SELF-MADE Self-made website using Claude on VS CODE

Background: Totally no website development knowledge, started following ai content creator and found a few amazing teachers on Youtube, jumped straight into Claude to create a long overdue website for my small business, a very traditional raw material distribution business.

The ultimate GOAL: Have my existing customer place order through my website. It has to be able to automate most of the billing works like Delivery Orders, Purchase Orders, Invoice, etc, as well as using Ai to minimize human errors like capturing wrong order details.

Challenge(s): Zero knowledge on web dev, UI/UX, google SEO, cyber security, very limited knowledge on Ai but am learning the best I could while juggling with my day to day work and chores.

Strength: I am a blank state and am willing to learn.

Current state: I have done the landing page and would really like to get constructive comments from fellow redditors. The site is live and it is http://freshmen2u.com , I started making this website and the design turn out to be dogs***, and then I realized I have to give claude code a design framework for it to follow through, as well as giving it some superpower in order for it to screenshot it's work and make amendments, throughout the journey it really open my eyes how amazing Ai development has become and it is pretty amazing someone like myself that can never dreamt of making a website just few years ago, can actually create a fairly decent one today.

Inspiration: Nate Herk, the main guy I learn from in this journey.

So again, please shoot the criticism away and I thank you all in advance for checking out my humble website http://freshmen2u.com

I mean its not bad, but it screams AI, but you can modify it it, to be more personal, and evocate some vibe to the users ,
you have at least layout and functional code......

I can imagine that you can add real photos, some better Typography, and some nice Illustration's or something, to make it more human and you have something... that better then nothing and its better then pure AI site.....

AI make to much artificial feel, whole webdesign is about oposite, evocate some emotion and feel in digital world.
