Which JavaScript framework does the track use?

HTML, CSS, and plain JavaScript come first, then React as the UI layer, then Next.js because that is how a lot of teams ship real sites. WordPress stays in the mix as the CMS half the internet still touches, so you see both a modern React path and a common content-site path.

Will I be able to get a job after completing this track?

You leave with fundamentals you can build on and a project you can deploy. That is a real starting line. What happens next is interviews, continued practice, and how you present the work. We do not promise placements.

How is this track different from free tutorials online?

Tutorials often stop at a snippet. Here you carry one project from empty folder to something shippable, with mentors commenting on your real code and weeks shaped like actual team work. The difference is feedback you cannot mute.

What this track is

About this track

You start with structure, styling, and behaviour on the open web, then move into responsive layouts, components in React, and how Next.js packages that for production sites. WordPress appears because many marketing teams still live there next to custom code. By the end you have a live URL, not just exercises on disk. Expect to type a lot and to keep practising between mentor sessions.

Who this track is for

Complete beginners to web development

People who want to understand how websites work and be able to build them from scratch.

People with basic HTML/CSS who want to go further

Self-taught learners who have covered the basics but want structure, JavaScript, and a framework.

Designers who want to understand front-end code

UI/UX designers who want to read, understand, and contribute to frontend code alongside developers.

Stack

Tools & technologies we use

The same categories of tools you will see in junior frontend roles, tied to what you ship each week.

Visual Studio Code

Extensions, integrated terminal, and debugging, the editor most frontend workflows standardise on.

Git

Branches, commits, and pull requests so your progress is reviewable and shareable.

GitHub

Branches, commits, and pull requests so your progress is reviewable and shareable.

HTML

Semantic structure, accessible patterns, forms, and documents that mean something to browsers and users.

CSS

Flexbox, Grid, responsive rules, and typography so layouts behave on real devices.

JavaScript

DOM, events, and fetching data, the layer that turns documents into interactive applications.

Browser DevTools

Inspect layout, watch the network, and step through scripts until behaviour matches intent.

React

Components, props, state, and routing, the baseline for interactive UIs in modern teams.

Next.js

App Router, layouts, and server/client boundaries, the production React framework used for most new marketing sites and web apps.

WordPress

Block editor, themes, and plugins, the CMS baseline for countless content and marketing sites, often next to custom code.

Vercel or Netlify

HTTPS, previews, and production deploys for static, React, and Next.js projects.

Core tooling is free-tier friendly. You can complete the track without buying paid licences; optional upgrades are your choice.

Format

How the learning works

Not self-paced video content. A structured programme with real outputs and structured feedback.

Build from day one

Each module ends with a deliverable, not a quiz. You practise by making things, not memorising definitions.

Structured progression

HTML → CSS → JavaScript → React and Next.js, then WordPress and deployment, each step assumes the previous one.

Portfolio output

You finish with a deployed project you own, something you can share with employers and continue building after the track.

Outcomes

What this prepares you for

Realistic, honest expectations. The track gives you foundation and practice. What you do with it determines what comes next.

A deployed web project you built during the track
Confidence with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Next.js fundamentals, and WordPress as a common CMS path
Understanding of responsive design and how the web actually works
Foundation for junior frontend developer and web developer roles

FAQ

Web Development: common questions

Track-specific answers: prior knowledge needed, what you build, tools used, and how to get started.

Still have a question not covered here?

Start a conversation

Yes, it starts from scratch. The honest bit is practice: learners who put in time between sessions move much faster than people who only show up for the live blocks.
