Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! 80% of our students start with zero coding experience. We start from the very basics and build up gradually. If you can use a computer and follow instructions, you can learn to code. Many successful students came from teaching, healthcare, retail—completely non-tech backgrounds.
Most students are ready to take on simple client projects by week 8-10. You don't need to know everything to start earning. Many students land their first $1,500-2,000 project before completing the full course. We teach you how to scope projects to your current skill level.
Any computer (Mac, Windows, or Linux) made in the last 5 years will work fine. All software we use is completely free: VS Code (code editor), Chrome/Firefox (browsers), Git (version control). Total software cost: $0.
We teach multiple strategies: local business outreach (restaurants, gyms, medical offices), freelance platforms (Upwork, Fiverr), networking, and referrals. Most students find their first clients are local businesses who need websites but don't want to pay agency prices.
