ABOUT THIS CLASS:

Web Design is fun. It's creative. It gives you a huge self-satisfaction when you look at your work and say, "I made this!". I love that feeling after I'm done working on something. When I lean back in my chair, look at the final result with a smile, and have this little "spark joy" moment.

Often people think Web Design is complicated. That it needs some creative talent or knack for computers. Sure, a lot of people make it very complicated. People make the simplest things complicated. Like most subjects taught in the universities.

But I don't like complicated. I like easy. I like life hacks. I like to take the shortest and simplest route to my destination. I haven't gone to an art school or have a computer science degree. I'm an outsider to this field who hacked himself into it, somehow ending up being a sought-after professional.

That's how I'm going to teach you Web Design. So you're not demotivated on your way with needless complexity. So you enjoy the process because it's simple and fun.

For example, this is a Design class but I don't teach you Photoshop. Because Photoshop is needlessly complicated for Web Design. But people still teach it to web designers. I don't. I teach Figma – a simple tool that is taking over the design world.

Part three and four are Development classes. But I don't teach you how to code. Because for Web Design, coding is needlessly complicated and takes too long to learn. Instead, I teach Webflow – a tool that is taking over the web design world.
