Complete Web Design: from Figma to Webflow to Freelancing (Udemy.com)
3 in 1 Course: Learn to design websites with Figma, build with Webflow, and make a living freelancing.
Created by: Vako Shvili
Last updated September 2026
Our take
Based on the ratings of 22,616 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
Vako Shvili's course is three courses stacked together: design theory (layout, typography, color, photos), Figma to draw the site, Webflow to build it without code, then a freelancing section on finding clients, pricing, and winning work on Upwork. It runs about 23 hours across 205 lectures, with 19 assignments the instructor says he reviews himself. The people it suits best are career changers starting from nothing who want to end up selling websites, not designers who only need Figma. It was updated in September 2026, so the Webflow interface should match what you see on screen.
Reviewers are warm about the teaching. One student calls him the best instructor ever, another calls it the best Webflow course they have taken, and a graphic designer with five years of study said the design rules in Part 1 were things nobody had taught her before. Students also like that every segment ends with a practical assignment. The complaints cluster around Webflow. One reviewer found that part overwhelming and doubted she would finish. Another, more advanced, said it skips modern Webflow habits like clamp for font sizing and never covers GSAP animations. The same reviewer called it a beginner course that, on its own, won't hand anyone a freelance career.
Next to the other Figma courses on this page, this is the one that goes furthest past the design tool. Most of its neighbors are Figma-first; this one ends with a live site, a CMS blog, and a section on pricing and proposals. That breadth is the trade-off. Figma is one leg of three here rather than the whole course, and the Webflow chapters move fast. Fewer than 200 of about 22,600 reviews land at one or two stars. It is long, but for anyone who wants the whole freelance pipeline it is a sound first purchase.
Pros
- Design theory chapters teach layout, typography and color rules even working designers say they never learned
- 19 assignments spread through the course, and one reviewer confirms the instructor responds to them
- Takes a client project from brief and mood board to a live Webflow site with a CMS blog
- Updated September 2026 and rated 4.7 across roughly 22,600 reviews
Cons
- Webflow section overwhelms some beginners; one reviewer doubted she would finish it
- Skips newer Webflow habits like clamp sizing and GSAP animations, per an advanced reviewer
- Freelancing part is a starting point, not a guarantee of clients
It's great that there are practical assignments in each segment because that is where the real learning goes in, highly recommended.
Marked all levels, but it truly starts from zero; only a computer and free Figma and Webflow accounts are needed.
What you will learn
- You will learn design concepts like layout, typography, visual hierarchy, design tricks, and more.
- You will learn how to design beautiful websites using Figma, an interface design tool used by designers at Uber, Airbnb and Microsoft.
- You will learn how to take the designs and build them into websites using Webflow, a powerful site builder used by teams at Adobe, Dell, NASA and more.
- You will learn freelancing strategies used by successful web designers and how they make good money freelancing online.

Course Description
Web design is fun. It's creative.
It gives you huge self-satisfaction when you look at your work and say, "I made this.". I love that feeling after finishing something. When I lean back in my chair, look at the final result with a smile, and have this little spark joy moment.
It's especially satisfying when I know I just made $5,000.
Wouldn't you want to have that?
Be your own boss?
Be a professional with a skill that's in demand?
Working from home? Or Starbucks? Or a bathtub, if that’s your thing. Or maybe somewhere awesome, like Bahamas?
I do! That's why I got into this field. Not initially for the love of web design, though I do love it now. I got in for the lifestyle.
There are many ways one can achieve this lifestyle. This is my way. This is how I reached the life I dreamed about for years. And I’m going to teach you to do the same.
Often people think web design is complicated, that it needs creative talent or knack for computers. Sure, a lot of people make it complicated. People make the simplest things complicated, just like most subjects taught in universities.
But I don't like complicated. I like easy. I like life hacks. I like taking the shortest, simplest route to my goal. I didn’t go to art school or get a computer science degree. I’m an outsider who hacked my way into this field, and somehow, I ended up as a sought-after professional.
That’s how I’m going to teach you web design. So you’re not discouraged by needless complexity. So you enjoy the process because it's simple and fun. So you can become a freelance web designer in no time.
Enroll now and start whenever the time is right for you. I keep the course up to date, review every assignment, and answer every question in the Q&A.

