Lanlan.docs

Your first site

From zero to a live website in about ten minutes.

What you need

  • A Claude account — free or paid both work.
  • About ten minutes.
  • A rough idea of what you want — even one sentence is enough.

Step 1: Add Lanlan to Claude

Lanlan plugs into Claude as a connector — a one-click setup. No installs, no command line, no code editor.

If you've never added a connector before, follow Add Lanlan to Claude (about a minute). Once it's added, every request you make of Claude that involves your website goes through Lanlan automatically.

Step 2: Tell Claude what you want

You're briefing a designer, not filling out a form. The clearer the brief, the closer the first draft will be — but anything you leave out, Claude will ask about.

A good first message names the business and the rough vibe. Start simple:

  • "Build a website for my bakery. The vibe should feel friendly and warm."
  • "Build a one-page site for my dog-walking business in West Oakland. Easy to read, with a contact form."
  • "Build me a portfolio site for my landscape photography. Quiet, dark, lots of white space."

Don't worry about getting it perfect. Step 4 is for changes.

Step 3: Answer a few questions as Claude builds

Claude usually asks two or three short questions while building — colors, fonts, what to put in the hero, that kind of thing. Each answer takes a sentence.

When the first draft lands, your site is already live at your-name.lanlan.site. Tap the link Claude sends you and the site opens in your browser. Nothing ships to a real domain (like your-business.com) until you connect one yourself — that's a separate step, later.

Step 4: Change anything, anytime

The site you have now is a starting point. Tell Claude what to change and it changes — usually live within a few seconds.

  • "Make the headline shorter and the photos bigger."
  • "Move the contact form to its own page."
  • "Try a warmer cream background instead of pure white."
  • "Add a page for the menu."

Keep going until you're happy. When you stop making changes, you're done.

Where everything lives

When you want to look at form submissions, see who's been visiting, manage custom domains, or change billing, your dashboard at app.lanlan.site is the home base. Most days you won't need to open it — Claude handles the work — but it's there when you do.

Your dashboard's main page, showing a single demo bakery site, this week's visit count, recent form submissions, and a 'Use your own domain' card prompting you to connect a custom domain.

What to try next

If you get stuck

Ask Claude. "I can't figure out how to…" almost always gets you unstuck. For anything Claude can't help with, email support.
