Building Web Skills That Actually Work in Real Projects
We teach responsive web design through hands-on projects, not textbook theory. Learn how to build sites that work across every screen size while solving actual design challenges developers face daily.

How We Approach Teaching Web Design
Most courses dump information and hope it sticks. We start with broken layouts and walk you through fixing them. Every technique you learn comes from real problems we've encountered while building commercial websites.
Problem-First Learning
You'll see a navigation that breaks on mobile, then learn three ways to fix it. Compare the solutions, understand trade-offs, and choose what works for your situation. No memorizing syntax without context.
Device Testing Sessions
We test your layouts on actual phones, tablets, and monitors. You'll discover why your perfect desktop design looks terrible on a 375px screen, then fix it with proper breakpoints and flexible units.
Code Review Practice
Submit your work and get feedback on what makes CSS maintainable versus messy. Learn to spot issues like specificity battles, unnecessary media queries, and performance bottlenecks before they become problems.
Real Progress Looks Different for Everyone
Starting Point
Most people come to us with basic HTML knowledge but struggle when layouts need to work on different screens. They've built a few pages that look okay on their laptop, but everything falls apart on mobile.
The Middle Part Nobody Talks About
Around week four, things get harder. You'll write media queries that don't work. Your flexbox containers will behave unexpectedly. This is normal. We show you how to debug these issues systematically instead of guessing.
Where Students End Up
After completing the program, students can build responsive layouts confidently and fix broken designs without panicking. Some go on to build client sites, others join development teams. The common thread is they understand how responsive design actually works.
What You'll Actually Build
Mobile Navigation Systems
Build three different navigation patterns that work on small screens. Learn when to use hamburger menus versus priority navigation versus bottom tabs.
Flexible Grid Layouts
Create layouts that reorganize themselves based on screen width. Master CSS Grid and Flexbox by building card systems, article layouts, and dashboard interfaces that adapt naturally.
Form Optimization
Design forms that work on touch screens without frustrating users. Handle input sizing, button placement, and error messaging for mobile contexts.
Performance Techniques
Learn to optimize images for different screen densities and implement lazy loading. Understand when complexity hurts performance and how to simplify without sacrificing design.
What Recent Students Say
I'd been building websites for a year but never understood why my layouts broke on different devices. The testing sessions showed me exactly what I was doing wrong. Now I check responsive behavior before writing any CSS.
Completed program in autumn 2024
The problem-first approach made everything click. Instead of memorizing properties, I learned to think through layout challenges systematically. That skill transferred to projects the course never covered.
