Start your own thing
Unlocked the moment Chapter 1 is finished — no time gate. No grading, no XP.
L1 Set up your workshop
An AI coding tool installed and working, connected to GitHub, and your first real conversation with it.
L2 Build the website
The example site live on *.pages.dev, auto-deploying on every push.
L3 Make it look real
Generated images, a logo, and a site that looks like a business rather than a template.
L4 Contact form that emails you
Real enquiries landing in an inbox.
L5 Login and private pages
A members-only area behind a password.
L6 When the AI gets it wrong
Reading an error, rolling back with git, asking better questions.
L7 Store the data
Enquiries and signups saved in a database, not just emailed.
L8 An admin screen
Editing the site's content without touching code.
L9 Take a payment
Stripe Checkout for a deposit or a product.
L10 Your own domain and email
something.com plus a professional email address.
L11 Getting found
Meta tags, share previews, analytics -- not being invisible.
L12 Fast, mobile, accessible
The quality pass that separates a real site from a toy.
Unlocks once every Chapter 1-2 lesson is passed and the drip catches up.
