Testimonials

Danielle Worthman

Dani didn't take the Web Design for Beginners (HTML/CSS) workshop to become a web developer, but to help her at her current marketing job. The first few classes gave her the necessary coding skills to immediately start making updates on web email pages at her job. The skills she learned in the course helped her gain a promotion and she has been working on building web projects outside of work as well.

Dani created a website for her dance company in this course:
Final Project

Samantha Spensley

Sam was working as a project coordinator and never coded or designed anything before taking the Web Design for Beginners (HTML/CSS) course. She wanted to test herself with this course and see if she had what it takes coding and working with the computer in a more technical way. She not only built a strong foundation in the class, but was then accepted into Galvanize's Web Development Immerse program in Denver. She is now working for OrthoFi as a Jr. Developer.

She created this Final Project for her brother's winery, which was a significant upgrade from his original website: Original Site

Brian Rippeto

Brian was a home builder and was realizing how damaging the physical labor was on his co-workers and was looking for another direction in his career. He took the Web Design for Beginners (HTML/CSS) course to start his journey and was then accepted into Turing School of Software and Design in Denver. He is now working for Loopist as a Software Engineer.

This example was his first Web Project showcasing some of the previous skills he had in the home building industry.

Daphna Kapnik

Daphna works in marketing and didn't want to become a web developer, but she runs her own swimming school and needed a website for it. Her rational was that she could pay someone $1500 (or more) to build and maintain it, or she could learn to build it herself and save a lot of money maintaining it herself.

Final Project: Little Kickers Swim School

This is the live website she continues to maintain: http://littlekickersco.com/

Although she never planned on becoming a web developer, she has used she skills to build other websites for others, like this one: http://patientadvocacymatters.com/

Erin Dubinski

Erin worked as a graphic designer and was disappointed with the fact that with all the graphic design education she had, she was never taught the skills to build web sites. This left her feeling very limited. She took the Web Design for Beginners (HTML/CSS) course in order to round out her professional skills.

In one night, she created a fun/fictional home page for a cupcake company for her Final Web Project.

Andrew Vandermeer

Andrew had been working as a crossfit trainer the last few years and really wanted a new challenge in coding. He took the HTML/CSS class as his first test and realized how much he enjoyed it. He used this class to help him get accepted into Galvanize's Web Developer Immerse program in Denver. After graduation, he has been employed as a Web Developer with BrieBug Software Solutions.

Andrew created this project as a one-week experiment with his new web design skills: Weekly Experiment
