The Technique — A New Built-in Command for Instant Websites
A new command, /letsgo, is now available directly in the Claude Code interface. It’s a static site generator designed specifically for Claude Code users to create professional websites for local businesses. Instead of starting from scratch or wrestling with complex frameworks, you can now generate a complete, production-ready site in under a minute.
The command walks you through a simple setup:
- It prompts you to choose a business type: Restaurant, Salon, Fitness Studio, or Professional Services.
- You provide your business name.
- Claude Code generates a fully functional website in a new directory, complete with a Git repository.
Why It Works — Zero-Dependency, JSON-Driven Simplicity
This tool is perfectly aligned with Claude Code's philosophy of reducing friction. The generated site has zero dependencies—no npm, no build tools, no frameworks. It's pure HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript that you can open and edit directly in your editor. This eliminates setup headaches and makes the output incredibly portable.
All content is driven by a single site-data.json file. To change text, hours, menu items, or team bios, you only edit this JSON. The site uses fetch() to load this data, keeping the structure clean and the content dynamic. This JSON-first approach makes it trivial for Claude Code itself to help you iterate on content later.
The templates are not bare-bones starters. They come pre-filled with realistic, industry-specific content (no Lorem Ipsum), include full SEO meta tags, Open Graph tags, a sitemap, and are built with semantic, accessible HTML.
How To Apply It — From Generation to Deployment
Using it is straightforward. In your Claude Code terminal, navigate to where you want the project and run:
cd ~/projects
/letsgo
Follow the interactive prompts. Once generated, you can immediately preview the site. Because it needs a local server due to the fetch() call, use a simple tool like serve:
cd my-new-business-site
npx serve
# Or with Python: python -m http.server 8000
Then, customize your site-data.json file. The structure is intuitive. For a restaurant, you'll find sections for menuCategories, featuredItems, and team. For a salon, you'll find services. Swap out the placeholder images in the images/ directory and update their references in the JSON.
Since the site is pure static files, deployment is a one-step process to any host:
- GitHub Pages: Push the generated repo and enable Pages in settings.
- Netlify/Vercel: Drag and drop the folder or connect the Git repository.
This tool turns what is typically a multi-hour setup and content creation task into a 5-minute job, letting you focus on customization and client review immediately.
