The Premier WordPress program is back and better than ever

What if there was a way to completely overhaul your web design business so you can start booking higher-budget clients, and become the sought-after web designer in your industry?

Winning at WordPress is the first ever WordPress course of its kind that teaches you how to create stunning websites on the OG website platform with NO coding and NO experience required. 

This program is for web designers who are ready to remaster the skills + offer, get noticed by bigger companies with bigger budgets, and transform their design agency. 

WHAT IF...

What if WordPress web design could feel easy? What if it could feel (dare I say it…) fun?!

Wordpress isn’t the big, bad, scary wolf that other designers make it out to be (I’m looking at you Squarespace designers…). In fact, learning WordPress has completely transformed my life, and I want it to transform yours too.

Put on your creative glasses with me and imagine if…

– You got website inquires from your dream clients saying that your portfolio stuck out to them.

– You felt confident on sales calls because you know you are more skilled, and more equipped than other web designers.

– You could charge $12k for just one website.

– You had more opportunities and leads because you’re a specialist on more than one platform.

– You never had the awkward conversation of trying to get your client to switch over to Squarespace because that’s all you know.

I'm going to be straight up with you...

Wordpress has more capabilities than any other platform out there, which means it allows you to create anything you want for your clients. And you know what that means...?

You guessed it – You can charge wayyyy more. I’m talking $6K to $15K (or more) for one website.

After designing websites for 10 years, I’ve charged more for WordPress websites than any other platform.

For the web designer who is ready to build a badass skillset that makes them irreplaceable, so they can dominate their corner of the internet.

Do any of these sound like you...?

You’ve thought of learning WordPress but it seems to ‘scary’ or overwhelming
You want to make the switch to WP but you don’t know how to code (which you don’t have to btw)
You first learned Squarespace and now that’s the platform you’ve stuck with because learning another platform seems tiring or unnecessary 
You think you don’t have enough “time” to learn a new website platform
You’ve always wanted to start your own web design business, but you have zero web design experience

You’re doing your web design business a serious disservice if you box yourself into only using one platform

In fact, you’re making it pretty dang hard for yourself to create some serious growth for your web design agency. You can’t truly build a website design business you love and enjoy working in if you’re closing yourself off from opportunities and clients.

NEW: Monthly Live Q&A Group Calls where we talk about all things web design, running a business, scoping projects & more.

When you enroll in Winning at WordPress, not only do you get immediate access to the modules and done-for-you material, but you’ll also be invited to our live monthly calls! This is where you can chat with other students, ask any questions you need to get your business to the next level and get exclusive access to Alyssa.

What They’re Saying

The course is just amazing, no other way to describe it 🙌 There really isn't anything like this out there. I wanted to expand my business services and start offering website building, but considering I don't know how to code and don't want to be limited to WIX/Showit templates, I decided to give WordPress a go. However! Every time I tried to learn how to do someting or find answers online, it was incredibly hard to find good resources. Also, I was looking to learn from someone who's aesthetic fits with me and who is preferably NOT a design bro. Learning from Alyssa really gives me the confidence boost that there is space for women in web design and that I can master the "scary" stuff just fine! I'm so glad I decided to purchase the course. The structure is great, easy to follow and Alyssa is so chill in the way she explains everything and she's not hiding from things she doesn't know - which is very rare with online courses. I love her honesty! There's no gatekeeping and she's very encouraging throughout the course. So far I've successfully started building my own business website and even figured out how to do things on my own because of the course's foundation. I also started feeling more comfortable in the WP dashboard and builder, and feel way more in control of what I'm doing. So I would definitely say this course is worth it!! If you're doubting, trust me, go for it, it's the perfect way to start learning WordPress.

I'm an expert at Squarespace but I've wanted to re-learn WordPress after leaving it all the way back in 2014. I was pleasantly surprised to see that with Alyssa's recommendations, WordPress can be just as easy as Squarespace to design, but more importantly for clients to manage and update themselves. I've already had a call with a potential client that I would normally have to turn away since their current website is on WordPress and they don't want to change platforms or hosting companies. Thanks to Alyssa for making a course that's easy to digest and approachable that I can keep up with even while I have a full-time schedule of current clients!

