Meet Your Instructor

Hi! I’m Timothy — your instructor and the creator of this website.

For over a decade, I worked as an audio engineer, recording projects for artists like Kid Cudi and members of Primus, Tom Waits, Santana and others. Along the way, I taught myself how to build websites, starting with the studio’s site, then building and managing websites for the clients. Over the years I’ve built and managed over 100 websites some of which have generated over $1 million in sales and helped secure $300k in investor funding.

 

I created this course to share the knowledge I’ve gained through years of trial and error—countless hours spent Googling, watching YouTube tutorials, and digging through forums. I want to save you from that frustration! This course is designed to be approachable, well organized, and practical. You’ll learn how to build a fully functional website from scratch without needing to write code!
