Sebastien landed a $95k role at within 4 months — and it could go up to $115k within 5-6 weeks

Sebastien Louis United States

Full‑stack developer (Java + React)

"He just landed a $95,000 role. And the kicker? It could possibly go up to $115,000 within the first 5 or 6 weeks." Within just a few months, Sebastien went from a Java developer to learning frontend to becoming full-stack and getting this role and he also received an $83,000 competing offer from another company.

Landed a $75k full‑stack role in less than a month — now planning to buy a house with his wife

Dorian Cottle United States

Full‑stack developer (banking industry; prior backend experience)

"He spent less than a month on the course, and he had some backend experience, and he just got a $75,000 full stack role." The interview process was straightforward — just two rounds. They asked me to design an elevator from scratch to see my thinking process, and then invited me to meet the CEO in person. About a week later, I received the offer letter. Now that I have this job, my wife and I have been looking for houses.

Landed a $75k full‑stack role after sharpening his frontend skills after only 2 months!

Marshall Stone Kansas City, MO

Full‑stack developer (startup offer; prior C# backend experience)

“I ended up getting consistent interviews — roughly one a week — and received an offer from a startup: $60,000 to start with a 25% raise after passing my probation at three months and another 25% at six. The role is fully remote, which gives me the flexibility I wanted for my family.” “Coming from a C# backend background, Frontend Now helped me level up my frontend skills fast — filling in the gaps so I could meet real hiring standards and present a stronger portfolio and application. It’s a great place to start if you’re moving into frontend from another area; the support and structure made the difference for me.”

2 freelance gigs and a Developer role within 2 months

Johnny Kenton Albuquerque–Santa Fe, NM

WordPress freelancer & part‑time web dev at Samba Scientific

“Through the program I gained the confidence and experience to build simple, clean websites for people I knew — $100 and $300 projects for a family friend and my mother‑in‑law. I leveraged those into a part‑time role with an agency called Samba Scientific after they approached me on LinkedIn. I competed and beat out two other candidates. Before Frontend Now I worked in a completely different field with no web experience. Next up: keep learning JavaScript/React, keep freelancing, and keep stacking wins with the earn‑while‑you‑learn approach. I’d definitely recommend Frontend Now to anyone looking to switch careers into frontend.”

Landed two freelance clients — turned an old contact into a paid project after 2.5 months

Carl Millard United States

Frontend Now student building small business websites

“I landed my first freelance client by reaching out to an old contact from a facility maintenance job — not on Upwork, but through real connections. They needed a website, and I’m now building it for around $250–$300. Since joining Frontend Now, my skills as a designer and developer have grown exponentially. Before this, I could ‘put code together,’ but I didn’t understand real-world standards. Now I can build clean, modern, professional websites that actually meet today’s expectations. The program gave me the structure, support, and confidence to start freelancing for real — and to turn web development into a long-term career.”

Landed my first freelance client — $500 for 5 pages after 2 months

Zachary Holocker United States

First client in the medical niche using cold outreach

“I searched for medical websites in Texas and found one that looked terrible — so I reached out and offered a free call. She’d just fired her previous designer, so I gave her a fair price and landed the job: $500 for 5 pages. It was my first ever client, first try. She even mentioned recommending me to her family. I wouldn't have landed this without Frontend Now — from contracts to design strategy, this course made it happen.”

First freelance client for $300 for a 3‑page site in under 2 months

Evan Johnson United States

Verizon sales rep transitioning into frontend development

“At first it was rough — I spent a couple of days cold‑calling dentists and lawyers like the course suggests and got nothing but no’s. I asked for help in Discord, and the advice was to try warmer leads. That felt uncomfortable, but it worked: a coworker knew I was learning frontend and connected me with his dad’s landscaping business. He trusted the referral, and I landed the project — about $300 for a simple 3‑page site.” “Now I’m aiming for five‑star reviews and a couple more clients I can leverage into a developer role. I absolutely recommend Frontend Now — unlike other courses I’ve tried, the mentorship, Q&A support, and real guidance when you hit roadblocks make the difference. Learning something new can be frustrating; having coaches and a community to ask questions is exactly what I needed.”

3 Upwork offers after 2 months of this course just after 3 months!

Maria Nagornaya Scottsdale, AZ

Changed her life with freelancing — 4 clients in 4 weeks

“I did a bootcamp... but at the end of it I still could not code even a simple HTML and CSS webpage. So I took a leap of faith... There were tears, but I pushed through and saw great progress.”

I landed a paying client within weeks of starting.

Keith Schmidt Ashland, OR

Early-rising talent on Upwork with multiple freelance clients after 3 months!

This was my first freelance client — and I made $300 in a single day after 3 months.

Dylan Giddens Memphis, TN

Landed a freelance client — now aiming for dev jobs

“This was my first real freelance project and I landed it using what I learned in Frontend Now. I finally feel confident building apps and charging for my work — it’s been a total game changer. I learned more here than in my university degree. Frontend Now actually shows you what real frontend developers do and gives you a roadmap to a career.”

Finally understanding Flexbox and building confidence

Patricia Powers United States

Determined career-changer learning deeply and steadily

“I was frustrated for a while — not getting it — but then I rewatched Harry’s videos and things started to make sense. I’ve taken three bootcamps before, but none explained things the way Frontend Now does. The WordPress videos were the missing link for me. This course is helping me become the developer I’ve wanted to be for 30 years. I now understand what it takes to truly be job-ready, not just solve a few problems. I'm going slow, but I'm determined — and grateful.”

Even on my second application, I started getting interviews just after 3 months.

Myles Jefferson Houston, TX

6-figure interviews and growing confidence

I didn't expect the coaches to be this involved — there's always help on hand. I used to be scared to apply for jobs, but now I go for it even when I feel unsure. I’ve gained the confidence and roadmap I needed to move forward. It’s changed how I see my future as a developer.

Built confidence in HTML, CSS, and WordPress — ready to freelance in 6 weeks!

Neiyo Nakachi United States

Beginner to confident developer, now preparing for client work

“Everything is laid out clearly and easy to follow — no steps missing. I’m only on week 3 but already two months in because there's so much content. Coaching has been really helpful. Every time I had a question, it was answered quickly and meetings were always on point. The hardest part was figuring out what to build for my portfolio and getting used to WordPress, but coaching made it so much easier. I came in basically knowing nothing, and now I feel confident with HTML, CSS, responsiveness, and using WordPress. I’m excited to start freelancing and make money doing this.”

Landed a mid level job after setting up a design system after 2 months!

Sayf Ismail

Mid-level developer building momentum with mentorship & real work

I'm a mid-level developer with about two years of experience. I joined the Learn Frontend Now program to polish up my portfolio and get mentorship. Harry guided me technically — especially in setting up a design system with Storybook. I was also able to land a freelance gig through the program and complete it in a week and a half. The team's support has been amazing, and now I'm aiming to land my my next mid level job!
