I am still learning this too

I have been using Claude for a while now, but I still think of myself as fairly new to it. There is always something I did not know it could do. I am not a developer, and I did not come to this from a technical background.

What I do have is a small creative business, and somewhere along the way Claude went from a thing I asked the odd question to, into the tool I run most of the operation on. The website, the writing, the admin, the bits I used to dread. I taught myself how by using it, getting plenty of it wrong, and slowly working out what actually helps and what just looks clever.

This guide is me writing that down. Not the polished, official version, but the way I would explain it to a friend sitting next to me: what to install, how to give Claude a memory so you stop repeating yourself, how to let it use your tools safely, and the handful of habits that make the difference. If it saves you the long way round, that is the whole point.

If you get stuck, or you would rather someone just set it up with you, that is what getting in touch is for. Otherwise, the best place to start is the guide itself.
