What's Claude Code?
Anthropic's tool for building with Claude. It comes with paid Claude plans and runs in the Claude desktop app, in a terminal or in your code editor. No Shite Sites is a plugin for it: new commands that teach Claude to design before it builds.
Do I need to code?
No. You write a few lines about the business, it writes the design brief in plain English, and Claude writes the code. An included guide walks you through going live. If you do code, the output is a normal Astro project you can take further.
Can I use it for client work?
Yes. The licence covers your own sites and your clients' sites, with no per-site or per-client fees. You just can't resell or share the plugin files themselves.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Reply to your Gumroad receipt within 14 days and I'll help you get it running. If I can't, you get a full refund.
Will it replace me as a designer?
No. It does the groundwork a good designer does before building, and writes it all down. You set the direction in the brief, change anything you like in the design brief, and sign off the build. Your taste stays in charge.
Isn't Claude's free design skill enough?
It makes clean, complete pages, and it's free. In my side-by-side test on the same café brief, the free skill scored 88 on phone speed and No Shite Sites scored 99, and only No Shite Sites shipped the 404, privacy page, sitemap and a check that fixes its own mistakes. One designer's blind judgement, not a lab test.
Will all my clients' sites look the same?
That's the exact problem it was made to fix. Each design starts from one idea about the business, with its own palette, type and photography. Every demo on this page came from the same plugin.
Where do the photos come from?
Claude can make them if you connect an image tool like Higgsfield. Otherwise the design brief gives you a ready prompt for every image. Use your client's real photos where you can, and always for real people and premises.
Does it make up reviews?
Only on demo sites, and every invented detail is marked so you can find it. For real businesses, reviews, ratings and qualifications are left as clearly marked placeholders.
Which Claude model should I use?
Opus 5.5 on medium effort gives the best results for both designing and building.
Who's behind it?
A UK web designer who got sick of AI websites that all look the same. That's all you're getting. The work's on this page.
