Claude Design FULL Tutorial: Beginner to Pro

The ultimate Claude Design tutorial for 2026, end to end for a single fictional roofing company. You'll build a full branded design system, a live landing page with tweakable variants and service subpages, a motion graphic ad generator that stitches Higgsfield images and Kling 3.0 video into a 15 second Reels ad, a shingle pitch deck, and a signable contract document. Then you'll consolidate everything into a Claude Code repo, deploy the site to Netlify in one prompt, and wire an admin sign-in that receives real form leads. Claude Design is Anthropic's design surface that runs on Claude Opus 4.8. It works from the web or the Claude Desktop app, and every project starts from a design system: company blurb, fonts, logos, colors, and a brand guide with logo variations, motion ideas, color ramps, and web components. From that system Claude Design generates from four templates: website, animation, slides, and document. This tutorial uses Higgsfield for supporting assets (Recraft V4.1 in vector mode for the logo, Seedream 4.5 for landing-page and ad-scene images, and Kling 3.0 for ad video). It uses Sonnet 4.6 in Claude Chat to source Google font pairings and color palettes for the brand guide. It uses Claude Code with the Netlify connector to consolidate the design system, website, slide deck, video ad, contract, and Claude skills into a single repo, and to deploy the finished site to a live Netlify URL with admin sign-in wired to environment variables. The end result is a full Apex Roofing marketing stack running on one branded system
