WorkedEvidence: Described by posterPosted Last checked

With no coding experience, Robert Ford used Claude to replace static handouts with four simple, private interactive websites.

How to use this

  1. Tap Copy prompt.
  2. Open Claude.
  3. Paste it into the message box.
  4. Replace anything in [CAPITAL LETTERS IN BRACKETS] with your own details.
  5. Send it, then read the answer before acting on it.

A prompt is the message you send to the AI tool. Copy the one on this page, put your own details where it asks, and read the answer before you act on it.

Prompt

Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

Build a simple static website that replaces my therapy handout on [TOPIC]. Lay it out as [METAPHOR, E.G. A HOUSE WITH ROOMS], let clients map out [WHAT THEY RECORD] interactively, and keep anything they enter stored only in their own browser, with no accounts, tracking or server. Make it calm, clear and easy to use on a phone.

Try this in:

This prompt has blanks to fill in, like [TOPIC]. We'll copy it instead of filling it in, so you can edit it before you send.

The source used Claude. These are general chat tools, so results may differ.

These links are only a shortcut. We're not affiliated with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic or xAI, and your results may not match the source.

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Simple interactive web versions of my client handouts that keep client data private.

Questions to ask me first:
- Which handout should become a site first?
- What should clients be able to do on it?
- How will you host it?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Handout: [TOPIC AND CONTENT]
- Interaction: [MAP, LOG, CHECKLIST, DOWNLOAD]
- Look and feel: [CALM, SIMPLE]
- Hosting: [STATIC HOST, DOMAIN]

Rules:
- Static site only: no server, accounts or analytics.
- Client entries stay in the client's own browser.
- Use plain, non-clinical language for clients.
- Include a note on what the tool is not for, such as crises.

Checkpoint: Show a one-page mockup before building the interactive parts.

If you get stuck: If a feature would need a server, suggest a static alternative.

Verify before you finish: The site works offline after loading and stores nothing remotely.

Output: A small static site ready to upload, plus a short privacy note.

Done when: Clients can use the tool instead of an out-of-date handout.

Claude

Outcome

Robert Ford, a psychotherapist in New Zealand, had static handouts that needed regular updating and wanted simple, slightly interactive websites clients could use, with any data they enter kept private. With no coding experience beyond programming a Commodore 64 in BASIC, Ford gave Claude a simple design prompt for each tool. The result was four static sites: an internal family systems map laid out as a house, a second house walking through basic emotional regulation tools with downloadable information, a life-narrative tree where events are logged on themed branches with photos and music attached, and a guided pathway for Jung's Active Imagination as outlined by Robert Johnson. They replace Ford's out-of-date handouts.

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.
