Build a site with Claude.
A hands-on masterclass delivered at KodjoLive 2026, designed for creators and entrepreneurs in French-speaking Africa who have been quietly told, in one way or another, that the AI conversation is not for them. The guide walks them, step by step and in French, from a blank page to a site that is actually on the internet.
Why this exists
Most AI talk skips the people who need it most
There is a particular tension, familiar to anyone who has sat through an AI panel in French-speaking Africa over the last two years, between the scale of what is being promised and the accessibility of the tools themselves. The talks insist that artificial intelligence will reshape every profession. The tutorials, a moment later, assume the audience is already fluent in terminals, repositories, and environment variables. The bar is set quietly, politely, but unmistakably high.
The KodjoLive Masterclass was designed to lower that bar. Over the course of a single guided session, a participant with no programming background at all builds a website using a conversational AI assistant and publishes it to the open internet. The material is written in French because the people who most needed it were tired of translating English tutorials in their heads, one idiom at a time.
What you learn
The whole pipeline, not just the prompts
How to talk to an AI assistant
How to ask an AI assistant for code, rather than for conversation. Which details matter, which are safely left implicit, and when to interrupt a generated draft rather than accept it uncritically.
From idea to a real file
How an idea becomes a file. The guide walks through the translation from a rough description in plain language to the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that a web browser can actually read and render.
Shipping to a URL
How to get the finished site off your laptop and onto the open internet, where other people can visit it. The participant leaves the session with a working URL, not a file sitting in a folder.
Iterating with confidence
How to keep improving the site afterward: fixing the inevitable bugs, refining the design, adding new features, all without breaking the parts that already work.
Who it's for
Builders who have been told they don't belong in the AI conversation
The masterclass is written for entrepreneurs who have an idea and no technical co-founder, teachers who want to build a small site for their class without asking a committee, and creators with a brand and no budget for a freelance developer. It is also for the quieter group: people who have wondered, privately, whether this kind of work was ever meant for them, and decided from a distance that it probably was not.
It turns out that it is. You do not need a degree, a Mac, or anyone's permission.
