The PROACTIVE Co workshop room at Burleigh Heads

Build your website with Claude.
Live by 4pm.

One full day at Burleigh Heads. In the morning you design like a strategist, guided by the PROACTIVE marketing method from Chris's book: your purpose, your keywords, your competitors, your audience, your brand. In the afternoon you build like a developer: Claude Code writes the site, you put it live on a real URL and wire up working capture — a contact form plus a quiz funnel or booking link. Not a template. Not a subscription. A lead-generation website you own, every file of it.

Stop paying website rent

A website that's
an asset, not a bill.

This is for founders, tradies, consultants and operators who need leads, not a prettier brochure. WordPress is the most popular CMS on the internet and also the most hacked: plugins and themes that never stop needing updates, and $250+ a month to host and maintain properly, or a rebuild when it gets compromised. Page builders charge rent forever, and agencies charge $15k for what you'll build today. You'll walk out with a live lead-generation page, a funnel landing enquiries in your own CRM with an automated reply, and plain HTML with no plugins to update and no admin login to attack. Running costs: roughly $20 a month for Claude, free hosting, $12 a year for a domain.

What you walk out with

  • 01
    A live lead-generation websiteOne page, built from your brief, your brand and your words, live on a real URL by 4pm. Hero, proof, offer and a conversion action, no filler, no fake testimonials.
  • 02
    Working capture, not just a pageA contact form on every site (a form beats a displayed email, and gets less spam), plus your primary action: a 60-second quiz that qualifies leads into your own Brevo CRM with an instant reply in your voice, or a booking link (Brevo Meetings or Calendly) people book, and can pay, straight into your calendar.
  • 03
    A brand guidelines document, foreverBuilt in the room from your logo, your purpose and values, and three sites you admire. It drives this website today and every social graphic you make from now on. Plus the 10-phase Website Build Playbook and every prompt from the day, to add pages whenever you want.

Why it won't look AI-built

  • 01
    Strategy before codeThe morning is the PROACTIVE marketing method applied to your business: purpose, keyword research, competitor opportunity, audience, content. The inputs 90% of website projects never get, and the reason the page converts instead of just existing.
  • 02
    Real proof onlyReal testimonials with permission, or none at all. We never invent quotes, star ratings or client logos. A trustworthy page beats an impressive one.
  • 03
    Built to be foundPlain, fast, server-rendered HTML with your suburb and service in it. Google reads every word, and so do the AI assistants your customers are starting to search with.
Who this is for

Three kinds of people
leave with three kinds of wins.

New brand, rebranding or rebuilding

Launching a new brand — or stuck with a website that's dated, rented from a page builder, or built by someone who's long gone. Either way you leave with one sharp lead-generation page you own outright, and a brand guidelines document that makes everything you produce afterwards match.

Launching a campaign

Existing or new business, about to put a marketing campaign into the world. Build the landing page the campaign points at: designed to convert visitors into leads, with the same keywords you'll run in your ads — which is exactly how Google Ads optimisation works.

Building a personal brand

Author, speaker, coach. A website built around you — your book, your talks, your coaching — where people book appointments or webinar seats straight into your calendar, and every enquiry lands in your own CRM.

The day, 9am to 4pm

Morning: strategist.
Afternoon: developer.

🎯1 · Strategy interview, 9:50am

Claude interviews you through the PROACTIVE method: your purpose and values, the keywords your customers actually type, the gap your competitors leave open, and the one audience this page captures. Those answers become your brief, and your quiz questions.

🎨2 · Brand guidelines & words, 10:45am

Your logo, your values and the three sites you admire become a brand guidelines document you keep forever. Then Claude drafts every section of the page in your voice, and you edit it until it sounds like you.

3 · Build & go live, 1:15pm

Claude Code builds the page from your morning's design files while you direct and preview, complete with a branded share graphic so it looks right on social media. Then it deploys to Netlify and your site is on the internet. Phones out, big screen, the good moment.

🔗4 · Wire your capture, 2:45pm

Contact form and quiz connected to your Brevo CRM with an instant automated reply, or a bookable (even payable) calendar link. Then the test: your neighbour becomes your first lead, live, from their phone.

Chris Hogan, PROACTIVE Co
The honest promise

One page, live,
working. No asterisks.

