Hey, loved the logo package. Can’t wait to use it to promote my new launch but realized I need a website now. Can you help me???
xoxo Client
This situation usually goes one of two ways.
Option One: “Yes, I’d be happy to!”
You’re eager to learn, give it a go; so you take on the project even though it’s unfamiliar territory. How hard can it be? You quickly run into roadblock after roadblock — Why is my sizing off? I designed this mockup in Canva, but I can’t get the site to look how I originally intended it to look. How do I improve load times? There’s rules for accessibility? How do actually launch? You spend so much time on Google, YouTube, ChatGPT, that the project has turned into a burden — stressful & totally unprofitable.
Turns into: “I wish I just stuck with traditional design.” 😖
Option Two: “Sorry, I’m not familiar with web design!”
It sucks to let a dreamy client go when they ask for something you don’t quite feel confident enough yet to sell. Leading to $1,000s lost in your project revenue.
Leads to: “I wish I was able to confidently offer this service to my clients.” 😩
Instead…. imagine being empowered to take on the project

✅ Find your best-fit wireframing software in a way that allows for efficient design
✅ Have a crystal-clear project workflow for any new website project
✅ Supercharge your designs without memorizing programming languages
✅ Understand the strengths and weakness of each content management system
I’ll be honest, getting to this point wasn’t easy.
When I left my corporate graphic design career behind to become a full-time freelance designer, I knew I wanted to master web design.
Through networking, I landed my first few clients, but clients often asked for features and functions in their site that I had no clue if it was even possible.
Years in branding, graphic design, and a Bachelor’s degree wasn’t enough to equip me with all the answers here.
I quickly discovered how different of a medium web design is from traditional graphic design projects. It goes so much further than creating a pinterest-worthy site.
I experienced broken features, confusing site migrations, downed sites, and mobile nightmares.
peep my first website (eek!)
Once I got serious about nailing down the differences between what I knew with graphic design and what I wanted to create with web design, it all begun to click – and quickly!
And this time, I finally started to see the results I’d been working for so long:
✅ My sites match the design caliber created in the wireframing or artboard stage
✅ Responsive and sizing issues are a thing of the past
✅ Bye bye speed and security issues!
The best thing? My clients are ecstatic with the results, coming back with more projects and even more referrals.

Does this only work for those with a graphic design background?
Not at all! While the program acknowledges and leverages graphic design skills, it’s open to anyone interested in mastering core web design principles. Whether you come from a graphic design background or not, our program is structured to help you bridge the gap and excel in front-end web design.
