit -m "Implement fancy redesign using Claude Design"
git push
Within a few minutes, Vercel will automatically detect the changes, build your site, and push your beautiful new design live to your custom domain.
You now have a website that doesn't just work—it looks like you hired a professional design agency to build it. Best of all, you can continually use Claude Design to tweak the look whenever you want a refresh!
