Discover How To Easily Attract Clients, Use WordPress To Build Websites Faster, And Create A Sustainable Long-Term Business
Over the past 11 years, we have taught over 31,000 students how to build websites using the best platforms, including WordPress. We got great results, but one of the biggest challenges our students faced was how to generate more business. They had the technical skills, but they needed a steady stream of good-paying clients. So we rolled up our sleeves and rebuilt our entire training program to include marketing and business training, as well as detailed information on technical skills.
“Soon into the course I gained enough confidence and knowledge that I ventured out and easily got my first client. To be able to discuss the clients needs with them and continue with their website development can be attributed to the course material. Word of mouth advertising has already spread to the point where I have gained three more new clients in the last month.” – Paul Kiziak
Announcing The Most Comprehensive Training System in the Industry: “The Successful Web Designer”
Including how to find clients.
Most web designers think clients want a pretty website. But, what they really want is a website that makes them money. That’s where we come in.
When we teach you the techniques for quickly and easily building websites that make money, you’ll be able to charge 4 times more than other web designers. Plus, our methods are simple, easy-to-follow and they work for beginning or advanced web designers.
If you’re a complete beginner — I’m talking “barely-know-how-to-turn-on-the-computer beginner” — all you have to do is follow along with us and in just a few months you’ll have a successful – and profitable – web design business. You’ll be knocking out websites and lining clients up.
There won’t be anything to sort through. You won’t have to figure anything out on your own. We’ll give you everything in a step-by-step format…
Unique, one-of-a-kind training
You get something different with our training program that you just won’t find anywhere else… business and marketing training to help you make money. We don’t expect you to invest in your web design business without getting a return on that investment.
When you invest in us and start the training you will learn how to build WordPress websites from start to finish. At the end of this part of your training you will have at least one website in your portfolio to show clients.
While you are learning WordPress, we will help you get your first client and teach you the skills you need to get more clients and sustain your business. We integrate the WordPress training with business and marketing training, so your skills are sharpened in both areas at the same time.
But we don’t stop there… we will teach you how to build your business from the beginning stage to the growth stage and beyond. We’ll even teach you how to earn recurring income for your projects. When you combine this business training with our step-by-step courses that allow you to learn at your own pace, you will get results.

Laser focused step-by-step courses
After designing hundreds of training courses, we have learned a thing or two about what works. These web design courses are structured so you will see results quickly. We have carefully designed the courses so you won’t get bogged down. You have two options when going through the training: You can go through individual courses at your own pace, or follow specific paths that we have created.
Our courses are presented with a combination of written material, screenshots, and videos. The videos are short and specific, so it’s easy to refer back to them if you need a refresher. We’ve found that this is the most effective way to train, and it accommodates everyone’s learning style.
Startup Track Training Material
Our Startup Track is designed for both beginner and advanced students alike. If you’re just getting started, you’ll learn everything you need to know to build and run a successful web design business.

Here’s what our students are saying…
“I have been able to stop doing everything with my business myself and get help in specific areas. I have also found new services to add to my business. I was only charging for web design and giving other services away for free.” – Jonathan McDougald
“I built two sites, one for my business, and another as a learning site. I would have paid thousands for the business site. I am now capable of managing it myself and improving as my skills develop.” – Wayne Cordrey
“Well, before I started the course, I only had one client. Since I’ve taken the course I’ve created 3 sites and I have one that I’m currently building and someone actually contacted me last night about a site. Things are great.” – JM Burelle

“I started using your free videos and I learned so much. I must admit that I am very very frugal (CHEAP!) to say the least . But after seeing some of the other free tutorials that are out there I began to notice a serious difference in the quality of the instruction. So I knew that eventually if I wanted to grow in my knowledge I would have to invest in a full series or two. When I saw that you offered a monthly subscription for less than fifty bucks I had to do it. I have a very busy schedule so I am only able to watch one or two videos a night but let me tell you that the website building bundle has me ready to completely revamp my website in less than a week. I cant wait to send you before and after files. Please keep up the great work.” – Mike Hackley

“I would personally like to thank you and your team for helping me build a successful business here in Australia. Your products have helped me build sites for my clients that they are very happy with. Oh also..you have helped make a few dollars for me as well along the way :) Cheers.” -Neil Bishop
“Love the videos and find them much more effective than classroom instruction or text books. I can replay them as often as it takes to learn a technique unlike a class room demo (when the class is over, IT’S OVER). Hearing a live human being offering arcane tips and placing emphasis on important points during the process is something a book can never do. Your tutorials have given me the confidence to call myself a professional.” – Elinore Snyder
