Web development course

Build websites and web apps people actually use

Web development is still one of the most reliable ways into a tech career or freelance income. Learn to build fast, accessible websites and full-stack applications, and learn the modern way: with an AI coding assistant beside you and a developer checking that you understand every line.

Learning to code in the age of AI coding assistants

AI tools can now write a lot of code. That has not made developers unnecessary; it has changed what a good developer does. The valuable skills are understanding how the web works, breaking a product into parts, reading and reviewing code critically, debugging, and making sound decisions about structure and security. People who skip the fundamentals and copy AI output get stuck the moment something breaks.

This course teaches fundamentals first, then shows you how professionals use AI assistants to move faster without losing understanding. You will write code yourself, explain it back to your tutor, and use AI as a reviewer and pair-programmer rather than a crutch.

Web development questions

Do I need a computer science background?

No. We start from zero for beginners. Students who already know some code skip ahead after the free skills check.

How long until I can build a real website?

Most beginners publish a simple personal site within the first few weeks. A full-stack app takes several months of steady practice.

Will AI replace web developers?

AI is changing the job, not removing the need for people who understand how software works. Developers who use AI well are more productive and in demand. We teach both the fundamentals and the AI workflow.

Can I freelance after this course?

Many students take small website projects while learning. See our freelancing course for finding clients and pricing.
