Renting Domain Names!

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013

Hi,

Let’s start with the conclusion: don’t ever consider renting a domain name from someone! This has got to be one of the stupidest (and nearly criminal) business ideas ever hatched on the Web.

What’s this about renting domain names?

I was almost floored recently when I got an email with the offer to rent a domain name from someone … like renting a commercial location in a mall, I suppose is the idea. The problem is, that despite what these scummy domain speculators would have you believe, the value of a domain is practically 100% in the work you do to BUILD up the value of a domain – there is very little value in the domain name itself.

What exactly are scummy domain name speculators?

web design training questions

I get email all the time from people wanting to know how to this or how to do that … or even just where to begin in the web design or web programming world. For example:

I am new. Know nada. I can navigate on the web etc. I need to learn how to run a simple HTML web page . I also live word press sites!!!!

I would love to learn more, am I stuck using Dreamweaver ? I am waiting for someone to give me lessons , in the meantime I am trying to learn what I can. Suggestions ? Thanks!

Nancy

My answer:

New and nada …. that’s my specialty!

I can suggest a few options … first, my Complete Web Designer package that teaches you everything you need to know to be a professional web designer – from scratch:

http://www.killervideostore.com/video-courses/complete-web-designer.php

Or, if you don’t mind streaming video, my premium video library subscription (which has all our courses) is probably our best deal:

http://library.killersites.com/

Finally, if you need hosting any time soon, then this would be our MORE best deal for you:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Web Design Training Tools for Teachers

Monday, May 13th, 2013

web-tutor

Hi,

We’ve been working hard and we’ve just released a new training video system designed to help teachers teach web design and web programming.

I think our press release summarizes it well:

KillerSites is proud to announce the release of the Web Tutor.

Developed by experienced web educators, the Web Tutor is an interactive video training system that teaches HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript. The Web Tutor includes quizzing (multiple choice and coding challenges), classrooms, student scoring/tracking and verifiable certification.

There’s a lot more to it than what you see in the press release, for example, check out our

Complete Web Design Training … for only $20!

Sunday, May 5th, 2013

boxshot-completewebdesigner

Hi,

I will start with the main point:

You can now get the Complete Web Designer for only $20 (instead of the normal price of $100) through our special deal.

Read below to learn about the details …

Probably my most popular training package is the Compete Web Designer, because it takes you from knowing nothing about web design, to having commercial web designer skills. Some nerd details:

The Complete Web Designer offers you over 29 hours of training that easily guides you from total beginner to becoming a productive web designer. You will learn:

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • Dreamweaver CS6
  • Photoshop for the Web
  • HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery

… And more!

Every student of web design needs to get a hosting account at some point.

Being able to properly use a hosting account is part of the process of learning web design and besides, you will probably need a website at some point too. With that in mind, we’ve partnered with a popular hosting company where you can now buy the $100 Complete Web Designer package for only $20 when you get a 1 year hosting package … this will cost you $3.15/month, or the cost of one coffee per month!

It’s is by far the best deal we’ve offered or seen anywhere. If you were ever planning on learning web design, this is your chance to do it for practically nothing.

How I Teach Web Design

Wednesday, April 24th, 2013

lightbulb

Hi,

I had a conversation recently on how to best teach web design and programming, and I thought the main points of the conversation might make a good blog post … so here we go!

Stef’ Web Design Teaching Strategy

There is a lot that goes into creating an effective web design or web programming training course, but I can reduce it to these three main principles:

  1. Break things up into manageable chunks.
  2. Avoid tech/nerd terms as much as possible.
  3. Filter what you teach – don’t try to show everything at once.

My teaching style is based on my ten + years of teaching web design and programming but it is also based on my training in psychology and believe it or not, about 30 yrs of martial arts training – I use teaching principles and techniques I picked up from many styles of martial arts, from my many martial art teachers, and from a couple of broken noses!

… You learn a lot when you get your nose broke, it’s true!

The good thing though, is that I can guarantee that in my web design and web programming training courses, you will not get your nose broken. But you will still learn how to be a professional web designer and web programmer if you want to.

A Million more Computer Jobs than Students by 2020

Wednesday, March 6th, 2013

lightbulb

The trend is your friend if you are into web design or web programming … going forward, there will be a lot more jobs than web professionals.

This trend means two things for web designers and programmers:

  1. There will be more new jobs created, than new web professionals with each passing year.
  2. Those who are smart enough to become web designers and web programmers, will see their pay go up as demand goes up.

 Why is the demand increasing so much?
