What makes a $10k site?
Premium design plus real function.
0:00 Not only will I show you how to make a site that looks premium and feels like it's worth $10,000, but one that actually has legitimate use cases, a backend, databases, user accounts, and could actually be sold for that amount of money. Now, I'm making this video because I've seen many people on YouTube promise to help you make $10,000 websites, but they only show you a user interface or a landing page. Now, in 2026, landing pages are pretty easy to make, and sure, you can sell them for a few hundred or a few thousand dollars.
0:19 But to get up to $10,000 or more, you need a real legitimate functionality. Like I said, accounts, signing in, it needs to solve an actual problem, and that's what I want to attempt to do in this video, so it's different from the 500 other videos that you've seen on the platform. So with that said, let's get into it. Let me run through the setup, and let me share with you my idea for something that could actually be worth this amount of money.
0:47 All right, so let's start by getting our environment set up with a few skills added and Claude code ready to go. Then I'm going to get into the idea and we'll start going through all of the tools and features that we're going to use. Now, of course, in order to do this, you need Claude code. Now, Claude code is a desktop application. You can download this to your computer. And while you can use it in the terminal, for most of us, it's going to be much easier to use it in the graphical user interface.
1:13 So if you don't already, go to Anthropic's website or Claude, find Claude code and download the desktop application for your device. Once you download that, you'll need to sign into your account. It should prompt you to do that. And if you don't already have a subscription, you probably will need the $20 subscription at least, in order to get enough usage to actually complete what I'm going to show you. Now, once you sign in, you're going to want to switch over to the code tab here, and just press to make a new session.
1:34 And this is where we're going to start and start adding a few skills that are going to allow us to do some really sleek web design. Now, in Claude, first thing we're going to want to do here, it's just set this to work in a folder. So you can see I'm already working in a folder that I've created called wedding site, but if you don't have a folder here, you can simply press this, go open folder, go to a location that's convenient, like your desktop, and then make a new folder.
2:00 If you have one that you want to work in inside of already, just select it. So I'm going to select this wedding site folder. If you didn't already have one, make a new one and then open that. Okay? So I'm going to go to wedding site. So now all of the changes will apply in here, and immediately I'm going to switch the mode into bypass permission mode, so I don't need to keep accepting all of the changes automatically from Claude.
2:19 Now, in terms of the model, assuming it's still available when you watch this video, you should select Fable 5. If that's not there or you don't want to spend a million dollars, you can go and select Opus 4.8. Both will be completely fine.
