Almost 40 years ago, I was giving myself coding projects on the Commodore 64.
20 years ago, I taught myself to build websites and started gaining clients.
15 years ago, I began using CMS platforms so businesses could manage their own sites.
And 5 years ago, I released my first course — right around the time I stepped into agency life alongside my freelance work.
Why does that matter to you? Because it shows that web design is a journey - not a fixed skill you “master once,” but an evolving craft. The tools change, the platforms shift, and now with AI shaking the industry, we’re in a brand-new chapter.
But here’s the truth:
That’s why Learn Web Design & Business exists.
Removing my courses from other platforms, I've just started to host them here, in this space.
Check out my most recent course: Build Your First Business Website with Breakdance
This is your space to:
Learn practical web design skills with modern tools like WordPress and Breakdance
Understand the business side — pricing, clients, marketing, and scaling
Adapt to AI and the future of digital work without fear, but with confidence
Build not just websites… but a career, a business, and a life that works for you
Heads up: Even since creating the above course, the tools and focus on web dev strategies have changed. The course is still a great place to start, so you can get used to some of the basics, but if you really want to get deeper into true and latest web dev, I'll be starting a Circle community with new and fresh learning opportunities.
I’ve walked the long road of coding, freelancing, agency work, and course creation.
My job here isn’t just to share what I’ve learned — it’s to equip you to earn more, live more, and achieve more through web design.
The digital space isn’t slowing down. Every day is a school day. The question is:
Will you take the opportunity?
Welcome aboard. Let’s get started.
Really helpful and built my website very quickly. Great care taken to ensure I am happy with how to take control, which for this tech ludite was a miracle! 😉
Incredible person and developer. I use Chris as a freelancer as his knowledge of WordPress and WooCommerce is unrivalled. He is kind, supportive and exceptionally helpful. I hope to continue working together in the future
Chris has helped me get my business started with a fantastic website he has helped me step by step with understanding the website and he has always made time for any questions I've had
I had a few quotes on prices and Chris gave me the best price easily!
A new set of core skills that can turn your life around.
It's time for a change.
