This course is so much more than "how to design a website using Squarespace". That's only the basis of the course; the rest is jam-packed with tips, tricks, and advice on how to make more money designing websites. I've taken my 10+ years of experience and condensed these invaluable lessons into simple, easy to follow steps.

The only live videos are the short intro parts where I setup each section. The majority of the lectures are screencasts so you can follow along with what I'm actually doing. Learning by watching has been proven to be the most effective way for the average learner.

• No prior programming or coding knowledge AT ALL is required to take this course.
• This is the perfect course if you are a beginner web designer and want to pick up more web design clients. It is an incredible easy-to-follow course.
• I employ the ELI5 ("explain it like I'm 5") teaching method, so this course is designed for all skill levels. I have created the course with newbies designers in mind, but anyone that wants to build a website but is scared of the idea of coding should take this course.
