About Course

Hi! I’m Tim, your instructor.

 

To give you a brief background: I spent over a decade working as an audio engineer, recording for members of Kid Cudi, Primus, Tom Waits, Guns N’ Roses, Santana, and more. During that time, I also learned to build our company websites. We eventually began offering web design services to our musician clients. Over the years, I’ve built or managed over 100 websites, some generating over $1 million in revenue and others were used to secure more than $300,000 in investor funding.

 

I created this course to share the knowledge I’ve gained from years of endless searching, learning, and trial and error. I’ve suffered = so you don’t have to!

 

This course is designed to be easy to understand and well-organized, covering everything you need to build a beautiful and functional website without needing to learn complex coding. (Though I do include a fun and simple introduction to coding basics.) You’ll learn about server setup, security, functionality, and design.

 

I’m excited to have you in the course and can’t wait to see what you create!
