This is a zero-to-hero program, so we'll walk you through step-by-step so that you understand what a website is, how it works, and all of the most important terminology -- by the end you'll be able to talk-the-talk with developers and understand how it all fits together. We’ll cover all the essential skills and concepts of web development, including industry standard tools like visual studio code and professional workflows like using GitHub for version control.

As a freelance web developer, your clients often come to you looking not just for someone to code their website but for help with the entire process. We teach you how to think strategically when mapping out the structure and content of a website, and how to understand UX fundamentals to build websites that are designed to convert from the start.

Whether you want to design sites yourself, or partner with a web designer on your projects we cover all the essential skills to help you design beautiful, eye-catching websites.

HTML is the primary language used in every single website. We'll teach you how to write custom HTML code, creating structural elements like sections, headers and footers as well as all the elements within them like headings, paragraphs, links, images, and contact forms. We'll learn how to use CSS code to style layouts, typography, images, and more, making our websites look as visually stunning as our designs. We'll learn how to diagnose and solve CSS specificity issues when we have conflicting styles and how to troubleshoot CSS problems effectively.

An important part of our teaching philosophy is that our students graduate with all the skills they need to confidently start a new career - and that comes not just from learning techniques but getting practice with real-world examples.

There are lots of different techniques for creating layouts on a website, and we’re going to cover all the most important ones. We'll learn the various display properties, CSS box model, flexbox, CSS grid and positioning so that we can create custom layouts and grids on our site and position our content exactly the way we want. And beyond the foundations, we’ll go set-by-step through creating common layouts and design patterns so that whatever design you want to create you know exactly where to start.

We all know how important mobile is, so we'll spend this chapter learning responsive design and how to use media queries to make your site look good and perform well on every size device. We look at common responsive development techniques and step-by-step workflows used by professionals, to ensure that your websites will be mobile-friendly right from the start.

Diving into more advanced elements & styling techniques that equip you to build modern websites that stand out from the crowd, as well as time-saving tools like advanced CSS selectors, CSS variables and the Tailwind CSS framework.

The best way to learn? Having a chance to follow along the process step-by-step, try it for yourself and then get feedback and support as you go along. That’s what students achieve with our website projects where Tina builds production-ready website projects from start to finish and detailing every single step. You’ll have a chance to build each and every one of these projects for yourself, and customise it to suit your portfolio.

We'll learn how to use jQuery (a form of javascript) to add interactivity to your site as well as how to integrate javascript plugins. Now we can add advanced functionality (like the smooth scrolling in this website), create a dynamic hamburger menu, and learn how to create an accordion, slideshow or lightbox gallery.

With the static site generator Jekyll you'll be able to build a blazing fast and very stable blog or portfolio website. We show you how to create advanced custom layouts for any website you project you might tackle in the future, as well as features like blogs & digital magazines. Jekyll uses liquid templating, which is the same language Shopify is built on so your skills are transferable to future Shopify projects as well!

These are advanced features and techniques that can add functionality to your website, and add value to your client projects. From beautiful interactive search, to adding e-commerce functionality, email newsletters and more.

We will teach you both the technical and strategic techniques to optimise your websites to rank highly in Google search results so that you can drive more traffic to your website. Then we’ll cover the foundations of website analytics and how to optimise your site for social sharing and customise the images and text that appear when someone shares your site. Beyond that, we’ll show you how to make all of this easily editable for your clients so that they have full control of the SEO themselves.

How do you get your website to load quickly? Optimize images? Make sure it looks good across all browsers? We'll teach you the best practices and troubleshooting techniques to make sure your website is production-ready.

Think of hosting like the digital real estate, and domain name as your street address. We'll show you how to connect a custom domain to a website, and hook it up to fast, reliable (and free) hosting. We'll show you how to integrate your site with a content management system so that non-technical users can easily edit the content of your website. We'll also show you our recommended CMS system, CloudCannon as well as how to apply your skills to customise websites built on other platforms.

There is no one path that’s right for everyone, and this course isn’t meant to teach you how to do things exactly as we have done them but how to build a business that fits your goals, your lifestyle and your values. We dive into all the things that nobody tells you about the industry, and show you how to build a business that fits your life, rather than trying to fit your life around your business. Whether your goal is to scale your income, have location independence, more time to spend with your kids or do creative work every day this chapter will help you figure out a plan to achieve it.

We know that launching a new business or side hustle takes more than just technical skills, so we cover everything from how to find clients, how to scope and price projects, how to manage client communication and more. We also share real pitch templates and contracts for you to hit the ground running.

At the end of the bootcamp you’ll have a chance to build a completely custom site from planning & strategy, to wireframing, design, build, and publishing it live. This could be a portfolio site for yourself, a mock client site, a blog for a family member, or even a real client project. This is going to incorporate everything you have learned in the bootcamp and give you the confidence to go out and start your web development career.
