My custom workshops help your team become better web designers.

My hands-on workshops are ideal for…

• … teams with with excellent project managers and print designers who need to start building websites.
• … folks who need to build quick, good-looking sites, and don’t want to use Dreamweaver or FrontPage any more!
• … people who don’t need to code every day, but want to troubleshoot and fix problems and build elements without bothering the technology team.

My workshops: custom, bite-sized, hands-on

My workshops are small, hands-on, and involve a lot of hands-on practice — and they’re customized to your needs, using examples from your day-to-day work.

My workshops are different lengths, but the best ones are spread out in bite-size chunks, rather than all at once. It’s less disruptive to your business, and helps you retain the information in ways an intensive, all-at-once “boot camp” won’t.

What People Say About Jim’s Classes

Quoted from anonymous evaluations by adult students:

Jim was great, funny, engaging and extremely patient. Would recomment him as an instructor for anyone, especially beginners.

I especially liked how he paced introducing new material (baby steps!) and how he gave us exercises so we could work at our own speed.

What a tremendous instructor. This was my first class with him, and I hope it’s not the last. Absolutely brilliant.

Very well prepared and helpful. Felt like he answered everyone’s questions, but didn’t get the class bogged down while doing so.
