Helsinki · Hands-on · No code required
A one-day workshop where non-technical people build a real website or small app — and put it on the internet before they go home.
The promise
Most “learn to build” classes end with a folder of files on your laptop. This one ends with something real people can open on their phone.
Your own pages, your own words and images — hosted at a live web address you can hand to anyone.
A booking form, a price calculator, a signup list — a tiny tool that does one useful thing for your work or idea.
You leave owning the project and the address. Change it, grow it, or hand it to a developer later — it's yours.
How a Saturday runs
You describe what you want in plain English. Claude Code builds it with you. DollarDeploy puts it online. We're beside you the whole way.
Describe your idea in normal words — “a page for my dog-walking side gig.” No jargon, no diagrams.
Claude writes the site as you go. You steer it — change the colours, the words, the layout — just by asking.
One guided step puts your project on the real internet, with its own web address. No servers to understand.
Text it to a friend right there in the room and watch it open on their phone. That's the moment.
Who comes to these
If you can send an email and describe what you want, you can do this. Here's who usually sits in the room.
What you leave with
The two tools, in plain words
We teach both from zero. But here's the honest, jargon-free version so nothing feels like a black box.
Claude Code is an AI you talk to in plain English. You tell it what you want your website to do and look like, and it writes the actual site for you — then changes it whenever you ask.
Think of it as a very fast, very patient developer sitting next to you, who never makes you feel silly for asking.
Building something on your laptop is one thing; getting it onto the internet is usually the scary part. DollarDeploy is the shortcut — it takes your project and gives it a real web address in one guided step.
No servers, no hosting contracts, no acronyms. It's the part that turns “on my computer” into “on the internet.”
Format & logistics
Honest answers
Yes, really. The whole workshop is built around people who have never coded. You describe things in plain language; the AI handles the code. If you can write an email, you're ready.
DollarDeploy is designed to keep hosting extremely cheap — often just a few euros a month, and free while you're learning. We'll show you exactly what your project costs before you commit to anything.
Completely. The project, the files, and the web address are yours. You can keep growing it, hand it to a developer, or move it elsewhere — you're never locked in.
You leave with a cheat-sheet of the exact steps, and you get 30 days of follow-up help by email for questions as you keep building.
Absolutely — most people do. Part of the day is turning a rough idea into something concrete. Bring a napkin sketch, a Pinterest board, or just a sentence.
No. It's a build day. You use Claude Code and DollarDeploy because they're the fastest way for a beginner to go from idea to live — and everything you learn transfers to whatever you build next.
