The Cloud

A campaign explaining how cloud computing works and its environmental impact, with plain-English guides and school resources.

The pitch

The Cloud is a public education campaign that turns the invisible machinery of cloud computing into plain-English guides and school-ready lesson materials, with a clear-eyed look at its environmental footprint in the UK. Built for teachers, students and eco-conscious citizens, it explains data centres, networks and energy use in language anyone can follow. The domain 'thecloud.org.uk' is a natural fit: short, memorable, and authoritative for a trusted British resource on both the digital and planetary costs of the cloud.

For UK educators, students, and environmentally conscious citizens.

Build it with your AI agent

The build brief for this riff: the full pitch plus the ground rules, ready for an AI coding agent.

Build The Cloud

You are a product engineer working with an AI coding agent. Build the product described below as a polished, launchable first version. Make your own decisions where the description is open: the point is a finished product, not a plan.

Project name: The Cloud
Tagline: A campaign explaining how cloud computing works and its environmental impact, with plain-English guides and school resources.
Domain: thecloud.org.uk
The pitch: The Cloud is a public education campaign that turns the invisible machinery of cloud computing into plain-English guides and school-ready lesson materials, with a clear-eyed look at its environmental footprint in the UK. Built for teachers, students and eco-conscious citizens, it explains data centres, networks and energy use in language anyone can follow. The domain 'thecloud.org.uk' is a natural fit: short, memorable, and authoritative for a trusted British resource on both the digital and planetary costs of the cloud.
Audience: UK educators, students, and environmentally conscious citizens.

Requirements:
- Choose the simplest stack that genuinely delivers this. A focused web app or site is fine; deployable to a single host.
- Shipping quality: clean layout, fast load, sensible defaults, readable on mobile.
- Design language: the product has its own identity, not a template default. Palette: deep cloud blue #1f4e79, natural moss green #4e7f5a, soft rain grey #6b7b8c, chalkboard cream #f4f1e8. Visual style: clean educational infographic with subtle natural illustrations. Build the UI in that theme - backgrounds, accents and type personality - rather than a generic dark-gray-and-lime scheme.
- Build the core user loop end to end. Avoid dead buttons and placeholder pages.
- Keep the first version tight enough to launch this month. Note anything deliberately deferred.
- No cryptocurrency, gambling or pay-to-win mechanics, even as a joke.
- When done, list the 3 most useful things to do to reach the first real users.

Respond with the finished build.
