Web Design Academy
Master professional web design with modern AI tools
Most people think building a professional website requires hiring separate specialists for design, writing, coding, and photography. You’ll learn to handle it all yourself.
Plus, you’ll get the intensive support system that sets us apart: weekly live sessions, expert mentors, and small cohorts that ensure you actually succeed – not just struggle through materials alone.
You've seen what AI can create.
Maybe it excited you. Maybe it terrified you.
Either way, you know the world has changed.
The question isn’t whether AI will transform design.
The question is:
Will you be left behind or will you master AI with expert guidance and support?
The demand for AI-enhanced web design skills is growing rapidly. Position yourself for the best opportunities by starting now.

Addressing your concerns
“The Web Design course is extremely thorough, teaching not only web design, but many related aspects so we get an all-around perfect education. But what makes it really different from other courses is the accountability aspect that is great in motivating you to successfully complete the course.”
Tzirel Jacobs, England
Here’s the realistic pricing progression: Your first website can command $1750 (instead of the typical $1,000 beginner rate) because you’re delivering strategic copywriting AND advanced AI-enhanced development AND custom AI images.
By your third website, you’ll charge $2,000. Each project builds your confidence and portfolio, allowing steady rate increases.
Shopify e-commerce projects? You can charge $2,000 right after graduation because e-commerce requires specialized skills that command premium rates.