Here's exactly what you get. By 4pm: one lead-generation page, live on a real URL, with working capture — a contact form, plus a quiz wired to your CRM with an automated reply or a booking link connected to your calendar — and a brand guidelines document you'll use for years. What I won't promise is a ten-page website in six hours; nobody can deliver that properly, so I don't sell it. You'll leave with the playbook and the prompts to add every other page yourself, and you'll actually know how, because you built the first one in the room. I've been building websites since 1998. This is the fastest honest path I know.

Pricing

One day.
Your website, owned.

A professional build with this level of detail costs $3,000 to $6,000+. You build it yourself in a day, with 30 years of web experience beside you. Launch pricing while the workshop is new: the standard price is $1,499; the first cohorts get it for $990.

Launch price for the first cohorts; the standard price of $1,499 inc. GST applies once launch seats are gone. 6 seats per day so every attendee ships. In person at Burleigh Heads, 9am to 4pm with an hour for lunch. Want this for your whole team instead? See the on-site team workshop or · 1300 636 334.

Why learn it from me

You'll build the same stack my site runs on.

Thirty years in multimedia design. Websites designed and built since 1998 — static sites exactly like the one you'll build today — and custom ecommerce back when it had to be built from scratch, long before the off-the-shelf platforms. And proactiveco.au runs on exactly what you'll build: plain HTML on Netlify, small serverless functions, Brevo doing the CRM, chat and email. The quiz funnel you'll wire up is a working version of the audit funnel taking this site's own enquiries. You're learning the real thing from someone who runs it.

Templates make your business look like everyone else's. A brief, a brand and your own words make it look like yours.

Questions we actually get asked

Asked in the room.
Answered here.

Do I need to be technical?
No. You direct, Claude builds. Your job is to know your business, your customers and your offer. The morning is business thinking, the afternoon is telling Claude what to build and checking what comes back. The pre-work guide walks you through every install, and the first half hour of the day is set aside to fix anything that didn't work.
Will my site really be live by 4pm?
Yes, that's the promise and we keep it honest: one page, live on a real URL, with working capture. Every site ships a contact form, and on top of that either a quiz that lands leads in your CRM and fires an automated reply, or a booking link people can book time with you through. What we don't promise is a ten-page website in a day. You take home your brand guidelines and the full playbook to grow it page by page.
What does it cost to run afterwards?
About $20 a month for Claude, which you likely already have, free Netlify hosting, a free Brevo account, and around $12 a year for your domain. No page-builder subscription, no agency retainer. You own the files.
Why not just use WordPress?
WordPress is the most popular CMS on the internet, and that popularity makes it the most attacked. Running it well means constant plugin, theme and core updates, and properly managed hosting that can run $250 or more a month. Hosted cheap and left alone, getting hacked and rebuilt is a matter of when, not if. The plain HTML site you build today has no plugins to update, no database to compromise and no admin login to attack, so almost nothing to maintain and almost nothing to pay.
I already have a website. Is this still useful?
Yes. Most attendees with an existing site use the day to build a dedicated lead-generation page for their best offer, something most business websites don't have. You'll also leave able to update and extend what you build, which is usually the thing an old website never allowed.
What do I need to bring?
A laptop with the pre-work done (we send a step-by-step guide and check it at 9am), your logo and a few photos, your business details, any real customer testimonials you have permission to use, and links to three websites you like. The guide covers all of it.
Mac or Windows?
Either. The pre-work guide has a version for each. If you're on a Mac, know your Apple ID and password before the day.
Why is it $990 now and $1,499 later?
The better question is why it's so cheap. Commission a professional to design and build a website or landing page with this level of detail — strategy, brand guidelines, copy in your voice, working lead capture — and you'll pay no less than $3,000, and more like $6,000+ with customisation. In this room you build it yourself, guided all day by 30 years in multimedia design: websites designed and built since 1998, static sites exactly like the one you'll build, and custom ecommerce back when it had to be built from scratch. $990 is the launch price for the first cohorts; $1,499 is the standard price once launch seats are gone. Same day, same outcomes either way.
What happens after the workshop?
You leave with a live site, your leads landing in your own Brevo account, and the PROACTIVE Website Build Playbook, the same 10-phase method we use on client builds, to extend the site page by page. Homework is small and specific: connect your domain, check your leads on Monday, add one page.

Stop renting your website.
