Build the landing page

Create the project folder and open it in Cursor

On your Desktop (or anywhere easy to find), right-click → New Folder → name it something like "my-landing-page". Then open Cursor, click File → Open Folder, and select that folder. You should now see an empty sidebar on the left — that is your project. This is where all your files will live. If you prefer to keep things simpler, you can also just use Claude at claude.ai in your browser and paste the code it gives you into a plain text file saved as "index.html". You do not need Cursor if you go that route — just make sure to save the file with the .html extension, not .txt.

Ask AI to scaffold the page

Ask Codex or Claude Code to create a single-page HTML landing page with a hero, benefits, proof, FAQ, and CTA.

Copy this Day 2 build prompt into Codex or Claude Code

Paste this after you open your project folder. Let the AI build the first version before you start tweaking small details.

Add the core sections

Make sure the page includes the headline, benefits, social proof, FAQ, and final CTA.

Run the page locally

How you preview the page depends on what the AI built. There are two common situations: Situation A — The AI created a plain HTML file (most common for beginners): Open your project folder, find the file called "index.html", and double-click it. It opens straight in your browser. That is your local preview. If it looks wrong, that is fine — you will fix it in the next steps. Situation B — The AI created a Next.js or React project: In Cursor, click View → Terminal to open a terminal panel at the bottom. Type: npm install and press Enter. Wait for it to finish (this can take a minute). Then type: npm run dev and press Enter. Then open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000. Your page should appear there. Not sure which one you have? Look at your project folder. If you see only a file called "index.html" and maybe a CSS file — that is Situation A. If you see a folder called "src" or files called "package.json" — that is Situation B. If still unsure, paste the list of files you see into Claude and ask which situation you are in.

Check mobile layout

Use your browser or dev tools to make sure the page still reads well on a small screen.

Save a clean version with GitHub Desktop

This is your safety checkpoint. If anything breaks tomorrow, you can come back to exactly this working version. 1. Open GitHub Desktop (you installed this at the end of Day 1). 2. Click File → Add Local Repository. 3. Click Choose and select your project folder. 4. If GitHub Desktop says "This directory does not appear to be a Git repository" — click "create a repository" and follow the prompts. Click Initialize Repository when asked. 5. You should now see a list of your files on the left side. They will be highlighted green — that means they are new and ready to save. 6. At the bottom left, in the box that says "Summary (required)", type: working page before email setup 7. Click the blue "Commit to main" button. 8. Done. Your checkpoint is saved. If GitHub Desktop feels too confusing right now, the quickest alternative is to duplicate your project folder: right-click it → Copy → Paste → rename it "my-landing-page-backup". Not as clean as Git, but it protects your work.
