Build real websites.
Help real people.
Learn while doing it.
Webspansion is forming a small volunteer/apprentice team for people who want hands-on experience with websites, AI tools, outreach, content, and community impact — without pretending this is some giant polished company.
No fake busywork. No "coffee intern" energy. Just real projects, real learning, and real people who need websites.
What you actually get out of this
Not a certificate. Not a LinkedIn badge. Real, concrete experience you can actually show.
Real projects
You'll help with actual websites for small businesses, nonprofits, student groups, and community organizations — not random fake assignments that disappear into a folder.
Portfolio proof
When appropriate and approved, you can use selected work as portfolio experience, case study material, or resume talking points. These are production sites, not practice projects.
AI workflow experience
You'll learn how to actually use tools like Claude — guiding them instead of fighting them — instead of doing everything manually from scratch.
Client communication practice
You'll see how messy real client information becomes clean website content. That skill matters way more than knowing the right shortcut.
Design + website reps
You'll get practice spotting bad spacing, weak layouts, broken buttons, weird mobile issues, and pages that just feel off. The kind of eye you only build by looking at real things.
Community impact
The work helps people and organizations that may not have the budget or tech knowledge for a professional website. Your contribution actually matters to someone.
3 roles. That’s it.
Claude helps with the heavy lifting. People help with taste, judgment, follow-through, and making sure the work is actually useful.
Outreach & Client Coordinator
You help manage the human side of Webspansion. Find small businesses, nonprofits, student groups, and immigrant-owned businesses that need a website. Help keep the client pipeline organized so projects actually move forward instead of stalling.
What you’ll help with
- Find potential Webspansion applicants — especially Nepali, South Asian, and community-focused orgs
- Send outreach emails and DMs using approved templates
- Reply to interested people and help them understand the process
- Follow up for missing logos, photos, links, hours, and contact info
- Organize client info before it goes into the website workflow
- Keep a simple tracker updated so nothing falls through the cracks
- Flag unclear or risky client info for review
Good if you’re the type who…
Is organized, not scared to message people, can follow up without being annoying, and actually follows through when you say you will.
- Organized
- Friendly
- Email / DMs
- Follow-ups
- Client info
AI Website Builder + QA Apprentice
You help build and improve Webspansion websites using Claude, Claude Code, HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript. You don’t need to be an expert developer — but you should have decent design taste, be willing to learn, and be careful enough to test things before launch. You also own the QA side so sites don’t go live with broken buttons or weird mobile layouts.
What you’ll help with
- Use Claude / Claude Code to help build static websites
- Make layout and design improvements
- Check mobile responsiveness on real screen sizes
- Test buttons, links, forms, sections, and navigation
- Make sure client facts aren’t invented or wrong
- Check spelling, spacing, image quality, and basic SEO tags
- Run the pre-launch QA checklist before every client preview
- Help fix bugs before a site goes live
Good if you’re the type who…
Likes websites, has basic HTML/CSS knowledge (or genuinely wants to learn it), has a good eye for design, and is detail-oriented enough to catch the stuff other people miss.
- HTML / CSS
- Claude Code
- Design eye
- Mobile testing
- Detail-oriented
Content & Storytelling Assistant
You help turn Webspansion into a content engine. Document projects, create Instagram stories, find useful blog topics, turn blog ideas into short-form videos, and connect blogs and videos together so Webspansion has a real content ecosystem that actually builds trust and awareness.
What you’ll help with
- Create Instagram story ideas and simple story graphics
- Research helpful blog topics for small businesses, nonprofits, and community orgs
- Find topics that work as both a blog post AND a short video
- Turn blogs into short-form video scripts using Claude
- Create before/after website content and founder journey posts
- Help build client story and case study content
- Connect blog posts, reels, and website pages together
- Help build a simple content calendar using Claude for hooks, captions, and outlines
Good if you’re the type who…
Understands social media, likes storytelling, can spot good content ideas before they're obvious, and can help make Webspansion feel alive instead of just being a website.
- Reels / video
- Blog ideas
- Storytelling
- Repurposing
Tiny team. Big leverage.
Webspansion is not trying to recruit a massive team. Claude handles a lot. The real need is a few reliable people who bring human judgment.
- Drafting website copy and blog posts
- Planning layouts and page structure
- Writing and debugging code
- Repurposing content across formats
- Organizing client information
- Generating hooks, captions, and outlines
- Approving output before it ships
- Catching weird design and layout issues
- Making sure copy sounds like a real person
- Following up with actual clients
- Making judgment calls Claude can’t
- Spotting things that are technically fine but feel off
Claude can draft — humans approve.
Claude can build — humans catch the weird stuff.
