Avalanche · Claude Blueprint

Your starting line for building sites with Claude.

Duplicate this Local site, hand Claude your design files, and run the wp-site-build skill. Everything below is already wired up so each build starts from the same clean, battle-tested base.

This page is a placeholder. When you build a real site on this blueprint, the home page gets replaced. Until then, this is your "start here."

The process, start to finish

0

Prep design files

Collect every page .html and every shared stylesheet from Claude. Note global elements, directories, and category pills.

1

Local + repo

Duplicate this blueprint. Start version control in GitHub Desktop and publish a private repo before any changes.

2

Claude build (Opus)

Open a chat on Opus, point Claude at the design files, and invoke the wp-site-build skill. It converts pages, builds + seeds ACF, and more.

3

QA against the design

Check every page vs. the design, confirm the back end is pre-filled, test the mobile menu and 404.

4

Performance

Run PageSpeed; the baseline (self-hosted fonts, CSS reveals, dequeued CSS) is already applied.

5

Deploy

Code → GitHub → WP Engine. Content (DB) → Local push. Then run Yoast → Tools → Optimize SEO Data.
