Our students speak for us

Exceeded my expectations.
I’m more of an in-person type of learner, but The Bold Edge’s web design course exceeded my expectations. I feel like I’m part of a class even though we’re on three different continents, and the videos are clear and thorough. Malkie also brought in experts in the field to give us a fuller picture of web design in real life. I’ve really gained a lot from the course.

This amazing course teaches you everything you need to know to get your business up and running right away!
I was concerned that the course would only be on a very basic level or that I would have to do a lot of learning in different areas before starting to work. But it was so in depth and everything I need to get started on my own was included in the course. I loved every aspect of this course. The coding, working out all the programs, the design...so much learning and great feedback and guidance on so many levels! It was fulfilling- and fun too! Best of all, I learned everything I needed to get my business started!

Don’t let the video-based classes stop you from signing up, the Bold Edge gives you great support!
When I signed up I was afraid that the lack of live classes would mean it would be hard to get support. My worries were for nothing- the support is AMAZING! The resources that I took with me will help me continue to build my skills on my own!

FAQ

(Not the kitchen sink, but everything else. 😀)

What do I need to know before taking Web Design and Marketing?

You need to be very comfortable using a computer, and be familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator and design concepts. If you’ve already learned graphic design, we’ll review your work or give you a design assignment to assess your skills. Students coming in without any design knowledge at all will need to take our mini design course, which covers essential topics related to web design.

How does the course work?

Each lesson is delivered in a video recording where you’ll hear the instructor talk while you view what she’s doing on her screen. You can pause, rewind and rewatch. (You can even watch at double speed in the online version, but we don’t recommend that 😊) 

Each lesson is followed by an assignment so you can apply what you’ve learned. You’ll get written or video feedback on each assignment.

If you have any questions during the course you can always reach us via email during our tech support hours. Our weekly Zoom sessions offer another opportunity to get feedback on projects, including screen sharing. That’s in addition to one-on-one Zoom sessions throughout the course so we can make sure you’re on track. You can also post in our exclusive forum and learn from each other’s questions!

You’ll have access to the course videos for two years.

How long does it take to complete the Web Design and Marketing course?

The course is given over a six-seven month period, with two lessons scheduled per week. You get to decide when to take those two classes each week, depending on what’s going on in your life. There is also a mandatory weekly Zoom class where everyone checks in and we do a quick review (two times to accommodate different time zones).

What happens if I have a question during the course? And what about afterward?

Glad you asked. 😊 Support is one of the hallmarks of The Bold Edge courses. We believe in being there for any questions you have, and offer full support and project feedback during the course. (OK, that’s not really accurate. We actually answer our graduates’ questions way after they finish the course, too!)

This is exactly what I’m looking for – How do I join the Web Design and Marketing course?

Three simple steps:

  1. You fill out a registration form (request one here).
  2. We’ll get back to you with details on how to send a design sample (that’s so we can see if you need to take our add-on design module or if you’re all set).
  3. Assuming everything checks out, we’ll be so excited to welcome you in and show you around our beautiful course platform! 

One thing to keep in mind: we only accept 15 students per cohort so we can give each student our full attention. Once we hit that number, the doors close (and you’ll have to deal with the FOMO until they open again). If you’re interested make sure you send your application in ASAP so you can snag your spot.

What kind of computer do I need?

You need a computer with (at least):

  • I5 processor
  • 8 GB RAM
  • USB drive
  • Mouse (not just a trackpad)
  • 15-inch screen
  • The ability to play audio and videos


Internet access is required for the Web Design and Marketing course

Which software will I need?

You’ll need the Adobe CC student subscription (available here). This subscription includes all the programs you’ll learn during the course.

How do your graduates find jobs?

We regularly post job openings that we find all over the world, and businesses reach out to us all the time when they have openings. We also have a dedicated Job Development team including one fabulous person who focuses on finding Web Design opportunities for you. You’ll also complete the course with the tools and knowledge you need to start a successful freelancing business, which gives you the flexibility to work according to your own schedule.

We support you during the course–and are there for your questions you have on the job, so you feel fully confident all the time!

What will I complete the course with?

You’ll have in-depth knowledge of Web Design and Marketing. By the end of the course, you’ll also have a complete WordPress informational website, ecommerce website, (and eventually your own personal website 🙂 to show off!
