Become a Website Builder

A plain-English, step-by-step guide. No coding required — if you can send a text message, you can help build our website.

The Big Idea

How this works in one minute

Our whole website lives in one online folder (on a site called GitHub). You won't touch any code. Instead, an AI assistant named Claude does the editing — you just describe what you want in everyday words, like talking to a helpful coworker. Claude makes the change, the owner gives it a quick OK, and the live website updates by itself.

You describe it → Claude builds it → the owner approves it → it goes live. That's the whole loop.

Before You Start

What you'll need


Step by Step

Get set up & make your first change


  1. Create a Claude account

    On a computer, open claude.ai/code in your web browser. (On a phone or tablet, you can also download the free Claude app from the App Store or Google Play.) Sign up with your email and pick a password. A free account is fine to begin with.

  2. Create a GitHub account

    Our website's files live on GitHub. Go there and make a free account. Write down the email and username you used — you'll share the email in the next step. Think of GitHub as the locked filing cabinet that holds the website; you need a key to it.

  3. Ask for access (get your key)

    Email mcconnellentllc@gmail.com and say you'd like to join the website building team. Include the email or username from your new GitHub account. The owner will add you to the F&H website project so your changes are allowed.

  4. Accept the invite

    You'll get an email from GitHub inviting you to the F-HGolf project. Open it and click Accept. This is the step that gives Claude permission to change our real website — not just a practice copy. If you don't see the email, check your spam folder.

  5. Connect Claude to our website

    Back in Claude (at claude.ai/code), connect your GitHub account when it asks, then choose the F-HGolf project from the list. Claude can now see all the pages of the site, ready to edit.

  6. Describe what you want changed

    Type your request in plain English, just like asking a person. Be specific about what and where. For example:

    • “Change the Tuesday clubhouse hours to 3–6 PM.”
    • “Add a new tournament: Fall Scramble, October 4, 4-person scramble, $300 per team.”
    • “Add this photo to the Hall of Fame page for John Smith.” (you can attach a photo)
    • “There's a typo on the home page — it says 'Fleming, Colordo.' Please fix it.”

    Claude will make the change and tell you what it did. You can ask it to adjust anything before it's finished.

  7. It gets reviewed, then goes live

    Claude saves your change as a suggestion (called a “pull request”). The owner gives it a quick look and approves it. Once approved, the live website updates on its own within a minute or two. That's it — you just built part of the website!
