“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.”
– Kyle
“Such a fantastic course! I can’t say enough good things about Kelly & John.

This course (and Kelly and John!) helped me quit my 8-5 corporate job and go fulltime freelance!”
– Kelly
“My experience with Break into Web has been very positive so far. John & Kelly are very supportive and helpful. The program is well organized, and covers both the technical and business side of things. Highly recommended for people looking to reinvent themselves as freelance web designers.”

“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
“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!”
