Course Description

100% Answer Rate!  Every single question posted to this class is answered within 24 hours by the instructor.

As a musician, I learned how to create websites out of pure necessity. I am not a professional programmer - I learned through trial and error and studying on my own what works and what doesn't work. I've now written hundreds of websites for artists, musicians, bands, galleries, and other organizations. 

In 2009 I created this class, "Web Design for Artists" as a class I teacher in-person around my area. The class has been very successful, and I'm really excited to bring it to an online platform. My goal with this class is simple: I want all musicians to have a website, be able to manage their website, and never, ever, have to pay someone to do it for them. 

This is a hands-on class: I am going to make a website for myself during this class, and walk you through every step. Nearly every video is a "walk through" on how to do something. And because I'm not a technical web designer, we won't get bogged down with any abstract terminology - only what we need. Let's dive in! 

Praise for other classes by J. Anthony Allen 

  • "Dr. Allen does it again with his music theory for electronic musicians series. This course really opened up everything I learned from the 1st section and now I understand more about the composition side of things for music. I highly highly recommend this course to anyone!!! Really opened my eyes to many things I wasn't aware of."

  • "The Best Teacher Ever, who makes you understand the in & out Music Theory by all mean without giving what you don't want to know."

  • "I have never had any formal training in music at all. Trying to learn all the notes and how everything translated was a serious challenge. After going thru this class, Dr. J has totally brought down the barriers. The content was very useful and was easy to grasp for me."

This is exactally what I needed!!!

By David Russell on 8/14/2017

The course is good for learning manipulation of wordpress themes and getting a website up and functioning quickly. I learned a lot and now have a site up for my band.

By Gil Aguilar on 9/30/2015

Straight forward approach to get up and running using Wordpress. I enjoyed following along as it covered just what was needed to make things function as intended. Thanks again cheers ...

By Brian Baker on 9/7/2015

Excellent course for Artists and Musicians who dont want to code or hire it out. I have been studying Web Design to make better sites for myself. I cant say enough about this class. It eliminates the need to code. For Artists who just want to create their music or art and get a good web site up and working quickly and dont have money to spend on a designer, this is awesome. You do have control over look and feel and functionality. Unless you really need to do something beyond the basic profile artists page there is no reason NOT to take this course.
