I started my own web design business in 2008. I floundered around for months trying to figure out how to build sites effectively. And it was years before I cracked the code to getting clients and running a successful business.

Now, I can do it all in my sleep. In fact, I have been teaching web designers how to build their own profitable businesses for the last 10 years. In 2003 I started with a training course on Macromedia’s Dreamweaver program. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Over the last 10 years, a hand-picked team of experts and I have taught over 31,140 students. We’ve helped freelancers, students, local businesses, and even design teams for the big dogs like Apple, Blockbuster, AT&T, Hewlett-Packard, Merrill Lynch, Nordstrom, Dallas Cowboys, Sony, Procter & Gamble, ESPN, and Sprint (just to name a few).

When I developed this training system I had one primary objective: Help beginning web designers start making money as fast as possible. Over the next 6 weeks I will personally coach 50 students on how to build a successful web design business. – Conrad Feagin

One-on-One Coaching

Three personal coaching calls with Pramod kumar to help you reach your income goals.

Unique, one-of-a-kind training

ive classroom training provides one of the best experiences for learning. You get to interact with the instructor as well as your peers, and there are very few distractions. The downside is the cost (as much as $500/day) and the inability to learn at your own pace. Conversely, online courses are cost-effective and allow you to learn at your own pace, but often lack the support you will need. For 10 years we have been perfecting our training system so you get the benefits of classroom training, and self-paced online training, all at an affordable price.

Step-by-Step Courses

Combined written and video course training provides fast learning and quick reference.

Personal one-on-one coaching with Pramod kumar

Hiring a coach has been the best investment I have ever made in my business. There is no substitute for having someone who has “been there and done that.” There are so many decisions to make in your business, and if you make the wrong decision it can set you back for years. You need someone who will guide you and keep you on the right track.

You will have three personal one-on-one coaching sessions with me. In session 1 we will review your income goals, discuss your biggest challenges and then create an action plan. In sessions 2 and 3 we will review your action plan, track the results and make adjustments to meet your income goals. This is my favorite part of our training system. It is not uncommon to find hidden opportunities that produce big results for my students.

The Most Unusual Guarantee

I am a results-driven business owner. I am constantly analyzing the ROI (Return On Investment) of everything in my business. I expect the same from you. You should be carefully evaluating your investment of money and time.

When I developed this training system I had one primary objective: Help beginning web designers start making money as fast as possible. That is why I have designed the courses to contain no fluff and no “technical potholes” where you will get stuck learning advanced CSS or something else that is not relevant in the early stages of your business.

Because I know my training system works, having been tested on thousands of students, I can offer an unusual guarantee. If you follow the training system and don’t get your first paying client in the first three months, I will give you a complete refund on your investment. Why would I do that? Simple. If I have the opportunity to personally coach you, I know your chance of success is very high. And on the slim chance that you don’t succeed, I will happily pay back your investment here today.

There’s one condition: To qualify for this guarantee – and to make sure you’re on track – you must complete each week’s training and be able to report your actions and results to me personally. This means that you must physically implement my advice and use the Web Design Business Bootcamp training system. Easy enough?