Alyssa walks me through EACH step. Other courses from designers I’ve taken I end up having to Google and YouTube missing info, but Alyssa covers it all and makes the process easy. I’ve been held up for 8 years with WP and I finally feel competent. I know this is a course I’ll keep using over and over. It’s timeless!

I designed a Website on WordPress with Elementor a few years ago and I hated it! It was so complicated and I really didn't enjoy designing. A couple months ago I wanted to give web design another shot and started to design on Showit, which was a 100% better experience. But I have to say...I don't feel super qualified only using Showit for all my future clients so I came across your account and course. I completed all modules and it is by far the best course I ever took! It's so knowledgeable and wholesome. Nothing compared to the Showit Course I took a couple months back. Alyssa makes the course so much more fun too! She's so sweet and funny and made this whole process so much more enjoyable. And...I don't hate WordPress anymore! yay!! I am planing on offering both, Showit and WordPress Websites in the future and I feel comfortable with offering WordPress Webdesign with the knowledge I gained from this course. My biggest win from this course is that I don't think WordPress is scary anymore and that I feel more qualified as a web designer. I am also sooo excited to check out the bonus module and can't wait until they are finally online. I feel like Alyssa didn't gate keep anything in this course which I feel like a lot of other course creators do so I am really happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it to everyone who wants to learn more about WP or anyone who want to become a Webdesigner. I think the best thing or the thing I am most excited about in this course is, that Alyssa is going to keep upload more and more content. I also love listening to Alyssa and she honestly made this whole process really easy. Thank you so much!

I love how real Alyssa keeps it inside the program. She really does show her exact process for designing $10K+ websites and I love how fun every lesson is. I went into this course with pretty much any knowledge about designing websites or running a web design business, but Alyssa covers it allll. Everything from how to create websites on WordPress, to the sales call, sales proposal, pricing the project and more. I feel so confident and excited to dive into my web design business now. Trust me, this course is worth it!

Terra M.Web Designer

Winning at WordPress is exactly the course I’ve been waiting for. I have always wanted to add WordPress to my skillset because of its demand and now I can. This is the second course I’ve purchased from Alyssa and Brand & Bloom and it does not disappoint.

Amy M.Web Designer
did you know...

About 810 million websites use WordPress, and WordPress websites make up an astonishing 43.1% of all websites on the internet.

Only 2.96 million websites use Squarespace. And only 8.5 million websites on Wix.

Those are tiny, tiny numbers compared to WordPress. 

If you ONLY use Squarespace or Wix, you are closing yourself off to literally millions of opportunities. 

HERE’S THE DEAL

No Gate Keeping.

There’s no holding back in this course. I’m giving you my exact process, creative strategies, sales call guides and more so you can easily replicate them for your own business. This course overdelivers on substance, done-for-you-materials and fun. Barely covering the surface of designing beautiful websites is not my vibe. At the end of this program, you’ll know how to design badass websites on WordPress with confidence and ease. Your future clients are going to love you.

No Filler. All Fun.

No filler. No BS. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to learning. I understand that some of us like to learn in a fast approach, and some of us like to learn more in-depth, going over every tiny detail. That’s why I offer both ways inside of the course. You can work at your own pace, or you can press play and follow me step by step as we build your first WordPress website together. Each lesson is fun and interactive! Trust me, I know there’s nothing worse than taking a “course” and you’re bored out of your mind 15 minutes after pressing play. That won’t be the case here. It’ll feel like we’re web designer besties hanging at our favorite coffee shop.

Not Just About Design.

Is this a program about learning how to create stunning websites on WordPress with no code? Yes. Is it JUST about that? Nope. Over the course of this program, you’ll also learn sales strategies, how to scope project, creating design retainers for your business, structuring VIP days & weeks, and now you’ll get access to our Live Monthly Q&A sessions where we can talk all things web design, business and anything else your little heart desires.

Why is learning WordPress as a web designer vital?

– It shows that you’re a skilled, experienced and professional web designer (even if you’re brand new)

– It shows your potential clients that you are beyond capable of handling their website

– It shows that you are serious about your craft and that you’re more equipped than other designers

– Clients find it a serioussss red flag when website designers don’t know how to use the OG website platform.
