Grab your seat for Next-Level Web Design
Hey everyone.
It’s live! I’m excited to share that enrollment for Next-Level Web Design is officially open. I’ve partnered with Maven to make this course available to even more people and am excited to kick things off at the beginning of August.
(I’ve made a slight adjustment to the name — this is not an intro course — you will learn everything you need to know to start designing your own websites, just like the pros.)
