Three Paths, One Goal: Building Sites That Work

Whether you're starting fresh or bringing experience from another field, we meet you where you are. Our approach recognizes that everyone learns differently and comes with different backgrounds.

Foundation Track

Starting from scratch? This path covers HTML, CSS, and responsive principles from the ground up. We spend extra time on the fundamentals because they matter more than fancy frameworks.

Career Shifters

Already working in design, marketing, or project management? We'll help you add technical skills to what you already know. Many of our students come from non-coding backgrounds.

Skill Upgraders

Know some basics but want to go deeper? This track focuses on modern responsive techniques, performance, and the kind of problem-solving that employers actually need.

How Our Learning Structure Actually Works

We don't believe in cramming everything into a few weeks and calling it done. Real skill development takes time and practice. Here's what our autumn 2025 cohort will experience over six months.

1

First Two Months: Building Your Foundation

We start with HTML and CSS, but not the way most courses do. You'll build actual page layouts from day one. Every week includes projects based on real client briefs we've worked on. This isn't theory—it's the stuff that shows up in actual jobs.

2

Months Three and Four: Responsive Techniques That Matter

This is where things get interesting. You'll learn mobile-first design, flexible grids, and media queries. But more importantly, you'll learn when to use each technique and why. We cover cashpro integration patterns and financial service layouts that need extra attention to detail.

3

Month Five: Advanced Performance and Accessibility

Most courses skip this part. We don't. You'll learn how to make sites load fast on slow connections and work for users with disabilities. These skills separate okay developers from ones who get hired.

4

Final Month: Portfolio Development

The last four weeks focus on building portfolio pieces that show what you can do. We help you pick projects that demonstrate the skills employers care about most. You'll also practice explaining your design decisions—something interviews always test.

Why We Focus on Financial Service Layouts

Financial services websites have specific requirements that push your skills in useful directions. They need to work flawlessly on mobile devices, handle sensitive information carefully, and maintain user trust through design choices.

Our curriculum includes cashpro system integration patterns because these skills transfer to other complex applications. When you can build a responsive interface for financial data, you can build almost anything.

  • Mobile-first design for banking interfaces
  • Form validation patterns that actually work
  • Responsive tables and data visualization
  • Security-focused layout considerations
  • Cross-browser compatibility testing methods

Real Student Progress: Petra's Experience

One of our 2024 graduates agreed to share her learning journey. Her story shows what's actually possible when you commit to developing these skills properly.

Petra Maier

2024 Program Graduate

Where She Started

Petra came to us after eight years in graphic design. She could create beautiful layouts in design software but didn't know how to build them for the web. She'd tried a few online tutorials but kept getting stuck on responsive design concepts.

The Turning Point

Around month three, something clicked. She was working on a project that required building a data table that worked on phones. After struggling for two days, she finally got it working. That's when responsive design stopped being a set of rules and became something she understood intuitively.

Where She Is Now

Petra works as a junior front-end developer at a marketing agency in Munich. She builds client websites and helps their design team understand what's possible in code. She still emails us questions sometimes, which we encourage. Learning doesn't stop when the program ends.

What You'll Actually Learn

Here's a detailed breakdown of our autumn 2025 curriculum. We update this regularly based on what's actually needed in current job markets.

Core Responsive Fundamentals

The basics, done right. We cover these topics in depth because they're the foundation everything else builds on.

  • Semantic HTML structure and accessibility
  • CSS Grid and Flexbox layout systems
  • Mobile-first design methodology
  • Media queries and breakpoint strategy
  • Responsive image techniques

Advanced Layout Techniques

Once you've got the basics down, we move into more complex scenarios that show up in real projects.

  • Complex navigation patterns for mobile
  • Form design for multiple devices
  • Responsive typography systems
  • CSS custom properties for theming
  • Component-based design thinking

Performance and Optimization

Making sites that work well, not just look good. This module separates hobbyists from professionals.

  • CSS performance best practices
  • Image optimization strategies
  • Loading performance techniques
  • Browser testing workflows
  • Debugging responsive layouts

Professional Development Skills

Technical skills matter, but so does knowing how to work with clients and teams. We cover both.

  • Version control with Git basics
  • Project documentation practices
  • Client communication strategies
  • Portfolio presentation techniques
  • Continuing education planning
