Learn how to build your own beautiful website without any coding knowledge! This class is great for creatives and small business owners wanting to build their own site. It also includes a bonus section on how to build a portfolio site on Adobe Portfolio, which is free/included if you have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription!

A Website Class for Creatives

I usually make illustration and digital painting class, so why make a website building class? Because creatives need one, and many don't realize that they can do it entirely themselves! I know people who spend $10K+ to hire teams to build their websites, and to be honest they look the pretty much same as the ones I build on my own. I've worked as a project lead at a digital design agency so I also know how to approach it from a professional perspective.

I want to share my experience in a way that is helpful and actionable to creatives and small businesses. I love building my own websites and wanted to show how others can do it too.

What You'll Learn

We’ll go over how Shopify works, including:
