How to become a freelance web developer

Yes … a new lifestyle.

After struggling to be a full-time musician on the road, John got a cushy job working for a well-known nonprofit. Just one month in the cubicle, he knew he couldn’t last the year.

Kelly wanted a business that would make her multiple six-figures, give her freedom of time, all while raising 3 kids from home.

Countless happy clients and millions of dollars earned by our businesses, we’re living the life we dreamed of…

…and we’ll teach you how we did it.

We know the way.

We’ve created a proven path to get you the freedom lifestyle of your dreams so you can spend more time doing the things you love with the people you love.

The secret is knowing the tried and true tools, platforms, and systems that make it possible and shave years off the process.

Don’t get lost in the sea of youtube rabbit holes. There’s a lot of bad info and fake experts out there.

All you need. 

You don’t need to go back to school – or even know how to code – to build websites and be a successful freelance web designer.

We teach everything you actually need to know. And nothing you don’t.

We’ve made all the mistakes and know the pitfalls to watch out for. We’ll share the most effective method for designing websites and building a freelance business.

"I used to wake up at 4:45 AM and commute an hour (each way) to a desk job I hated. Now, I am working as a web designer full-time. It still feels surreal this is my new life. Because of Break Into Web, I now have an amazing career. My lifestyle has greatly improved. I really love my life! If you're thinking about joining Break Into Web, DO IT! You won't regret it." 😁

"This course ultimately allowed me to get the lifestyle I deeply wanted. I took the course while working a fulltime job. Break Into Web gave me the skills I needed to eventually quit that job, work as a web designer, and make my own schedule. I now have the flexibility and freedom I wanted in my life. I have Break Into Web to thank for that."

"Such a fantastic course! I can’t say enough good things about Kelly & John. The courses includes anything you could ever want to know about creating websites from start to finish ... and they are continually adding to it.

"As an agency owner, Break Into Web has been an excellent and invaluable resource for our interns and employees to work through. While there are tons of courses out there, this is the only one we've found that effectively explains the web design/development process to give them the necessary tools and steps they need to step into a successful career as a web designer and/or developer. "

- Nathan

Tyler

"There is A LOT of info out on the web when it comes to web design and this course does a great job of putting everything you need in one place. The Facebook group and access to John and Kelly for questions is worth the price of admission in and of itself. Both are great teachers and very responsive to questions. The course is solid and they continue to add new content. Highly recommend!"

"I Broke into web." - Jake
