Launching my first product
The story behind my course
After 4 months of taking a break from Substack, I come to you with a special announcement.
I’m launching my first online course. But before I explain what it’s all about, I want to write about the first course I ever took. It happened 13 years ago…
The year is 2010 and I'm a 16-year-old high-school student in Tajikistan. My brother had recently gifted me a laptop, and after playing way too much FIFA, I decided it was time to do more useful things.
I thought ‘Maybe I should take a course’.
My brother is lifelong learner so he had bought himself a bunch of CDs with different courses. One of them was a web development course by a Russian developer Evgeniy Popov.
I barely knew how to type, but I decided to give it a try.
What followed was an intense month of building websites with good-old HTML, CSS & Joomla CMS. The instructor took us step-by-step through the process of building 4 websites of increasing complexity and explained all the concepts along the way.
That course made me fall in love with building and creating websites. I would spend nights and weekends trying to replicate popular Russian and Tajik websites & trying to take on paid work.
But then another lifelong dream came true - I got a scholarship to study in the United States. I switched my focus to get the most out of that experience and slowly lost touch with coding.
Several months ago, I came across Framer - a web-development platform that makes it possible to create powerful web experiences without writing a single-line of code.
Building with Framer was intuitive, creative, and fun. I would spend weeks building powerful websites without having to dig into complexities of code. Framer made me fall in love with building again.
I kept digging deeper into the platform and learned everything by doing and watching countless YouTube videos. Along the way, I wished there was a course that walked me through everything... step by step like my first course 13 years ago.
So I decided to do it myself. I compiled everything into a this Framer: Beginner to Pro course. This course teaches you everything you need to know about building powerful websites with no-code. You will able to create stunning websites in several hours rather than spend weeks on end.
Using this knowledge you can build powerful websites for your own personal projects, take on freelance client work, or build website templates to sell online.
And this course is practical. We will learn everything by doing.
If you are excited to start building, then join me in the course. The first 50 people will get the course for $49 (84% off). You can sign up here —> Framer: Beginner to Pro
Let's get building.
