Build Your Career in Responsive Web Design

Our program started in 2022 with eight students and a simple goal: teach people how to create websites that actually work across all devices. Since then, 47 graduates have moved into junior and mid-level positions at agencies and studios across Europe.

Learn from Felix Brenner

Lead Instructor & Program Director

I've been building responsive sites since 2014, back when we were still figuring out how to handle retina displays properly. Worked at three different agencies before starting this program. My approach is pretty hands-on—lots of code reviews, real debugging sessions, and honest feedback about what works in actual production environments.

What You'll Actually Learn

01

Foundation Skills (Months 1-3)

HTML semantics, CSS fundamentals, and mobile-first thinking. We start with basic layouts and progressively add complexity. By month three, you're building multi-page sites that adapt to different screen sizes without breaking.

02

Responsive Techniques (Months 4-6)

Flexbox, CSS Grid, and media queries—the tools you'll use every single day. We work through real layout challenges: navigation menus that collapse properly, image galleries that reflow, forms that don't frustrate mobile users. This is where things click for most students.

03

Performance and Optimization (Months 7-9)

Fast sites aren't optional anymore. You'll learn image optimization, lazy loading, CSS efficiency, and how to test across actual devices. We cover the metrics that matter and how to improve them without guessing.

04

Client Projects (Months 10-12)

Real work for real clients. Small businesses and nonprofits who need responsive sites built properly. You handle requirements, design implementation, testing, and delivery. This is your portfolio material and your first taste of professional deadlines.

What Previous Students Say

We asked graduates from our 2024 cohorts to share their honest experiences. Here's what came back.

Junior Developer at Alpenweb

I came from graphic design with zero coding background. The program moved fast but Felix made sure nobody got left behind. Three months after finishing, I landed my first developer role. Still reference my course notes weekly.

Freelance Web Developer

The client projects were nerve-wracking but incredibly valuable. You learn how to handle feedback, meet deadlines, and debug under pressure. I've built on those four projects to get eight freelance contracts since graduating in March.