Today I finally completed Webflow Masterclass on Udemy. Honestly, this is probably the best Webflow course I've taken so far. What surprised me the most is that it isn't just a Webflow course. It teaches the complete process of building websites professionally. Before this, I used Figma mostly to recreate pixel-perfect designs. I wasn't really confident designing in Figma from scratch. But this course changed that. The Figma lessons were explained so well, and now I understand why Figma is such an important skill for every Webflow designer. Another thing I really enjoyed is that the instructor doesn't just teach random features. The whole course follows a real client project from start to finish. You learn how to create wireframes, design in Figma, present the design to the client for approval, build everything in Webflow, optimize for SEO, add animations, and much more. It feels like you're working on a real project instead of just watching tutorials. Every assignment was practical, and I genuinely enjoyed completing them. I learned a lot throughout this journey, and I can already see how much my workflow has improved. A big thank you to Vako Shvili for putting together such an amazing course. I truly appreciate the effort you put into it. God bless you!

Great course, am just getting to the Webflow parts but found the Figma parts so easy to follow. It's great that there are practical assignments in each segment because that is where the real learning goes in, highly recommended.

I want to express my deepest gratitude for this course. I never imagined that learning could be so interesting and, at the same time, so rich in practical experience. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Right now, I’m going through a difficult period in my life, and I hope this course will help me realize my potential as a creative person and earn a good income to live comfortably and pursue other creative goals. Thanks again! And to those who are just starting out—don’t be afraid! You’re already on the right path. The main thing is to stay disciplined, and then, over time, the cumulative effect will happen—which is called a result. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS COURSE AND THIS VALUABLE KNOWLEDGE! IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME!!!

Vako is a really great teacher/lecturer, he’s the type of person I want to be my teacher in everything I want to learn, and not only that, he’s also a great mentor, I wonder how he finds the time to always answer questions, every single one, and update the course and still work as a freelancer

This was a good course,it had resources that made things more clear and we were given notes on some of the sections that had long explanations and differences.Id recommend this to people who want to dive into web design
By Ritwick Kumar on 2/28/2026
Really solid course. It explains both Figma and Webflow in a practical way, not just theory. I liked how it focuses on building real projects step by step. It helped me understand the full design-to-development process clearly. Would definitely recommend it to anyone serious about web design.
By Magdalena Sikorska on 2/20/2026
First part of the course was great! I've been studying graphic for 5 years and working as a graphic designer for couple of years now and nobody told me earlier about many designing rules as Vako said, so that was a very important lessons. However the part about webflow overwhelmed me. Too much information made this course too difficult. The course isn't also updated regularly what made learning a little problematic. I don't think I'll manage to complete it.
By Saad Shaikh on 2/8/2026
As a self-taught UI designer with over a year of experience, I wasn't sure if I would learn much new in the Figma section but I was wrong. This course helped me refine my design workflow significantly. The transition into Webflow was the highlight for me. I had zero Webflow knowledge before this, but coming from a development background, Vako’s teaching style made everything click instantly. He explains complex concepts in a very clear, easy-to-understand language. This course doesn't just teach you how to make things look pretty; it teaches you how to build them and, more importantly, how to sell your services as a freelancer. Whether you are a complete beginner or an active designer looking to add 'Developer' to your title, this course is worth every penny.

This is the first course I’ve purchased on Udemy, and it fully met my expectations. At the beginning, the instructor teaches techniques and tips that are truly useful for creating website designs in Figma. As for Webflow, he explains the basics and shows ways to further develop this skill. The freelancing section is a bit weaker, but still quite helpful ;)
By Ros Emmanuel Ibarrientos on 1/9/2026
I'm deaf and I want to learn more different design. I think best Figma. whatever. I think best both Figma and Webflow. I need to work freelance some other company or clients. if someone hearing not accept about deaf design or can be accept deaf design. I hope learn train design.
