17 years of experience to build the perfect training system
I started my own web design business in 1996. 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).
Only 7 spots remaining.
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
Unique, one-of-a-kind training
Live 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.

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

One-on-One Coaching
Two personal coaching calls with Conrad Feagin to help you reach your income goals.
Laser focused step-by-step courses
After designing hundreds of training courses, we have learned a thing or two about what works. These web design courses are structured so you will see results quickly. We have carefully designed the courses so you won’t get bogged down. You will notice that we have a six week timeline for the courses. You have two options when going through the training: You can go at your own pace, or follow the six week path and join our weekly live Q & A sessions.
Our courses are presented with a combination of written material, screenshots, and videos. The videos are short and specific, so it’s easy to refer back to them if you need a refresher. We’ve found that this is the most effective way to train, and it accommodates everyone’s learning style. Each course also includes a homework assignment, so you can be sure you’ve truly learned and understood what you need to be successful.

Here’s one student’s experience working with David, one of our development experts…
”I had posted my problem on the WordPress support forum and created a ticket regarding the same with my hosting provider. But the hosting provider did not notice the mistake I was making in the style.css file (although it had access to all my files). David did. And it saved another day from being wasted. Thank you so much, David.” – Ambika Poddar
Personal one-on-one coaching with Conrad Feagin
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 two 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 session 2 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 coaching call with Conrad] was great! I really appreciate him taking the time to talk with me about my plans to develop a web design business in Boise.
He had some great advice on what to do after I complete my project with my current client. One tip was to leverage the success of the project into testimonials and a case study. This will make for a great marketing piece to present to potential clients down the road. – Justin Beller
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?

Student Success Stories
After just starting the course I was asked to do a website for someone and I said, “Yes!” confidently. I also picked up 2 more projects before the course was even over.
The videos were easy to follow and gave me the information to get the sites up and running quickly. One of my clients was amazed at how fast we had his site up and running.
The training also allowed a personal call with Conrad Feagin, founder of LearnWebDevelopment.com. That he took the time to speak to me was very rewarding and inspirational. – Larry Hyde

It’s so great to be able to give advice to my clients with their marketing and see them benefit as a result. – Michelle Marin
Mark Borst made $3,500 from his first WordPress website! He’s currently working on another WordPress website. The proposal he has written is valued at $4,200.
This excellent WordPress course has already paid for itself many times over.
In our business, it is vital to keep your skills sharp. I’ve always wanted to learn more about WordPress, but just didn’t have the time. Thanks to LearnWebDevelopment, I was able to devote a set time each week towards working on my skills and seeing immediate results. I can’t thank the LWD staff enough, they were there every step of the way to help, and provided excellent easy to follow materials. I am extremely satisfied with my training, and I was able to immediately apply concepts I learned during the course. – Mark Borst
