Building a high-quality website for a service business is a 3-4 week ordeal. You need a designer for the layout, a developer for the build, a copywriter for the content, a motion designer for the animations, and a stock library subscription for the imagery. None of them are cheap and none of them are fast.

Most small businesses spend £5,000 to £15,000 on a landing page that ends up looking like every other landing page on the internet. Same hero shot. Same three-column features section. Same stock photo of a smiling team in a glass-walled office. The template economy has flattened design quality across entire industries.

The tools to do this differently already exist. Claude Code can write production frontend code. Open-source design skills bake in best-practice principles. Generative video and image models produce bespoke assets for cents per output. The problem is nobody has stitched them together into a single workflow.

A complete residential solar landing page — hero, services, process, testimonials, CTA — built end-to-end in one Claude Code session. Production-quality frontend code, mobile responsive, with a coherent design system that does not look AI-generated.

A custom 3D hero animation of solar panels and batteries installing on a house. The kind of asset that usually means a motion designer and a two-week turnaround. Generated in 90 seconds for $0.70.

Bespoke imagery across every section. No stock photos, no licensing fees, no shots that have appeared on a thousand other websites. Each image generated to brief in under a minute.

Claude Code as the build environment, running inside Anti Gravity as the IDE. Auto-mode on so the agent runs end-to-end without me approving every step. The whole build was about 8 prompts.

The "taste" skill , installed from GitHub at the start of the session. This is the unlock. It is a free skill that loads a set of design principles — typography hierarchy, spacing systems, colour theory, motion design — directly into Claude's context. The output goes from "AI demo" to "agency build" the moment this skill is active.

Fal AI (Kling v3 Standard) for the hero animation. Text-to-video at roughly $0.70 per 5-second clip. The standard tier is materially cheaper than the pro tier and the quality holds up for web use. I ran the prompt twice to get the framing right.

Nanobanana for the supporting imagery across the rest of the page. Fast, cheap, and the output sits comfortably alongside the Kling animation without an obvious style mismatch.

20 minutes from blank terminal to live, polished website. The longest single step is the Kling animation rendering.

Under $3 in marginal costs. The same build through an agency is £5,000+ and 3-4 weeks.

Production quality. This is the bar that matters. The output looks like an agency build, not an AI demo. The animation is bespoke. The imagery is bespoke. The code is clean. The design system holds together.

Reusable workflow. Solar was the test case. The same four-tool stack works for any service business landing page — installers, consultancies, agencies, B2B SaaS. Swap the prompts, keep the workflow.
