WebDesign.com is proud to present our next live training event in Oklahoma City on February 17-18th, 2012. This power-packed, in-person workshop will cover all the hot topics when using the Builder theme. Not only will attendees have a firm grasp on using the Builder theme when they leave, people will also leave with a fully functional Flickr-clone built with iThemes Builder. In addition to hanging out with members of the iThemes team, you’ll also get to rub elbows with Ronald van Weerd and Sridhar Katakam, two leaders from the Support Forums who are frequently referred to as “super heroes.” Ronald and Sridhar live overseas, so this is a rare opportunity to meet them in person!
INSTRUCTORS
Benjamin Bradley – WebDesign.com Professor
ATTEND
Why Attend?
Leap Ahead of the Pack: You’re ready to take your iThemes Builder skills and your design/development business to the next level – stretching the boundaries of what’s possible with Builder. With what you learn at this in-person training you’ll not only set yourself apart from the average designer, but from anyone else who doesn’t attend!
Build Your Professional Confidence: Often the biggest distinction between massively successful designers and “just barely” successful designers is the level of confidence they have about their skills, which affects how they market and how they are able to talk about what they can deliver. With the rock-solid confidence you’ll gain at this LIVE training, you won’t hesitate to let people know what you can do. Your wallet will thank you for it.
Personal Attention: You’ll be part of a small group, so you’ll get tons of “face time” with the instructors, get your questions answered, and be able to network and collaborate with fellow participants. You’ll also meet – and learn from – other members of the iThemes team – including Ronald van Weerd and Sridhar Katakam, two of our international team members. This is a rare opportunity to meet them in person.
You’re Ready: You’ve attended some live webinars at WebDesign.com with Benjamin Bradley and already know how valuable and life-changing the information can be…and now you want more!
