Locked!

Thanks for the good wish.
I do agree with you that there should be more contents. Honestly speaking anyone who has real interest can find easily and practice the contents I put down here. What I understand and realise that for newbies (entering in any new skills) need supervision. A small clue/guide can increase their motivation.

I assume you also have hands with IT or you have had your own blog, and you are self taught to manage it. For anyone who has a little knowledge with website creation, writing contents in personal blog - will find the topic really easy.
Keep in mind that this course is for someone who do not have a clue to create a website. It's for beginners only however I can promise that after finishing this course they will feel that they can create and manage a complete website. I will have tools with drag and drop features for them to practice their designing skills.

Designs charging hundreds of dollars would have hundreds of differences than a design made with only CSS3 and HTML5.
Though these are the basics of it, but only with them, you cannot really give a tough competition to anyone in the world right now. I don't really want to criticize your service, but I personally think that you should add some more advance content to be taught to this. You might get some more interested people after doing that, because most of the people having interest in web development already know these basics.
Good luck, anyway.

Thank you, hope to enlighten the community who are open to learn new skills for personal development.

Sounds interesting. Best of luck!

Reserved for successful candidates.

I am one of the co-founder of Creative Designs UK (archive). Me with my other partners are running this business since early 2013 (Ref: whois lookup). We manage everything online even our staffs work for us remotely. We used to do this business very seriously before but from last one and half year we have built other businesses. So, in this business after paying the freelancers (staffs) when we keep some small profits in our pocket, we are more than happy.

A sort story behind this business: Back in 2008 after my graduation I started working in a local IT company as Software Developer (Web and Desktop application). Then I moved to England. At the beginning life in England was hard. For some extra money I used to design/develop websites for locally known people, friends and family while I was doing regular jobs (in Sainsbury's and other here and there. ref: LinkedIn Profile). Years after I had some regular customers, I thought to brand my website design and develop business. In 2013 with one of my friend I started Creative Designs UK.

The reason of the above introduction is to establish a trust in between you and me that I am very much qualified for the claim I am making on this service post. You will receive 100% in return of the trust and money (if paid) you will put to do business with me. It's the promise from a gentleman.

Lately I am thinking why not I share my knowledge and experiences of my IT skills to others in need (Giving back to the community). People pay thousands of dollars and tremendous affords and time to become an IT professional and here, after being a qualified IT professional with years of experience I am wasting it. Honestly speaking earning money by being a software developer or doing any other IT job is much harder than doing a business and being your own boss. However I also admit that not everyone is wearing my shoes. There are people who are designing a logo for $5 while I am writing this service post (sadly).

What you can do with continuous practice and after completing this course:
1. You can create/design a static website. (i.e: Blog for yourself or for anyone else)
2. You can work as a freelance website designer.
3. You can work in a IT company as a website designer. (ambitious case, search for website designer job and you will see the salary)
4. You can even start your own IT business¹ if you have an entrepreneurial skill like me. (ambitious case, you will hear the story of starting Creative Designs UK)

¹It's not that hard to make really good money once you know how to monetise your idea. Visit the pricing page of Creative designs UK, See the different options of website pricing. Truth is once you layout a website then creating one page and 100 pages are the same thing. Rest of the pages can easily be copy/pasted but see the pricing. Honestly speaking IT sector is one of the sector where the customers are still ignorant hence small works can give your big return.
²Monitoring excluded.
³Price will increase of-course for the next batch.
^{^} I am still working on the detail contents and will be putting all together in a sales page on my personal blog.
