🧠 What You’ll Learn
Everything you need to go from zero to portfolio-ready
No filler, no theory overload — just the skills that get you hired or booked as a freelancer:
Visual Design Principles that make layouts feel intentional, not accidental
Figma for Wireframes & UI Design — from rough sketches to polished prototypes
HTML & CSS — the essentials, taught clearly, without the fluff
Responsive Layouts & Accessibility — so your work holds up on every device
Building with Webflow — professional no-code development from design to deployment
Real Portfolio Projects — because employers want to see work, not certificates
Whether you’re starting from scratch or filling gaps in your existing skills, the curriculum meets you where you are.
⭐ Web Design Foundations
Level: Beginner
Format: Self-paced + Live Sessions
The fundamentals of design, layout, and code — built for people who’ve never touched either. You’ll finish with a working understanding of how websites are actually made and the confidence to keep going.
💡 UI/UX in Figma
Level: Intermediate
Format: Project-Based
Interface design, user flows, component libraries, and wireframing — taught through a real project you’ll put in your portfolio. By the end, you’ll have a case study you can show in interviews.
⚙️ Build & Launch with Webflow
Level: Advanced
Format: Cohort-Based
Design-to-deployment training for freelancers and solo creators who want to ship real work. You don’t just learn Webflow — you launch your own site before the cohort ends.

👨🏫 About Marcus
Hi, I’m Marcus Whitaker — web designer, educator, and your mentor throughout this journey.
I’ve spent over a decade working in design and development — building sites, solving real client problems, and figuring out what actually separates designers who get hired from those who stay stuck in tutorial loops.
I created WhitakerWeb because I kept seeing the same pattern: talented people who understood design concepts but had no idea how to apply them to real work, build a portfolio, or land their first client. This curriculum fixes that.
Many of you may know me from my work with the WordPress To Wix Migration Studio – WordPressToWix.PRO. I spent over two years collaborating with their team and helped more than 70 clients migrate their WordPress websites to Wix. But now it’s time to take this work independently — this is exactly why I created this project.

Start Building Before You're "Ready"
One of the most common mistakes new designers make: waiting until they know everything before touching a real project.
The truth is, the fastest way to learn web design is to build something — even before you’ve mastered Figma or written your first line of CSS.
That’s why I recommend uKit to students who are just starting out or who need to launch a client’s site quickly while still developing their technical skills.
uKit is a no-code website builder that lets you create a clean, functional, mobile-ready website in under an hour — without touching code. Think of it as your training ground: a place to develop your eye for layout, spacing, and visual hierarchy while you work through the curriculum.
Why it works for WhitakerWeb students:
- You can apply design principles from the course immediately — pick a template, adjust colors, tweak spacing, and see the results live
- Clients with small budgets often need a site now, not in three months — uKit lets you deliver something professional while you’re still learning Webflow
- It’s a low-stakes environment to experiment with UI decisions before you commit them to code
Once you’ve built your first uKit site, the concepts in the HTML/CSS and Webflow courses will click faster — because you’ll already have a feel for how layouts and components behave.
