🆓 Through Jan 25 - Unlocked and FREE 👀

My LinkedIn Learning course “Intro to Web Design and Development” is unlocked and FREE to view through January 25. Almost 35,000 people have viewed the course, and over 1300 people have rated it 4.7/5 stars.

While this is too basic for many of this newsletter’s readers, you work with people who need this course — project managers, graphic designers, copy writers and editors, managers, and more. Give the link to those you mentor, to the classes you teach, and share the link on social media.

The course gives a 30,000 foot view of the web, from defining terms like client and server, to planning websites, to writing a little HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and ending with a quick overview of some no-code tools that may be used for building sites and apps.

I’m starting a new part-time contract job on Monday, building Webflow websites for an agency specializing in science communications. It’s so cool to bring back my biology background and help scientists tell stories.

Why Webflow? Because it offers flexibility in design, while offering scientists the ability to edit their sites without code. Looking forward to learning a ton!
