You’re curious about web design but “coding” feels like a four-letter word.
Learn In-Demand (Low-Code) WordPress Building Skills in Just 8 Weeks.
I see you there.
Standing at the edge of the web design deep-end…toes gripped to the ledge because you’re terrified you don’t have the skills to keep your head above water if you jump in.
You’ve been working in the digital space in other ways, and might even do some WordPress admin work. You love design. You’re tech-savvy. But lack of web design background is keeping you stuck (and underpaid).
Maybe you…
Don’t know how to code, fear it, and think that its an absolute must.
Get nervous about the difference between hosting, domains, and platforms
Have never run a web design project and don’t know where to begin
Feel paralyzed figuring out project timelines and pricing
The truth?
There’s an ENTIRE ocean of information to learn, approaches you could take, and painful lessons you could learn over years and years on your own.
I know because it took me 4 years and full-blown corporate burnout between taking my first WordPress web course and finding the bravery to go full in on my web design services.
While I learned a lot about code and WordPress in that course, I was terrified to start full website projects from scratch. I didn’t feel like my baby coder skills could pull off a REAL website build.
But then I found the Divi builder, dedicated myself to learning the ins and outs, and started designing beautiful professional-level websites without using those coding skills at all on my first projects.
Combined with my decade of experience in content creation and project management, I quickly built processes and projects into a web design career (though some cover your butt lessons I had to learn the hard way).
When I finally dove fully into web design, I increased my business net profit 57% over the generalized digital marketing I had done the year prior — without increasing my workload.
Bottom line… nobody becomes an Olympic swimmer overnight. First you float, then you doggie paddle, then you make your way to the fancy stuff… but you’ve got to get into the pool to start!

FAQs
I am totally new to Divi. Is this course for me?
Yes! We will cover all the basics of setting up a Divi-based WordPress site from scratch. I’m talkin’ starting from purchasing a domain, hosting, and doing the install.
I structure the course around building your first Divi web project so that you learn Divi in a tangible, real way. I drip course content in digestible steps to reduce overwhelm and help you know what you should accomplish when. Our online community is there to ask questions and help guide you through your first Divi web project.
Are there other costs associated with getting started?
As with most businesses, there are some tools of the trade to invest in. You will need to purchase a Divi license, which is a one-time lifetime fee of $249. You will also need a domain and web hosting, which costs on average around $100/year for the first year.
What if I can’t attend the Q&A sessions live?
No worries! The live Q&A sessions will be recorded and replays will be available in Facebook and the course platform.
I've never been in WordPress. Can I take this course?
The Dive into Divi course does not cover the basics of WordPress functionality. If you’re unfamiliar with the basics of how WordPress works and need to understand the basics, there may be a steeper learning curve if you choose to join the Dive into Divi Web Builder Bootcamp.
I’ve never managed a website project. Can I do this?
I will provide you a detailed overview of how I have successfully run website projects with dozens of clients.
You’re also receiving a Trello board template to use with clients, project timeline tool, and other checklists and swipes to make the process as turnkey as possible for you to get started — without having years of experience as a project manager.
How long will it take to learn Divi?
This will vary from case-to-case. The point of the live bootcamp is for you to have a fully built and live website project at the end of 8 weeks. This is achievable!
Each course module includes about one hour of lessons. You should expect to spend 2-3 hours a week gathering content and implementing what you’ve learned to get your site built.
What if I decide that the Dive into Divi Bootcamp isn’t for me?
If you get started and realize that the course is not the right fit for you, I offer a 14-day money back guarantee if you show your work and are willing to answer a few questions.
I really don’t need to know how to code to get started?
No, you really don’t. Understanding and applying code can be incredibly helpful when you decide to become a web designer. But it is NOT absolutely necessary to dip your toes into the big, beautiful pool of web design and start serving clients.
You won’t need to know code to take this course or get your first web projects using Divi built and launched!