Claude can write — humans make sure it actually sounds real.
Claude can organize — humans follow up with people.
How the content loop works
Good content connects together. One idea should be able to travel across a blog post, a short video, an Instagram story, and back to the website.
Real example
"Why a small business needs more than just Instagram" can become…
- A website blog post explaining it in depth
- A 30-second reel with the same core point
- An Instagram story poll ("Does your business have a website?")
- A CTA inside the blog saying "Watch the video version of this"
- A social post linking back to the blog
This is exactly what the Content & Storytelling Assistant role helps build.
How this actually works
Simple process. No mystery. Joining the interest list doesn't guarantee a spot.
Join the interest list
Tell me who you are, which role fits you best, and what you'd want to help with. No cover letter. No portfolio required (but sharing one helps).
Tell me what role fits you
Outreach & client coordination, AI website building + QA, or content and storytelling. Pick the one that actually matches how you think and work.
Do a small starter task
If it looks like a good fit, I'll send a small real-world starter task relevant to the role. Not a trick. Just a way to see if working together actually works.
Help with real projects
Once the fit is confirmed, you'll contribute to actual live work. Projects are reviewed before anything ships. You'll always know what's expected.
Be honest with yourself first
Upfront honesty saves everyone time. Here’s exactly what this is and what it isn’t.
Currently unpaid / volunteer-apprentice
Webspansion doesn’t charge clients and doesn’t generate revenue right now. There’s no compensation. The value is experience, real portfolio work, and community impact — not a paycheck. If paid roles ever open, they will be clearly labeled.
No guaranteed job or paid role
This isn’t a pipeline to employment. This is a small personal project run by one person in college, not a company. Don’t join if you need something that pays right now.
Flexible and project-based
No fixed hours. No mandatory weekly commitments. School, work, and life come first. You contribute what you can, when there’s capacity. If you disappear for a while without a heads-up, that’s a problem.
Small team, limited spots
This is intentionally small. I’m not trying to run a 20-person volunteer program. A few reliable people beat a dozen who check in once and vanish.
Work is reviewed before it ships
Client info must be handled carefully. Nothing goes to a client without review. If something is wrong or unclear, it gets fixed before it moves forward.
Your work actually goes live
If you contribute to a project and it gets built, real people will use what you helped make. That’s the whole point — and it’s also why the quality bar exists.
This might be right for you if…
Want in?
Drop your info and tell me what you’d actually want to help with. I’m only looking for a few people right now, so this is more of an interest list than a huge application process.
A few things to know before reaching out:
This is currently an unpaid volunteer/apprentice opportunity — not a job, internship stipend, or paid position. Joining the interest list does not guarantee selection or any specific role.
Anyone who contributes to Webspansion projects agrees to keep client information private — that means not sharing client names, contact details, submitted materials, or project specifics with anyone outside the project. Work is reviewed before it goes live or is used publicly.
Got it — you’re on the list.
I’ll reach out by email when there’s a good fit or a spot opens up. Thanks for wanting to be part of this.
Honest answers to the obvious questions
Worth reading before you reach out.
Is this paid? +
Not right now. This is currently a small volunteer/apprentice opportunity focused on learning, portfolio experience, and community impact. If paid roles ever open, they will be clearly labeled and announced. Don’t join expecting a paycheck — that’s not what this is.
Is this a guaranteed internship? +
No. Joining the interest list doesn’t guarantee a spot. Webspansion is starting small and will only bring people in when there’s a good fit, enough structure, and enough capacity to make it worthwhile for both sides.
Do I need coding experience? +
Not for every role. The AI Website Builder + QA role benefits from basic HTML/CSS or genuine design interest. Outreach and content roles are a good fit for people who are organized, creative, and willing to learn — no code required. Willingness to learn matters more than what you already know.
Will I work with real clients? +
Possibly, but only once the workflow is clear and your work can be reviewed first. Webspansion helps real businesses and organizations, so client-facing work needs care. You won’t be thrown in without knowing what’s expected.
Can I use this in my portfolio? +
When appropriate and approved, yes. The goal is for contributors to gain real, usable experience and portfolio proof while helping community-focused projects. If you helped build something that went live, that’s yours to reference.
Why does Webspansion use Claude / AI? +
AI helps with drafting, planning, coding, organizing, debugging, and repurposing content fast. But people still make the final judgment, check quality, and make sure the work actually helps the client. The goal isn’t to replace the human part — it’s to make the human part count more.
What kind of person isn’t a good fit? +
Someone who needs guaranteed pay right now. Someone who wants a formal full-time job. Someone who can’t follow review rules for client information. Someone who says they’re interested and then disappears for months without a word. This is small and collaborative — reliability matters more than skill level.
